That's not fine at all. We gave up our top prospect and a ton of picks to get these older guys. We'll have cap, but we all know the inflated price of FAs are never a good thing.Only Coyle has term beyond this season, they'll be fine.

He was also one of those constant PITAs while with Minny too. He just seems like one of those players that always manages to get in the way and mucking things up for us.Not in the classic Sami Pahlsson sense, but he's an absolute pain in the ass to play against. We witnessed that on Jan 25th he was all over the place with his active stick
Just Laughton?Dreger talking up the Leafs (shocking) but I'm not a fan of what they did.
But it wasn't enough, and we f***ed ourselves for next year too.If CMac didn't move these pieces to go all in everyone would be upset too that he sat on his hands.
It was majorly a seller's market and they had to make changes if they wanted to compete this year. Even though the D is a bit concerning if we run into an injury or 2, but this team is much closer to competing for a Cup than they were 6 weeks ago.
Exactly. Any hits to the D will affect most teams anyway as well, so the AVs aren't alone in this even amongst the western titans.If CMac didn't move these pieces to go all in everyone would be upset too that he sat on his hands.

Going from Mitts on the 2nd line to Nelson and Coyle on the 3rd line is going to improve the team so so much.He was also one of those constant PITAs while with Minny too. He just seems like one of those players that always manages to get in the way and mucking things up for us.
I like this... I hope to see him doing it to others soon and often.
Yeah, those hurt.Exactly. Any hits to the D will affect most teams anyway

People who are sleeping on the Avs are focused way too much on the point total and not enough on the big picture:
- Started the year with like 2 wins their first 10 games. It’s been an uphill climb since.
- Horrible goaltending issues plagued the team early on.
- Black hole at 2C the entire season.
- Weirdly constructed pass-first forward lineup.
- A ton of injuries early on.
The issues are corrected and they won 4 straight prior to all the moves. It’s the playoffs. Anyone can win, but they’ve given themselves a damn good opportunity.
Probably only waived for Florida. Like Giroux did.I swear to god, Val, if you mess this up for us.
I am shocked it only cost a conditional 2nd for Marchand.
And what will it be if we get on the list again?

I would like to see a bigger sample. also the losers of the final, maybe top4 finishers too.
It would be the oldest team to win a cup in the last 10 years, but not nearly as bad as I thought it would be.28.79 years, via EliteProspects
So just about right
You conveniently left out:Erik Johnson 36
Charlie Coyle 33
Brock Nelson 33
Ryan Lindgren 27
Jimmy Vesey 31
Casey Mittelstadt 26
Calum Ritchie 20
Oliver Kylington 27
Juuso Parssinen 24
We better f***ing win this year, because next will be ugly.
