Maybe we can get CGY and another team to retain on Z so he fits under the cap better. Last year on his contract so it's not completely out of the realm of possibilities.
That pairing provides nothing offensively. Try Jones with Manson and we might get at least a bit of offense.

The thing with Kane is that I’m not sure his style helps us best tenacious teams like Seattle and Vegas. Not saying we need talentless goons but guys who can hit forecheck , make the other team aware it isn’t just Mack’s line they need to stop . Easier said than done for sure .

It's a 3rd pairing, they aren't suppose to score goals. If they don't let a goal against in their 10-12 mins they play a game, that's more than enough.

If people think Manson’s a poor skater, wait until you see Tanev trying to get around out there.
Yeah, actually if it was Toews coming back it'd be a better fit. We could use a 3C, or a smart two way winger.
So what, if Kane comes in does Bednar finally break down and move Mikko down so the the top six is more balanced after never trying to balance that line before?
When Mikko did move down Bednar went and put both Lehky and Nuke with Mack for like part of a game.
I'm also fine sending them JD Tatar and Dermy and taking the whole hit.

Salary cap question notwithstanding, a guy like Elias Lindholm would be great . Center or wing flexibility a bonus
I'm sure there is a way, but that trade won't be until later in the year if it happens.
They absolutely should not be spending 2M+ on a backup goalie again.
Prosvetov at like $950k should be a perfectly capable backup.

This, but not only this, Blackwood sucks.

AJ has to be the dumbest f***er to ever cover the Avalanche. Objectively speaking of course.
He's always pounding JMFJ into the sand, yet JMFJ is quietly leading the D in xGF%.

Is he though? He doesn’t look like an NHL goalie. He’s pretty much another Annunen. Also what if Georgiev gets hurt? Are you really gonna rely on Prosvetov and Annunen to win you games?

Avs need a cheap forward, I say go get Kent Johnson from CBJ, we're long overdue for a trade with them.
Based on a single game?
He looked great against the Blues and he has a .909 sv% so far. Let's maybe wait another 3 games at least before declaring him an AHL caliber goalie.

Alex holtz in Jersey? Joe veleno?
I want to see how he continues with more work with parkkila.

I’d look good against the Blues too. It is small sample size but against a better team Seattle, he didn’t look good. All I’m saying is if Georgiev gets hurt right now, Avs will probably be in major holeBased on a single game?

Based on his play, they already are . A re tool may have to be considered (Rantanen, Girard, Byram etc…)

Very unlikely obviously but would rather they start either drafting better or acquire more depth . Can’t acquire depth without trading bigger pieces
