@joebob120@Chris__Conner@LukeH999@Avalanche If only we signed Kadri back then it makes you wonder what the team would look like right now. No need to trade multiple 1st to fill that 2C role, not trading Mikko and probably don't need to trade Byram. The domino effect.
@joebob120@Chris__Conner@LukeH999@Avalanche That's what pisses me off. We have Dallas where they literally draft their whole core in a single draft Heisk, Oettinger and Robo. Avs keep missing. Would be nice to hit for once and not having to trade our picks and prospects to fill like a #2C or bottom 6 role...
@joebob120@Chris__Conner@LukeH999@Avalanche That's the goal to win it all. I bet Oilers fans would trade their whole farm to get that cup instead of keeping prospects to develop and picks.
@joebob120@LukeH999@Avalanche Isn't that the thing to win a cup ASAP while we have Mack and Makar in their prime? Because if we were to develop as you said we would still be cupless right now but hey we would have draft picks and prospects instead of having a sure thing well a cup we might win in 2030 or 2035
@PapiLeafs34@ProducerDrew_ As long as we have Mack and Makar this team will still be competitive. Will we be favorites? Probably not but our window is still open. Canโt say the same for Leafs. I knew Marner wasnโt the problem so glad heโs thriving away from Toronto just like a certain Kadri who won a cup.
@joebob120@Chris__Conner@LukeH999@Avalanche Bro if you were our GM we would be cupless this decade. "Draft and develop" lmao. Stick to other sports this hockey thing ain't for you little guy.
@joebob120@Chris__Conner@LukeH999@Avalanche Can continue saying no Toews as well since we should've kept both 2nds to develop. Just for your info when Avs won that 2022 cup they had 5 drafted/developed players all in the top 10. Only Newhook 16th OV. The rest are trading picks and players. That's roughly 24% of the roster.
@joebob120@Chris__Conner@LukeH999@Avalanche Good thing they did. Tell me who was worth developing in this list? Only one I can see right now is Ritchie. Even if we kept every single one of them do we even win a cup this decade? According to you we should keep and develop which means no Lehkonen and Manson if we do that.
@joebob120@LukeH999@Avalanche Clearly reading isn't your strong suit. "Can't develop and draft outside of the top 10." Avs made their core off high picks 1st, 2nd and 4th overall. Rants (10th) traded for Necas. When was the last time a pick outside of top 10 was part of our core draft or trade?
@Chris__Conner@Avalanche What I hated with CMac is finding a #2C going low risk high reward type of deals. Getting RyJo then trading a 1st to get rid of him. Traded Byram for Mitts who was pretty good that year but was magically a shell of himself the next year. Again it falls on just resigning Kadri.
@Chris__Conner@joebob120@LukeH999@Avalanche I wonder if Avs trade for Roy at all if they knew they were getting Kadri. I loved Roy in the playoffs somehow I still believe that 1st is fine considering we get him another year at 3M$. I'm more hurt thinking what we paid to have Nelson right now.
@D3athCom3sEasy@cxdy02@SportsFwiend@PredsNHL@NHL Completely agree with you here. A big problem is Mack unwillingness to play a dump and chase game when the speed rush entry in the ozone doesnโt work. You saw Landy try to dump the puck multiple times but Mack and Necas never skated to pressure Vegas dman. Easy breakout for VGK
@PresidentVeen@LukeH999@Avalanche So what? We should've waited longer while we bet for Mack and Makar prime years? You can't be this stupid? Still laughing about the "All contributors" talking about Helleson and Barron lmao while forgetting Mans and Lehk. Are you sure you're an Avs fan? Holy shit you're clueless.
@pfmbo@MaKarGoat@adater Dynasty? Damn we can't even beat Dallas without their #1D and best goalscorer. We also just got swept by Vegas after being one of the favorites to win the puck. Have to imagine what would've happened if we faced either team in 2022.
