I just checked what the Avs will be like in five years.
Almost every team in the league has a hole in the lineup somewhere though. They have five years to do their best to fix them all. After this summer I think they'll be in as good a position as most teams going forward.
Oh sweet innocent child...I never heard he blocked us though. I can't imagine he'd block a trade when he could play with MacKinnon/Landy/Mikko.
Here's his full list.
The recent skid has put people in chicken little mode and the visible frustration last night doesn't help but everyone knows the upcoming summer is going to be important. MacKinnon obviously wants to take a step forward this season but he also knows the approach they're taking with this young team and is on board with it. Like he said though, he won't be patient for too much longer:
I'm not going to worry about MacKinnon's future anytime soon but they need to be aggressive this offseason. Even if the best case scenario happens with the Sens pick, Sakic still needs to make a splash on top of that.
Where is Hayes? None of these players are what we need. Certainly not LeBrun's best piece.Here's his full list.
Look at their drafts as to why their bottom 9 is better. No failed 1st since forever plus some very useful players picked in the other rounds.

Compare that to our pathetic drafts. Minus our idiot proof top 4 picks and Rantanen what have we produced?

We're on a losing streak, people always go crazy No-one was saying these things a few months ago.
Bull****. If you didn’t have me, Henchy, Cobra, etc. on your ignore list you’d have seen it.
Though I realize that listening to anyone who doesn’t just reinforce your preconceived notions, is not popular with some folks
Nah, the losing streak just forced some of y’all to get your heads out of your asses & realize what some of us have been telling you for most of the past year

Guess I missed all the MacKinnon is leaving posts back then haha
The Avs wouldn't use Jost in that sort of trade... Ghetto, Barbario, and Wilson are the only possible names I could see. Now that I type that out... Wilson could make some sense if he ever gets healthy. Avs would have retain, but no biggie there.
What are you even talking about?

Dude, learn how to use the multi-quote button...
Glad you’ve finally seen the light & realized we can’t sit on our hands ad infinitum or MacK might leave!
At most, they have 3 more years...and if it hasn’t happened by then, MacK could easily ask for a trade before those 3 years have passed.

They definitely can't sit on their hands forever, but we should all expect Sakic to do something this summer, and not just add a depth player or two. It's obvious there's going to be some kind of big or semi big moves, in addition to adding a really good player in the draft.
All the problems don't have to be fixed in three years either. They could add good players through the draft/UFA/trade this summer, and then slowly address the final touches as they go.
Also, I think a lot of this is based on the premise that Nate will insist on playing for a team with no holes on it. That's not a realistic expectation for a UFA. Most teams have holes on them, even the ones that win the Cup.
They just have to make sure the Avs are competitive during his contract, and that's something that is certainly attainable for this team. He's playing on the best line in hockey, and it will likely be one of the best for a long time. That's not something a player easily walks away from.
Should we & is it? I’m far from convinced that Joe wouldn’t be content picking 5th, signing a lower level 2nd line winger in FA, and letting Frank n Groo fight it out for the goalie gig; while banking on Makar / Meloche / Timmins to bolster our blueline & Kaut / Bowers / Shvyryov / Lewis the forward core. That sounds much more like his MO than making an aggressive move that solved a hole for the longterm, so what makes it obvious that Sakic will suddenly act out of character this summer?
It would be naive of Sakic to be banking on the likes of Meloche, Lewis, Shvyryov to bolster anything at the NHL level, but you are right, Sakic will need to find his balls to make some big trades starting next season.
