When you have so few prospects, any prospect is technically a top prospect

I don't think a late 2nd would be out of the question for him after last year. Maybe a late 1st if paired with Carrier, but I don't think we were banking on it.Another player who got overvalued by teams fans
Predator fans were wanting a 1st or 2nd and decent prospect for this guy start of the season
I hate how the Avs make great TDL moves year after year. They've really upgraded their roster. Scary team
Last year doesn't count. We didn't do anything at the trade deadline. But the year before was awesome.
I know - outrageous lolAnother player who got overvalued by teams fans

Not really, a late 2nd wouldn't be too far off his value coming into the year. I suspect we couldn't re-sign him and got what we could.I know - outrageous lol
Again, thats not the point. I was told 1st rounder or they’d just hold onto him because later picks not worth it - classic case of fanbase overvaluing a player. clearly a 3rd rounder was worth itNot really, a late 2nd wouldn't be too far off his value coming into the year.

Trenin isn't a center. He's been on Sissons wing pretty much since he got in the league.Nuke is back in practice; will play next game. The big question mark is Landeskog -- if he returns and, if he does, how bad he looks after missing two years. They've got Kovalenko coming over from the KHL shortly and should get a bottom six look at some point, I think, but might just warm the press box at this point.
It's possible LOC has a longer term injury. If LOC cames back, sans Landeskog, we're looking at this right now:
Lehkonen - MacKinnon - Rantanen
Drouin - Mittelstadt - Nishushkin
Wood - Colton - O'Connor
Parise - Trenin - Duhaime
Cogliano - Kovalenko
They've basically built a brand new fourth line.
They took last year off which had the fanbase worried that CMac was asleep at the wheel.I hate how the Avs make great TDL moves year after year. They've really upgraded their roster. Scary team
I'm aware; still expect that's where the Avs will try to slot him. They've got a ton of wingers and no natural fourth line centre on the team. They also like weird rotations where they have wingers like Parise and Cogliano step in to take draws for the fourth line.Trenin isn't a center.

Oh shit! Any info on Hanzel?
faceoffs wouldn't be were he'd struggle, the dzone coverage isn't anything he's every done. That's square peg round hole stuff.....I'm aware; still expect that's where the Avs will try to slot him.

I mean that was based on what Trotz was telling everyone. I mean not just a couple of days ago they said on the Preds broadcast he was keeping him.Again, thats not the point.

Who does he play with that does the Dzone coverage? Im imagining him playing with cogs and duhaimn who are both defensively sound.faceoffs wouldn't be were he'd struggle, the dzone coverage isn't anything he's every done. That's square peg round hole stuff.....
I mean he's never played center in the defensive zone, which is totally different than wingers in the defensive zone.Who does he play with that does the Dzone coverage? Im imagining him playing with cogs and duhaimn who are both defensively sound.
The Avs have never seen a square peg they haven't tried to drill into a round hole. You underestimate their penchant to play wingers at centrefaceoffs wouldn't be were he'd struggle, the dzone coverage isn't anything he's every done. That's square peg round hole stuff.....
Top prospect is a big exaggeration…
really?
No they haven't because he's never played center, don't even think he did in the AHL. They've never even tried him there in Nashville.The Avs have never seen a square peg they haven't tried to drill into a round hole. You underestimate their penchant to play wingers at centre
Bednar already said here they've supposedly seen him at wing and centre and will figure out where he slots in. It's a near guarantee they going to at least try it.
