We wont know until hes gone but what I do know is he will never be that guy in Denver while Makar is there.

Lol that doesn't make me feel better. Would be interesting to see Kakko in a different system, but I don't think he would have fit here.If it makes you feel better Avs would have picked Kakko
Maybe, if he was the top D, on PP1, he could produce points. I don't really doubt that. But his defensive play and decision making as a 2nd pairing D has been so bad I just don't really care about him anymore.
Attended the game tonight, man that's a fun place to watch a game. Forget about the nonsense everyone says about it go see it for yourself.
And man some Avs fans just make us look bad. Guy in front of me with a Roy jersey on was bitching for a good 5 minutes about how could we be "struggling against the league's worst team". Coyote fan told him to STFU and go check the standings once in his life. Dumb Avs fan says something stupid like he wants to fight and then goes off to buy another beer. Just before the end of the second this guy was wobbling and almost fell over into the next row. Unfortunately in preventing his fall he dropped a full beer onto another Avs fan and there was almost a fight there. Some people should just go to a bar instead of pay $100+ to watch hockey games but what do I know?

Byram can't be THE guy on an NHL team. He's just not that good. And there's nothing wrong with that. Very few players in the league can be the best player on a team. And Byram sure ain't one of them.

he thinks hes that good. I wish Mackinnon thought that way more often to be honest.

Performances like this have become too common and quite frankly is unacceptable.
That's a lot of money actively hurting the team right now.

And no matter how much some people around here have great imaginations, the guy they could trade Byram for won't be the best player on the team either.

Wasn’t Byram good to start the season when Avs went 6-0? Then the entire team struggled for a little bit. Now a lot of you are ready to get rid of Bo but if I recall correctly some of you didn’t want Toews resigned because we had Byram.
Seriously just chill and give it time. Byram should be fine. If he struggles all season then maybe we can talk about getting rid of him in the offseason

I don't get the Byram hate. I mean, nobody is enamored with the delay of game stuff, and he seriously needs to clean that up post haste; but I don't think he's been nearly as bad as his detractors make him out to be. In the interest of fairness, he also is not playing up to the level we've seen in the past. It's more of him not being great combined with the delay of game stuff that has people overreacting, I think.
For the record, outside of briefly during our cup run, I've never seen Byram as a #1 but more of that guy you will need, if playing to his capabilities, on the second pair if you want to go far.

All the more reason to improve the 2nd line, to take some time away from Mack/Moose/Nuke. Instead they are playing 25 mins/game like today and are dogged.

Improve the second by moving Val to it and move Tartar up to MacKinnon's line. If you're going to have a useless line at 5v5 stack it with your useless players.
..............................................f***ing what? The guy who is universally celebrated, in contention of being the best player in the league, won a norris and conn smythe in the same year. WHAT!?

I love posting here but some of the things I’m reading right now makes me want to take a break from this place, and all because of OT loss vs freakin Yotes?
Byram is the worst player on earth
Makar is not a #1 d-man
I mean give me a break

I actually thought Byram was fine tonight. His mistakes, though, are glaring and costing the Avs goals.

Mistakes don't always have to be as glaring as his have been this season.
Letting guys sneak behind you because you fell asleep, taking penalties because you are lazy. These are easily avoidable mistakes but he keeps making them.

Nothing to forgive, if I had actually meant Makar, my god...I'd have it coming and then some.

Unacceptable. I said earlier in the thread that I wouldnt praise Bo because I knew he was going to take a penalty and he proved me right haha
Man oh man if we could swindle Cozens out of Buffalo for Byram, I would fly to Denver to drive Byram back to the airport.
