Oettinger can get hot at any moment. Add known Avs killers throughout the lineup and a coach that owns Bedner. Well, that's enough to spark fear in a potential matchup.
Now go get Kerfoot and Bjugstad Cmac!
It should mean everything, because as good as teams have to be you also need extreme luck with health. If you aren't healthy, chances are you aren't winning your matchup let alone the Stanley Cup. Tampa Bay making it to the Finals in 2022 largely without Point doesn't mean all the other cases of teams losing due to big time injuries being suffered gets thrown out the window.With the greatest respect, since you're a great poster, but that 'if they are healthy' thing doesn't mean much to me...first, nobody is healthy in the playoffs. Injuries should be expected. Second, the Avs need quality forward depth precisely to cushion for that. The possibility of losing a Nuke-type forward should not doom the Avs' cup run in the first run as it did last year -- not when the stakes are so high and the window is so small. Look at Tampa -- they made it to the freaking finals against us in 2022 with Point only playing 9 playoff games.
I am afraid I only read new posts and therefore shan't be responding
Tanev is a UFA at the end of the year.He's got another year on his deal at $3.5M too. Wonder how much they retained? Aren't they supposed to be trying to contend?
I did not know Caleb Jones was the son of Seth Jones, also the brother of Popeye Jones who’s the father of Seth JonesAlso, he's the father of Seth Jones's brother Caleb Jones, who is the brother of Seth Jones and son of Popeye Jones
This is worth firing LMAODivision rival gets little better on defense with Tanev. Time for CMac to counter and trade for..

CRAZY. Before the season New Jersey fans expected them to challenge for the CUP.. Out of playofffs now. Feels like the Avalanche with Roy vs Wild..Yeah, it seems like NJ is throwing in the towel on this season. Wouldn't be shocked to see Toffoli and Nosek moved, maybe Miller and Smith, too.
Also think we see Ruff fired the day after the season ends.
At this point I believe he is paid for napping. Not for working.CMac still napping
Because they retained? I think they have all of the Dougie Hamilton LTIR space to work with, so why not buy a draft pick if ownership is on board?Yeah, it seems like NJ is throwing in the towel on this season. Wouldn't be shocked to see Toffoli and Nosek moved, maybe Miller and Smith, too.

NJ missing the playoffs would be the biggest surprise this year.Yeah, it seems like NJ is throwing in the towel on this season. Wouldn't be shocked to see Toffoli and Nosek moved, maybe Miller and Smith, too.

They are adding salary without getting any player back all for a 4th round pick, plus rumours Toffoli could be on the move. Then there's the failed Markstrom tradeBecause they retained? I think they have all of the Dougie Hamilton LTIR space to work with, so why not buy a draft pick if ownership is on board?
They willl be good, just like Avalanche, they have to suffer few years before success.NJ missing the playoffs would be the biggest surprise this year.
I thought they were too unexperienced in the playoffs to win the cup but never thought they'd miss the playoffs.

How can I apply for this job? The best job in the world. You never have to do anything and make few million a year.CNap
We have their wood and nose. Let's do it.If the Devils are actually selling, hope the Avs inquire about Nosek. An actual 4C who PKs and wins faceoffs.
rounding out his gameYou’re asking him to increase offensive impact when he plays with our only offense driving line ~20% of his ice time at 5v5. Defensively, he’s usually the one who has to break the cycle when they’re getting hemmed in cause lord knows JJ or RyJo ain’t beating anyone to the puck.
It’s no secret that the Avs lack offensive depth and have a huge need for a 2C. Those problems don’t (directly) affect the top guys, they affect everyone else.
And I'm sure Calgary felt confident matching up against us in 18-19 after smoking us in the RS series.Yeah...except that's exactly how I felt about Seattle last year. The Avs need more depth before I'm confident.
Fitz should arguably be the first one out. His work in net should be fireableYeah, it seems like NJ is throwing in the towel on this season. Wouldn't be shocked to see Toffoli and Nosek moved, maybe Miller and Smith, too.
