Not Great, Bob!
Meh. Bednar preferring fringe depth guys to a young raw rookie is expected and all good. However, Lindholm blows.
Exactly, yeah. Especially the first part, but I thought Lindholm wouldn't even have to go.Meh. Byram really wasn't that impressive at camp and Lindholm has NHL experience. It's a bigger factor than HF Fans want to believe.
It's not like either guy was ever going to play and we were in a tonne of trouble if Lindholm or Byram did get called upon anyways since at that point were down 3-4 Dmen above them. Neither guy is NHL quality at this point.

Any coach would, and should.True. Bednar values NHL experience.
Byram staying home is fine by me but don't we have anyone better than Lindholm?
Any coach would, and should.
Right, get him hanging with the boys in Edmonton and then when he gets to camp for next season, it'll be an easier transition. There's some merit to that for sure, especially given it's between him and a through and through AHL guy in Lindholm.Please take Byram to Edmonton. When we sent him back to Vancouver last year, I think it really affected his confidence. Even if he doesn't play, it will still be good for him to be around the guys and build a rapport. Plus, there is no way he isn't a better option than Lindholm.

The more I discuss this, the more I'm realizing we're actually talking very deep in the depth chart. Must've kinda missed that. I do kinda wish Byram could hang around the team to be honest. It's a unique and weird opportunity to gel the team, I'd assume.True.
Also, this is essentially just what starts to happen when you become a true cup contending team. Young guys have to wait a little longer to get that opportunity to play on contending teams largely because of how deep they are, and that's the same thing here with the Avs.
I mean, without having looked too much, how many teams in the playoffs this year have a #10 Dman like Lindholm who has over 60 games of NHL experience. For the majority of teams by the time you get to that 10th guy in the depth charts you're talking about guys with no NHL experience.
Looks like we’ve got our team uniforms down for EdmontonView attachment 355433
Kadri got everyone on the team some Gucci sandals with their jersey # on them.
Time for him to redeem himself a bit. We’ll see if he does.Is Dater the only Avs covering media (outside of Altitude) that will be on site? The DNVR guys arent going, Clark doesn't sound like he's going either. Who's left? Chambers?
Edit: doesn't look like Chambers is going either. So it's Dater alone.

Maybe someone at the NHL was like "Oh no is Adrian here? We better tighten things up a bit..."I think they’re restricting media access inside the bubble to strictly NHL people. So, like NHL.com writers.
Unfortunately for Dater, I think they made that decision after he got to Edmonton.
