As we expected, Lehky/RyJo/Mikko working as a line
f*** man. Watching EJ in that clip makes me sad. Totally not worth his new contract but still. Really happy he ended up getting his cup with us.

How can you have a captain's skate without a captain?

We don't know if he is. Everyone is speculating he is based off one tweet that says he had some Avs staff adjust something he was wearing.
Happy to see some form of confirmation of this... Though I still don't trust Bednar to actually follow through with those lines.
But especially with our forward depth we absolutely need Mikko and Mack to stay apart and hopefully carry a line each. Can't have them playing together because flat out our depth isn't close to strong enough for that to work.

Hey, maybe Manson just ends up on LTIR for the year. That would be best case scenario as then we don't have to watch him play like shit all year and we get his $4.5M to spend elsewhere.
Meh Lehkonen and Nuke are really interchangeable on the top 2 lines IMO. As long as MacKinnon-Drouin and Johansen/Rantanen stay as duos I don't really care who's on the LW.
I actually prefer Lehkonen-MacKinnon-Drouin.

Sure. The entire point of my post was that Mack/Mikko need to be split up. Beyond that I don't really care what they do with the lines, but we don't have enough depth to put those two together this year. They need to be able to carry one line each.

I imagine they'll be separated to start the game but in panic time like down in the 3rd period or something Bednar will throw them together kind of thing.
Without Manson the Avs D will be better.

Any news on Nishuskin? I bet he did a lot of push ups over the summer because I read somewhere he was flexing his guns all over Russia.
The answer to your question is in your question. Manson.

I mean who doesn’t want Hunt JJ or MacDermid JJ full time pairing

I thought Hunt ended up getting killed by a hooker at Shotgun Willie’s

Honestly, how does RyJo not have a good bounce back season playing with those two? It seems nearly impossible with his skillset.
These are the obvious lines too. As are Drouin and Val starting the season with Nate.
