So a 3rd line.If the Avs move Kadri, I’d 100% be down for an offensively inept second line of Jost-Danault-Nuke just for the defensive pressure.

7-3 EJ waivesWho will the Avs likely be protecting in the expansion draft? Will they go 7-3 or 4-4?
So you're leaving Donskoi exposed? Would love him on the Oilers.7-3 EJ waives
MacKinnon
Landeskog
Rantanen
Nichuskin
Jost
Kadri
Burakovsky
Makar
Girard
Toews
Grubauer
One reason not to seek an exemption for Francouz. It meets the requirement to expose a contracted goalie which opens up trading Miska to a team needing one to meet their requirement.
Odd man out. Has 2X $3.9M left on his deal.So you're leaving Donskoi exposed? Would love him on the Oilers.

He'll get Hossa's disease.I think the Avs might need to buy him out at this point. I don't know how this team swallows two years at $6M for a third pairing guy.
You know... my biggest fear with EJ is he plays one game in the playoffs and the NHL won't allow him to be exempted. It sucks because of his leadership, but the best move is to just buy him out if he wants to continue his career.I still think they'll buy EJ out. I know they don't want to but they gotta free up cap space, unless Joe somehow magically unloads all these bad contracts in the same offseason.
He needs to waive. If not, buyout/trade.You know... my biggest fear with EJ is he plays one game in the playoffs and the NHL won't allow him to be exempted. It sucks because of his leadership, but the best move is to just buy him out if he wants to continue his career.

I'll never understand this place. The whole team has been playing poorly and we're here criticizing.......Tyson Jost again.
The guy who's played the best hockey of his career this season and been one of the Avs best players against Vegas.
The guy who only trails the top line and Saad in post season goals and points among forwards this year.![]()
people are complaining about Jost?
Yes we're still complaining about Jost's production as a 3C.
Eh, I think the bigger concern is that we have 1/3rd of a second line.
And I want to see the Venn Diagram of those also advocating for Danault who put up two less goals and 7 more points and will probably cost twice as much.So do I. Jost is fine as a 3C. Even if he doesn't have top end production.
The Avs led the league in goals with Jost's production as 3C. And the only forwards that have produced more than him in the playoffs are the top line and Saad.
And I want to see the Venn Diagram of those also advocating for Danault who put up two less goals and 7 more points and will probably cost twice as much.
Yeah if we lose lose this series I agree. Nothing Bednar could do that he hasn’t already.It's time to mix it up. And change coaches.
The C depth is embarrassing and has been not good enough our entire contention window. It would’ve been passable this year but unfortunately Kadri is too brain dead to learn that hitting dudes in the head is illegal.Kadri's gotta go
Donskoi's gotta go
Graves' gotta go
Nemeth's gotta go
Soderberg's gotta go
Burakovsky and Compher would be nice to move on from
Saad's gotta come back
Yeah that's about all I've got right now. Just another frustrating season that is surely finished on Thursday in embarrassing fashion.
