No, no, no. I think chambers is full of crap. I think he has no clue what's going on. If there's an offer out, it's to one guy. I just don't think that's what he meant.
Rumor: Choose your coach from the final four (six?)

Well that's an entirely different scenario altogether, and one I'd be more inclined to agree with.
I was thrown off with the phrasing:
Which seemed to indicate you thought perhaps the Avs did/would put out an offer to multiple candidates.

I dont like the we assume it's held up due to negotiations, there's no need for him to say that. If they feel the offer has been made then it's been made.

Ok then. I think we can both agree that perhaps we're looking way too much into one little tweet.
I agree that he should know it would be stupid, but I also don't believe he'd be THAT incompetent to use it in that manner. But hey, potatoes/potahtoes, right?

This team would do itself a few favors if they were more transparent. Some of us really like the offers on stuff too. There is appeal to it as fans.. hint hint avs. NEW FANS..

I guess what he's trying to say the final 3 are Bednar, Lambert and Dineen.
He also has the date Roy quit wrong but whatevs

Agreed. Dineen is my #1 choice and then Bednar
Indeed. It's laughable how many people (non-Avs fans) think Sakic is a terrible GM.

If Chambers is correct, that's too bad about Green. I would have liked to seen him get the job. I don't think they can go wrong with the other options though. All seem like solid choices.
I have limited knowledge of the AHL guys but my order of preference would be Bednar, Lambert, and then Dineen.

Traded away Berra ................ check
Traded away Holden .............. check
Bought-out Stuart ................. check
Re-signed Mack long-term ...... check
Re-signed Barrie ................... check
Brought in a new head coach .. soon to be check
And didn't overpay or hand out a long contract to an UFA
The only thing missing was trading away Iggy. It's been great off-season otherwise.
At this point the only things that could possibly make it better is if they change the goal horn back to the old avalanche warning siren and they brought back the old jerseys.

The problem with that comment is that it would be a no brainer for that club in their situation.
I cannot complain about any of the final 3 though. All would be good choices.

At this point I'll be kinda of shocked if it isn't Dineen. All signs seem to be pointing at him being the guy. Plus as much as I dislike Dater, he seems to usually know what he is talking about when it comes to Avs rumors.
For me right now it's like 85% chance it's Dineen, 15% Bednar, and basically Lambert is the guy that is the failsafe, if we can't get either of our first two choices.

What kind of coach is Dineen though? What he did with the Panthers appears... familiar. He took a team that was going nowhere and made a division champ out of them but lost in the first round in 7 games....then had a bad 2nd year and missed the playoffs...then had a worse 3rd year and got fired.
Hmm...I've seen this before.
Last thing we need is a motivator type of coach. I'm not saying he's one (I don't know) but I hope we're not going this route again.

I think "on paper" Panthers were worse team then than we are now. TBH based on our history and last two coaches experience I still expect AVS to make tha playoffs this season. The toughest thing is to sustain it in following seasons.
Could also be that they made an offer to one of the guys and he turned it down (maybe he wanted more than one year, etc.). So they moved on and madean offer to another candidate. That would satisfy the plural offers, but not be unprofessional. And I could see them doing that. Pick the best guy, offer him a year as a prove it (not unreasonable for a rookie coach). He says no, move on to the next one...at least until you decide an extra year commitment is less downside than dropping to the next guy on the list.
Offer Green a year...no
Offer Bednar a year..no
offer Lambert a year.no
offer Green 2 years...no
offer Bednar 2 years..no
Offer Dineen one year.
And so on.
Not saying that is what is going on. Not even saying it is likely. But it is possible (though I highly doubt it would stretch to that level). And it qualifies as offerS, even though only one is out there at a time.
They could also have put time limits on the offers, especially given the situation. Give first guy a day to think, but move on quick if he drags his feet.
