Among Others might be a good pickup.

Like tanev doesn’t do things for attention. You do realize he’s building an image right?

How soon after the Avs’ disastrous 48 point season did they make the POs? IIRC, the answer was pretty quickly.

That wasn't the start of their rebuild in 2016-17 for the Avs. That was mid rebuild. Followed by a re-tool when they traded Duchene for Girard+ at the start of 2017-18.

The Avs rebuild started with MacKinnon's draft in 2013.

Roy willed a shitty defense into the playoffs and lost in round 1 the first year. Then they missed the playoffs the next three years. Then made the playoffs, but lost in round 1 in 2017-18. Then made it to the second round in 2018-19 five years after the start of their rebuild.

If you commit to a rebuild, you're commiting to sucking for a little while, and missing the playoffs, so that you stockpile high draft picks.

Not sure when Chicago committed to their rebuild, but it was probably when they traded Keith in the summer before 2021-22. They're on their way to missing the playoffs for the fourth time in a row since then. Would be 5 if you start it at 2020-21.

If St Louis is smart, and they decide to trade someone like Parayko, they should commit to a rebuild to stockpile high draft picks, and that means missing the playoffs the next little while.

Well, they are not. They will continue to retool. They refuse to bottom out the way Chicago has. Which I love. They'll be mediocre for a while

Probably true.

And burn every bagel joint in town.

You can hardly even call those travesties bagels, considering what they do to them.

Don't even get me started on what they like to do with pizza.

Obviously tongue in cheek, but at the same time, the Avs need to target player who can generate offense at even strength. It’s unlikely we acquire a guy for the top PP, so we need even strength play drivers.

 

[Bender]

I really hope we don't get Tanev.

Imagine him and Chinstrap on the same team!?!?

It would be like a weird George 'The Animal' Steele NHL duo...

 

[Tommy Shelby]

I really hope we don't get Tanev.

Imagine this f***ing guy linking up with the Butt Brothers, what a nightmare

Nelson a target for the Avalanche? — The Fourth Period

If Colorado goes after a No.2 centre, could Brock Nelson be a prime target for GM Chris MacFarland?

Looks like NJ definitely needs a C now

We’ll give them Mitts for a 1st round pick

We would be very happy with Nelson as 2C for a stretch run.

6’4”, has 35 goals a season the past 3 years, and is a great skater who is at the top of the league in those bursts off the rush that we love to use in Bednar’s system.

We probably won’t be able to extend him as he will want a raise on his current $6m and at 33 years old, it’s a contract that will likely age badly.

He’s also heavily rumoured to sign with Minnesota in the summer or go back to Long Island.

Nonetheless, for a rental and playoff run, he’d obviously be a huge improvement on Mitts and give us a strong 2nd line presence.

 

[Linds]

And they can take Wood back as well

Mid-rebuild? Sure but you should still look at the changes in the roster from the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 seasons. And I’m pretty sure the Avs weren’t making the POs without getting G and trading Duchene. What a difference to the D adding G was. He was the perfect player for JB’s transition game.

Yeah watching the team before and after trading for G was like night and day.

Said a lot about how bad the D core was and how perfect Sammy fit Bednar's system.

I also think that decision to focus on improving the D core (Makar, Girard, Byram, Manson) is what won them the Cup. They took it for granted and now they have to do another mini version of it.

lol not even Seth f***ing Jones wanted anything to do with the Avs

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Unreal lmaooooo

We were apparently heavily interested and that was reported by multiple insiders, but he wasn’t even willing to waive to come back to where he lived ages 2-12, his dad works for the Nuggets, and Joe Sakic taught him how to skate.

“I’m not going to f***ing Denver”

The phrase of all NHLers.

Starting to think the Colorado River isn’t quite the draw we thought it was.

 

[Avaholic19]

He's still butthurt we didn't draft him

 

[forsbergavs32]

Well if it was down to Dallas or Florida, I’m glad Dallas wasn’t interested

 

[TheForsbergShow]

Honestly that is pretty crazy he wouldn't even come here lol. I hope we get an avs-panthers finals rematch and we get to see a re-enactment of Mack burning him in the Memorial cup.
