He just won the Norris and has proclaimed his best hockey is still ahead of him
Newhook is turning into the Kerfoot trade on steroids.

Not Great, Bob!
I mean, Newhook is pretty good defensively, too, right? Right.

Kerfoot is way more talented. Kerfoot just has the strength of a small child.

Another decent bottom 6 guy off the board. Generally starting to feel, outside of Meyers, that the Avs are done.
He had a great statistical season offensively, he was horrible defensively. IMO I don' think he should've gotten the Norris. From a full defensive game he should've maybe been in the top 10...
You're not a good defenseman if you can't make it work with teammates like Burns. He threw tantrums apparently in the locker room. He's always below the dots in the offensive zone, and his team didn't make the PO's. At least Josi still makes NSH somewhat competitive. EK reminds me of Duchene.

Won't be surprised if they keep what's left (after signing Meyers) to see if there's anything on the waiver wire later or just keep it for the deadline.
Having both Meyers and Olofsson handed starting spots is a recipe for disaster. Injuries happen, who you calling up? Drouin or RjJo struggle, you move them down to play with Meyers/Olofsson and the entire line gets eaten alive. Need another NHL caliber forward at minimum, prefer 2.
CMac continues to fail. Roster is not nearly deep enough, especially if Drouin and RyJo don't work out.
I don't understand how CMac can sit there and think his forward roster is deep enough. It's really not close and is missing 2 legitimate bottom 6ers and possibly a top 6er depending on your thoughts on Drouin.

Rumour I saw today says that Tatar is close to signing with a "western conference" team. Take that for what you will.
To be fair, the Leaf fans who mentioned Kerfoot and Selke in the same sentence were 101% straight analytic posters who probably never watched Kerfoot in their lives up to that point. We all enjoy Leaf fans suffering, but it was just a select few who were mindless and not the entire fanbase. A good percentage actually hated the trade, but perhaps more along the lines of them being Kadri fans. The Hab fans I've seen have been more deluded in a bad way that is reminiscent of Oiler fans on this board. Granted it is not all of them being this deluded about Newhook, but a fair share of them no doubt.

This is the first signing that I'm actually annoyed about. You mean he'd rather battle Bastian, Foote, Tierney and Lazar for a roster spot, than be basically guaranteed our 4C spot? I doubt the Avs even sniffed at him. Wake up, sleepy Mac.
To be fair, $1 mil might've been out of the Avs' budget for Nosek. I'd be more annoyed if he signed for 800k.
You're reading way too much into this. The man knows he has a problem and did a lot of work both on and off the ice prior to this to try and get his career back on track. Unfortunately with addiction, one bad night can unravel all of that, and that's precisely what happened. Now he's starting all over, I don't see why it has to be more complicated than that. I don't blame him or the PA to see if maybe the contract can stay in place, that's a perfectly legitimate angle to pursue, it's not that much money in any event.
I am expecting this from us quite frankly. Fits the bill very well for what we need and sort of as a Rodrigues replacement.
I really don't think "sleepy" can be applied to Mac this offseason. Last year, yes, not this year.

It was more of a tongue in cheek thing, but I don't think anyone here thinks that the roster is complete, so he still has some work to do regardless
