I'm pretty confident that the Avs will take Larsson in light of what people are saying and those (admittedly weak) sources. Why is that annoying? I'm definitely not anti-Larsson, but I'm leaning towards not minding Landeskog or another forward. Confidence in the Avs selecting Larsson isn't necessarily a sign of favoring him (I still do atm though).
Whats "do their drinks"?
It was a joke. You are pro-Larsson (not anti) and you want Stastny gone. Majority of the posters outside the avs forum share your viewings. I just said "do to their drinks" as what did you do to get people so convinced.
Calm down bro.
Oh. No worries I'm completely calm. But it's definitely hard to detect sarcasm and jokes on forums I thought you genuinely were annoyed by this.

Ha ha, this forum was very anti-Stastny not too long ago. It seems ever since the Dater rumor, and subsequent trade proposals from other teams, there has been increased defensiveness and possessiveness over Stastny.
Good! The kid is a stud! <3
Stastny love aside I wouldn't hesitate to move him if it meant improving the team. I don't want him gone nor do I have a over bearing feeling of keeping him around. He just gets too much heat that isn't deserved at times.
People need to stop expecting a game changer in Stasts -- he can be that occasionally, but he has never shown that consistently; he's a safe minutes eater who can contribute steadily, and often quietly. I simply wish he would shoot more since he's much more dynamic offensively then. Either way, everyone gets hung over him being up to $1M overpaid...and I have no ****ing idea why, given the team isn't going challenged for cap room anytime soon.
I too would trade Stastny in the right deal. For example, a #2 defenseman in return or a package around a blue chip package that can become that player.
TBH, I don't care who we take with the 2nd. As long as we don't end up like Atlanta wasting our picks on mediocre defensemen and 3rd liners.
Apparently this mock draft suggests the Avs will pick two d-men with their 1st round picks.

Not that it would be wrong to do so, if you follow the best player model of drafting. It makes sense to pick 1 d man and 1 forward, but if you don't like the guys on the board versus their actual value, you go the D route or trade down.... though clearly this is a lesson the Avs still need to learn, see Hishon.
Not sure I follow, what's this mean?
Regarding contracts and FG over paying Staz on potential, Sherman has over paid on contract re-signings too, Quincey is over paid by about 1-1.5m.

I think this is where most people have an issue with him. They are still expecting him to be able to take over games night in and night out. Once you stop expecting that from him, you enjoy his play a lot more lol
I'm guessing he means the Avs could have traded down and still got Hishon...even though it's been suggested that other teams had him on the radar right behind the Avs.
Well he the team's best player, highest paid player, and has the ability to take over games. I can't blame them. I'm not one to complain about Staz, but sometimes he does leave you wanting more.
Sounds good to me!Larsson EJ duchene stastny we just need a goalie and we're set
