Scott Wheeler published a top-10 drafted goalie prospect ranking followed by 25 unranked honorable mentions, and Annunen was among the 25.
It’s crazy that picking names out of a hat would have been a better draft strategy than the Avs have been employing over the last 20 years!
Shit…by now, worst case, we should have found at least one or two diamonds in the rough, but we’re literally just getting bust after bust after bust when we pick after the top-10.
It’s absolutely infuriating that the scouts get to keep their jobs and f*** up our window after decades of no results! I know there’s been a few changes…but still.
if I don’t perform and show results each quarter, my ass is on a ticket to unemployedsville, like most people out there…but these guys just run it back, failure after failure, and hope that they’ll get it right *next year*.
f*** that shit…the Kroenkes need to stop acting broke and do whatever it takes to get Al Murray!
I’m still dumbfounded that we pretty much have the richest owners in all of sports and they’re so stingy that they’d rather have the fans of their teams not watch them on tv on the way to winning championships than appear like they’re giving in to the cable/satellite companies! That shit is insane IMO!
I’ve hung around Josh Kroenke a few times, 5-10 years ago, so I know it’s been a long time, but he’s a total basketball guy and is extremely money-driven. He’s super chill, but not a mention of hockey anywhere in his portfolio….just all basketball. To him, the Avs are just what came with the Pepsi Center and the Nuggets.
