In his defense at least he would be able to play more than 15 secs per shift before being dead tired.

And yet still just as effective as JT2C in the postseason.
With Calgary selling, may be time to trade Ryjo in a package for Kadri. Calgary gets out of the long term deal and they could possibly flip Ryjo this or next season.

I’m somewhat already over this seasonStay positive guys. Things are looking up as far as 2C is concerned. As Possibilities we now have Kovalenko, Mikko (as last resort) and let's not forget.....IIRC somebody here on HFAvs mentioned Drouin as well.

Davidson just said on Sportsnet that Jenner told him he doesn't want to go anywhere else, wants to stay and be part of the solution.

I say we get Henrique and a goalie.
CMac is banking on Landy and Nuke coming back + trying Ritchie at 2C next season. He has shown that he's a gambler.

He can gamble deez nuts on his chin if he doesn't trade for a legitimate 2nd line center.

Neither Henrique or Wennberg are 2Cs, so 1 and 2 are essentially the same thing.

No surprise there. Firing your GM and the new GM trading your captain would be insane.

Lol keep going john davidson, you're clearly a top notch executive who's been there forever and a consistent bottom-dweller and rebuilder. You sure know what you're doing!
Honestly, he's SUCH a moron. Another former goaltender, turned broadcaster (for the Rangers for a long-time) who someone decided was going to be a great GM/president when all he's ever done was prove he's no better than garth snow.
Circumstances - mostly the scarcity of other centers actually available - have made it so at this particular time, teams would be ready to pay a premium to acquire a guy like Boone Jenner. If there were 4-5 other good centers who were on non-contenders about to become UFAs, then no one is paying nearly as much for this guy than they would right now.
But he is too stupid to recognize this and is going to hang on to him because Boone is the only one who can 'mentor' the young players... not the rest of the garbage vets that he decided to bring on-board to continue to be a losing organization. He cannot and has never showed the ability to build a decent hockey team that can make the playoffs consistently... it's a frikkin' miracle that he's still employed by ANYONE.

It’s not good that the team looks even more tired after the All Star break.. Bo even mentioned the whole team is tired from being on the road for so long.
I wouldn’t be surprised if CMac does nothing and hopes that LOC, Val, Landy and Kovy are the solutions to our problem even though they clearly won’t be.

He's hardly new. He's been there the whole time with Jarmo every step of the way. He needed to dump Jarmo though because after the moves they made last summer -> getting Provorov and Severson and the Babcock fiasco, someone had to take the blame for them being somehow just as bad as the year before.
I'll add this - IF Jenner actually said that he wants to stay (and that's a big IF because I'm not convinced I can trust anything that fat bastard davidson says) then it's probably for the best the Avs don't even trade for him at all and switch to someone like Mittlestadt who is apparently - actually available.
The reason I say that is if I'm Jenner and I've been through that kind of crap since 2013 and he still doesn't mind staying there, then I question his competitiveness and ultimate desire to win a Stanley Cup. That team will not be in a position to contend by the time his current contract is up. I get wanting 'to be part of the solution' but sometimes timing is everything and nothing says he couldn't go back there after his current contract is done. It's like Gaudreau and choosing Columbus that left most people scratching their heads... we were like - really? But then when you think back to 'johnny hockey' and his play in the playoffs, you start to make connections and say - ah yeah, ok I get it - Columbus.
