Pre-Game Talk: Week of the Deadline: VGK, NJ, @DAL, SEA

[henchman21]

Yeah all the crying in here is preferable....

IMO it is just best to call it like it is, regardless of the side.

We’re bound to get hype on how good Compher is, how Newhook is turning the corner and breaking out, how Landy will solve everything, etc. Going full cope is the same as the fire CMac side.

 

[S E P H]

The propaganda machine is coming out in full force.

How can the propaganda machine come out in full force when nobody can watch the Avs games in the first place?

 

[Sea Eagles]

Looking forward to AVS beating up Stars today - who's with me?

The way I see it, no one here knew jack about player availability, LTIR status, player fit, what offers were made or not made. We have no insiders so we have no insight. Lindholm was unavailable. Hayes was unavailable. Klingberg sucks. Everyone is whining about what the Avs should have done but no one had an actual realistic proposal that made sense or was viable. It's so weird crying about what an opportunity was missed when no one even knows what opportunity was even missed if any.

Forget predictions after the trade deadline.
What matters…..is that locker room.
Who “believes” they can win……and wants it more.
Nobody wanted it more than the @Avalanche last year.
Let’s see. The ride begins.

But we do know some guys who were available (and would help) that didn’t get moved. We also know who moved who would have helped the Avs. The Avs decided to not pay up. Where that decision ends up will be written over the next few months.

 

[The Moops]

I doubt Jeannot was available, but the Lightning made the move because they wanted to get him. Takes balls

 

[Pokecheque]

Can’t help but think either the Avs’ primary target was unavailable due to injury (Henrique), too pricey, and/or they plain looked at the roster, all the injuries, E-Rod falling off a cliff, and said “Well…maybe this just isn't the year.”

Well ...
