[McMetal]

Looks like the GDT got dropped, so I'll step in and make one.

I do. It's probably why girls don't talk to me.

 

[Avs_19]

One out of two isn't bad.

 

[Foppberg]

Hopefully Bednar will actually give Greer a chance..

Why even do this to yourself? We already know he'll likely be on the 4th line, if he actually plays.

Yeah...

Lol Greer not seeing a second more than 5 minutes and you can bet he'll be sitting from the midway point in the 2nd onward.

We're on too good of a roll to mess with the line up lol ugh

 

[AvsWraith]

Game over, man. Game over!

 

[Avs71]

Are we going to see a Greer-McCormick-Someone 4th line? Would be nice to see a 4th line that could actually create some energy for the team.

Can we just f*** off with Lindholm already.

Pretty optimistic. I'm thinking he doesn't even get in a game. Hopefully I'm wrong and this means Ghetto is traded to Edmonton before next game.

Bedsy's fishing for miracles. Good to see Greer getting another chance, though. Unless he's all speed and no grit now he'll be sent down again soon, of course.

If they were fishing for miracles Martin would have been called up, or Frank if he is actually healthy. I'd describe it more like Bednar sitting at his desk pushing pieces around one of those sad garden things.

If you want a sobering reality... Lindholm is the most successful non top 10 pick the Avs have made in the last 5 drafts. I'm sure that will change, but woof...

That is kind of the opposite of sobering IMO.

Hepple seems like a solid head of amateur scouting (except for goaltending of course), but it seems if there is a spot we keep failing in it is from the regional scouts. Which is odd because the San Jose Sharks are the complete opposite in every way.

I'm really not the biggest fan of Hepple... better than Pracey, but I don't like how he runs a draft and some of his preferences and what he's willing to overlook. I wish the Avs were willing to go outside the family and grab a few guys for promotions.

Agreed, I suggest Hepple has a better eye for talent than Pracey and is solid overall, but like Pracey he tends to stick to his guns and not really adventure out beyond his comfort zone (until recently with his Russian picks). I would easily replace him if some amateur assistant is ready to take the next step such as Kevin Murray from Anaheim, Daniel Dore from Islanders, or Michel Boucher from Tampa Bay.

I dont know any of those other scouts but based on the teams they are employed by I want them all.
