They need depth so badly. I don’t know why but they remind me a little bit of Toronto 2 years ago. Few high-end talent, no depth, incredibly soft and average goaltender. Not looking that good for the future unless they can do something about it
Friedman: Predicts Avs Will Go “Big-Game Hunting”

Well you can’t go with 5 high end talent, 8 NHL players and 5 AHL quality player if you have subpar goaltender. You’ll get taken out each year by teams with better depth. Toronto being an example.
90 points last year (lucky you got into the playoff - Weak division and weak conference) and this year started 7-0 and now on pace for barely 100 points after 19 games :/

Things like that usually happen when you lose 6 regulars to injuries and 2/3 of your best players :/
They have depth and future assets, what they need is another impact top 6 player - which is why Sakic pushed so hard for Panarin
Every team deals with injuries. This is why depth is so important. Nothing wrong with saying that

Let it be against Vancouver for that 3-0 goodness.
You really can only laugh at that as a Nucks fan.

No team is equipped to lose two top line players. Take away Marchand and Pasta from Boston and they'll struggle. Same with Tkachuk and Gaudreau. Duchene and Forsberg. Huberdeau and Dadonov. No team has enough depth to adequately lose two players of that quality at the same time.
They lost Bergeron and Pasta for 17+ games. Chara for ~20 games, McCavoy for 30+. Yet they still managed to do 107 points because of... depth! Surprise
Oh so you disagree? Sorry I hurt your feeling saying you lack depth and your team is soft.

Ok cool. This is our first year with legitimate depth, so lets see where we finish the season.
Carey Price has only had one good season and any goalie would've looked good behind that Team Canada defense. His contract is an albatross and will keep the Habs in limbo for the entire length of it.
Okay... so I guess we’ll see how we’re playing after Rantanen comes back. If he misses 17 games and we go back to playing like we were before we got injured, 107 points is very attainable.
Depth is fine. I have no idea what you are on about. Would be nice if you stopped giving Habs fans a bad name with your unfounded theories.
I know you desperately want the Avs to trade for the albatross contract that is Carey Price, hence why you keep posting literal false statements like this one.... But it's not happening.
We still do not have any interest at all in Carey Price, just like the rest of the NHL. He's your problem to deal with.
Congratulations, you have found what people call an exception. It means that your point still sucks.

We already have our own moose in Rantanen. Would be too confusing for our announcers, sorry. Not going to happen..
IMO if the Avs want to do something, they should look at a guy like Athanasiou from Detroit...
Wings certainly could use a few more picks and prospects and the Avs wouldn't have to touch their first rate assets to make something happen...
He also is still an RFA on July 1st which bodes well for the Avs.
