time to get healed and get their heads on straight.
What’s your Avs related Christmas list?
What’s your Avs related Christmas list?
- A real 2nd line
- Calvert and Nieto to figure out how the **** to score on all of Soderberg's passes
- Tyson Barrie to figure his **** out
- Please god don't let this be the best of EJ
- Ian Cole to stop sucking
- Goalies to just be league average
- Consistent health for the top line
My wish is for one 2nd line forward to take the pressure off of the top line so they can play less minutes and for the defense to get it together again.
This summer is when we need to really start making big moves. Mack on his sweetheart deal, Mikko long term extension kicking in, Landy at his prime, Girard progressing, Makar/maybe Timmins/OTT pick should be making an appearance in the next year or maybe 2, need to start getting more solid depth at both forward and D.
Very true. Ever since Hench mentioned if we don't start winning some rounds MacKinnon might leave, it's left a seed of worry in my gut so we need to start building a contender asap.The blueline doesn’t worry me at all once Makar is there. EJ’s slowing down, so getting out of his contract will be a concern down the road, and Zads & Barrie’s contracts add some uncertainty...at least until the summer... but if Zads signs for Cole money or less & Barrie’s bump will be reasonable; then I’ll feel good about our potential to roll 3 good pairings throughout our window...even if we need Meloche or Timmins to replace EJ or Cole at some point.
And I like our forward depth if we can add a star to anchor the 2nd line around like Tara, Radu, Hughes, Kakko or even Zibby; or 2 higher end 2nd line guys like Hayes & Silfvy. Soda is one of the best 3Cs in the NHL, and with Kam / Bowers we should have a great 4c & serious competition to succeed soda on the 3rd line when his contract expires. With Jost, Kaut, Shvyry, Jimmothy, Weiss, Kerfoot, Greer, Kovalenko, Ranta, there’s a lot of young wingers with middle 6 talent...the first 3 having legit scoring line talent & Jimmothy / Weiss not being far off from genuine 2nd line skill.

The thing that concerns me the most is goaltending. We've seen how badly that can cripple an otherwise solid team (St. Louis, Calgary, Philly)
Varly won't be back, Grubauer is a question mark whether he can actually be a legit #1, and Frank is also a question mark. Though I do like him a lot.
Eh, I think if he knew Varly was gone he'd sign an extension. He seems pretty rational about his situation.We could potentially lose both Varly and Frank though if Frank doesn’t get some starts at some point.
