Just fold the season. I’m looking forward to next year already. Not even sure we’re making the playoffs this year. Possibly not

What's there to look forward to next year? They'll probably re-sign Georgiev because that'll be easier than making a trade for a league average starter. And we'll probably lose Rants to pay for Georgiev

And this is a second round of holy shit look at this list of injuries the Avs have for this season

All of these guys were healthy like last week. Other than Landy and Colton of course.

Cap Hit of Injured Players (CHIP) represents the per-game cap charge of a player missing a game through injury/illness, i.e. annual cap charge divided by 82

SIGH!

If we really lose Mikko and resign Georgiev, I’m probably not even gonna follow the Avs anymore

I was being hyperbolic but yes I agree. Looking bleak right now lol

Losing Manson is the one who will hurt the most , part of our top 4 and the D will be soft as butter.

He received a wicked slash in the Dallas game (which of course went unnoticed by the refs... as usual). He went into the corner and followed thru with a check. Lost his glove in the meantime. Didn't even try to pick it up and headed right to the dressing room. I'm betting the wrist is shattered and will take months to heal and repair.

OMG! That means extended ice time for DeHann! The Avs are doomed...

Losing Mikko and resigning Georgiev is pretty much a rebuild move. I know the rebuild has to come someday, but I’m just not ready for it at this moment

If we LTIR all our injuries and replace them with other contracts, we could end up with an NFL sized roster come playoffs. We'll need a mezzanine level installed on the Avs bench at the sack.

Love the baby boards allowing us to jump on the opposition on line changes. That corner would prevent rim outs to clear the zone leading to more offense. Also, very cheap tickets behind the bench due to the obstructed view (a current trend in NHL arenas).

All-in-all great changes to the Sack.

Go Avalinchee!

I'll go ahead and submit them to Kroenke Sports and Entertainment for consideration. Thank you for your support.

What even happened to Wood? I remember him going into the board and wincing when he landed.

He tried to deliver a hit, the guy moved, and Wood rammed into the boards. I'm guessing it's a shoulder injury.

The way this season has gone so far, getting Colton back will mean 2 other players will get injured..


Stay positive!!!

 

[pont]

Easy decision based on Colton's performance this year and Drouin being out. Good news for a change!

 

[Tralfamadore]

Doubt he returns at the level he started the season at but still a good addition.

 

[MacKaRant]

Applying the standard Avs underestimating factor, that makes Kylington week to week, Manson month to month, Wood year to year, and Landy lifetime to lifetime.

The pessimism on these boards is getting out of control. Lifetime to lifetime? C'mon now.

It's more like decade to decade.

 

[Cypher]

MTM means millennium-to-millennium for the Avs, let's be honest

 

[Pokecheque]

Will be nice to have a guy back in the lineup who can actually put a goddamn puck on the goddamn net.

 

[RECKLESS]

Ross Colton our savior.

 

[dahrougem2]

I assume when he returns the lines are

Colton - MacKinnon - Rantanen
Lehkonen - Mittelstadt - Nichushkin

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

My real hope in all of this is the Avs target a 3C at the deadline and move Colton to wing permanently. Would completely change the dynamic of our 3rd line as Colton is so much more effective on the wing.



Drouin - Mack - Nuke
Lehky - Mitts - Mikko
Colton - ???? - Kovalenko
Wood - Kelly - LOC
Kivi/Ivan


Or what would be even better is if Ivan could actually develop into a proper 3C.


Of course, we'll never actually be healthy enough to see this so it doesn't matter anyway.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Colton was supposed to be out 6-8 weeks and we are in week 5.

This stinks of Avs rushing another guy back too soon...

You're likely right but to be fair no one ever says "5-7 weeks" near as I can recall.

No, but they say 4-6…
