So they will be average at best going with the same defense?
We never said we'd be good

Which is the point.
These guys were all available at somepoint. The Avs passed on them or couldnt offer a trade because of cap issues.
Leddy
Boychuvk
Orpik
Niskanen
Leapold was available. But cap issues again made it impossible.
That is pretty awful mismanagement.
The AVS have a high end #2 and trash.
And they have to replace Hejda.
Nathan MacBust? :sarccasm:
Definitely not the 200 point scorer Avs fans said he would be this year,

What are you talking about? The Avs were in on Orpik, and if they got him, people on here probably would have laughed at them. They were in on Niskanen, but bowed out early because of price. Friedman has reported they have been in on every defenseman that's been available in trade, but do you really think Chicago would have dealt Leddy in the division? The cap hasn't really held them back from doing anything.Which is the point.

Or it could take one year? They have the same problem as every team that isn't one of the few elite. Including St Louis.The avs should have never signed Iginla, Stuart, and Briere.
At least Danny is only one year.
But having 9 million tied up between Stuart and Iginla for two more seasons after this one is really awful.
Right now the avs project at 60 million salary to start next season.
It could take them 3-4 years to fully address the defense.
That is not good.
It still doesn't change the realty of the situation.
Management didn't get it done.
Then went out and made multiple useless moves.
Reasons or excuses. Same difference.
The blues main concern is winning a playoff series.
The avs is where they pick in the lottery.
