So... They had discussions but didn't get anywhere with a front office hiring? This team...

Please elaborate, they actually whiffed on yet another possible front office hiring or is this a reference to the whole Dubas thing?

Oh, they whiffed again.

Oh FFS...

What did I miss?

What did I miss?

Nothing really, seeing as how we'll have the exact same Front Office this season, nothing was missed.

Unreal. How many organizations go through the kind of season the Avs had (with a nearly capped-out roster might I add) and only manage to fire a couple assistant coaches?

 

[CobraAcesS]

It only took a couple of posts before firing someone was mentioned. I think I might as well get Duchene on the first page lol.

Montreal still has all that cap space they are saving.

But their only interesting trading chip is a Lightning now.

Yeah...that about sums it up.

You can add ignorant, delusional and arrogant. But hey, they are in love with how they operate. They don't see anything wrong with it.

 

[Avs_19]

He's probably still holding out hope the Avs are working on a trade. Poor guy.

*checks scorecard*

 

[Foppberg]

My two biggest disappointments for this offseason are definitely not trading Duchene yet, and not adding anyone to management like I thought we would've by now. Hearing the Dubas rumours a few months ago I got excited.

Last time I do that.

 

[tigervixxxen]

There's a short video interview of him on TSN if anyone is inclined to find it.

somewhere out there... Joe Sakic is playing golf lol

Can we put to rest any idea that he still wants to be here?

 

[SuperJoe]

Absolutely, everyone has known this for a while now, but Joe has overplayed his hand and now painted himself into a corner

 

[Avs_19]

Can we put to rest any idea that he still wants to be here?

Anyone still saying that? It has been obvious since before the deadline that he wants out.

 

[Balthazar]

Outside of a couple of overly optimist fans, nobody thinks that he wants to be here.

Remember the face that Dreger made at the draft when someone suggested that he could be back with the AVS? It was a "there's no way Duchene can dress in an AVS uniform anymore" face.

Eichel negociating an 8 years deal.

Ekblad: 8 years
McDavid: 8 years
Eichel: 8 years
Matthews: 8 years for sure
Mack: 7 years

I still don't understand that. We're always a bit different aren't we.

Okay, those are not MacK's comparables. And two of those don't even have those contracts.
