Sell what we can, let’s get back to tanking!

One year too late. Missed out on Bedard

 

[Avsboy]

Dallas is the team to beat in the West. Pretty clear, the Duchene add gives a lot of high calibre depth. Avs have to be healthy

 

[TruePowerSlave]

That's not what it is at all.

RyJo is replacing Newhook (2C)
Colton is replacing JTC (3C)
Wood is replacing eRod (middle 6 wing)
Drouin is replacing Landeskog (1st line wing)

Nobody is replacing Landeskog. He didn't play a second last season and essentially wasn't on the team.

ERod is replaced by Drouin, which is a downgrade.

Drouin is an upgrade over ERod

Drouin is an upgrade over ERod

He isn't. We will want him gone pretty soon after getting spoonfed minutes with the top guys. He doesn't do jack shit anywhere except in offensive situations either.

 

[The Moops]

Drouin can't shoot the puck. We'll be lucky if he gets 10 this year

Unless Drouin scores 50 points then it’s an upgrade

48 pt pace player without the Avs bump

 

[Foppa2118]

I'll echo what henchman said, we are just assuming that Drouin and RyJo will just work in the spots we are assuming they'll get.

Both are notoriously lazy don't give a shit players, that kind of shit doesn't really work with Bednar.

I hope it works in our favor and both guys excel, however it's completely disingenuous to ignore that there are huge question marks surrounding both guys.

I don't think anyone has ignored there are question marks with Johansen and Drouin.

A more relevant question is where are the teams with no question marks in their lineup?

Would be pretty disingenuous to act like the Avs are alone in this regard and the other top teams don't have question marks too.

Drouin can't shoot the puck. We'll be lucky if he gets 10 this year

Legitimately doesn't matter. If he plays with Mack, he is there to be a facilitator. He has far too much skill for this pairing to be an issue. The only legitimate worry is his health, which all of our injury prone boys have the same issue.

Also, I'm mad at myself for briefly contributing to a garbage thread of you all going back and forth arguing nothing points about nothing.

 

[Foppa2118]

Drouin can't shoot the puck. We'll be lucky if he gets 10 this year

To me Drouin and ERod is mostly a wash. They're both 45-50 point wingers, and that was before Drouin might get a bump in production playing on the Avs like Avsboy mentioned.

People bring up Drouin's low goal totals a lot, but he's not a goal scorer, he's a playmaker. He'll look to pass first and Nate will probably end up shooting more to compensate.

Is there really a difference if Nate scores 60 and Drouin scores 10, versus Nate scoring 50 and Drouin scoring 20?

The points are what matter. In the end the only thing that matters is the Avs got a goal.

Any team with Matt Duchene on it isn't doing f**k all come playoff time.

Quit your arguing over Dallas.

Duchene is bad luck everywhere he goes. Dallas doesn’t scare me

 

[JH21]

Drouin is an upgrade over ERod

How so?

Rodriques has one less goal LAST YEAR than Drouin has had in his last 4 years combined.

 

[NateTheGreat]

The way I see it, the off-season threads are for boundless optimism. Promptly followed by the first GDT of the year in which endless negativity begins.

Glad someone said it, Dallas isn’t doing shit next season.

Unless JMFJ scores a breakaway goal.

Honestly we all should have known the cup was ours when that happened.

Never forget.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Yeah it is pretty advanced. What that adds up to and what it means it up for debate.

The private model's teams have are far more advanced than most anything out there. Doms and JFresh's might challenge some lower end teams out there or models that get sold to teams (not Mike Kelly's though as it is far more sophisticated), but the majority of teams and especially the top teams in that area have far, far more advancement in this area.

Is there a chance, that as team's private models get more refined and sophisticated that their older versions may become public? I'd very much be interested in seeing the difference between what teams are coming up with and keying in on vs what the big readily available public models do.

 

[JH21]

Drouin isn’t a goal scorer

Drouin hasn't done anything the past 4 years

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Any team with Matt Duchene on it isn't doing f**k all come playoff time.

Quit your arguing over Dallas.

And as long as they are foolish players like Benn costing them games.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Clearly MacK’s going to whisper sweet nothing in Marchand’s ear and convince him to request a trade to the Avs

How. Dare. You
