How Do You Expect To Feel About The Avs Deadline?

This is the first of three different polls on the Avs trade deadline. One right now before the deadline, a second immediately after the deadline, and a third after the season is over. Will be interesting to see how our expectations compare to our feelings after the deadline, and then with the...

Overall very happy. Assuming Fourgiev plays just a little better I like our chances at winning the cup

 

[avsfan9]

Best team in the west

 

[a mangy Meowth]

I think we're better than Vegas, as long as Georgiev doesn't soil himself

 

[AVSfan2daMAX]

Much better after this week. AVS rightfully have legitimate Stanley Cup aspirations. Although, they partly hang on unreliable goaltending.

 

[forsbergavs32]

So much better than I felt Tuesday.

We just need Fourgiev to play better and we know he is capable of being better.

 

[Ceremony]

I think we did as much as we could. Hopefully it works.

 

[BrickNHL]

I’m in the option between satisfied and very satisfied. Just didn’t love the not adding a goalie part. Obviously I wanted a starter to replace Georgie or someone decent enough that Bednar would trust to use in case Georgiev can’t up his game

 

[Hornstar]

Vegas will be tough

 

[Pokecheque]

Getting another goalie would have really solidified things for me but admittedly I realize that would've been super-tricky to pull off.

So all in all I'm really happy about the pickups. A very skilled RHD who can play in all situations, a legit 2nd line center in his prime, and some real beef in the bottom six. As a fan I don't think I can ask for much more.

Sure hope the goaltending is at least good enough, but they certainly loaded up in other areas of need.

We did better than I thought we would. Our goalies are a question mark, but it's what it's.

Would’ve liked another 5/6 D and a backup but otherwise what an amazing deadline

 

[HockeyFan100]

Very satisfied, wish they could've gotten Nedeljkovic but other than that nearly a flawless deadline. I'm a CMac believer now.

Someone is going to ruin our vibes by making a post about expected saves on dangerous shots and some other analytical BS, but the fact that our roster is improved should help the goalie as well. If we can actually start rolling out 4 lines, that's going to help his numbers and that 4 line domination was the key to our success in 2022. It's still not the same team, but sure as hell looks better than last year and two weeks ago.

 

[Hornstar]

If nuke can be smart and keep his nose clean we should be fine. Just need to score 5 goals per game to make it to the finals

 

[Balthazar]

Posting this here instead...

I'm happy with the deadline as a whole...but from the outside, I don't like it when our GM tries to do something, fails, and then do nothing. As if there's no plan B.

It seems that it happened to CMac last year (paid for retention on Eller even if we didn't need it in the end) and this year again (was reportedly active for a goalie, didn't get one, and now we got nothing and aren't using all our cap space).

 

[TatteredTornNFrayed]

Turned out quite a bit better than I expected,

Still am very surprised they made no moves at G. That's been a huge sore spot majority of the season.

 

[Foppberg]

I felt great about it until Vegas got Hertl.

I felt great about it until Vegas got Hertl.

I still feel great about it.

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

Great deadline.

I feel like this is the deepest forward group they’ve iced in a long time. Not only that, but it’s the biggest pain in the ass for opposing teams to deal with.

Out of the last say ten years, only the Kadri era had this kind of depth and even then the 3rd line was soft as butter and non-existent in the cup run.

It seems like this group has good talent and a lot of players that fit perfectly in their roles. Not a lot of guys are playing above where they should be in the lineup.

The big things is health at this point, and if Georgiev can provide average level goaltending in the playoffs.

 

[Foppberg]

I still feel great about it.

I do too. But man.. if we play Vegas that is going to be an insane series. Bonkers.

 

[Ararana]

Outside of trusting Georgiev, could not have asked for a better deadline.

It sucks Vegas rushed in at the last minute and outdid cMac's work though.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

I guess if we won the Cup with one-eyed Kuemper, we can win with Fourgiev

Wish we still had Frankie

 

[Perratrooper]

Only concern is in net, really liked the moves otherwise however that’s what kept it from being very satisfied.
