I don't think Petey gets to vote on it until after this trade-deadline no? (Officially after this season but effectively the same thing.)Dahlin for Petey, who says no?

Shitty luck for them, missing half of their top 6Avs are about as one line of a team as you could ever construct right now.
Georgiev is playing unreal.Expected more from Colorado.
For a team that won the cup in 2022 the Avs have fallen fast and that’s with Mack at 29, Rant at 28, Makar at 26. Nuke and Landy with personal issues causing uncertainty and injury with unknown timeline.Avs are about as one line of a team as you could ever construct right now.

Nothing to back it up but I always assumed they were very much on the same page. That with Aquilini liking to push his involvement with the team he got a GM in Jim Benning that welcomed him in the room and valued his opinion.I thought the excuse was that Frankie was pretty much playing GM which made Benning a dickless pushover. Either way it was that or Benning being 95% regarded and or both
I mean Landeskog and Nichuskin represent a significant cap hit (not sure how the CBA works out for them) and loss of quality of players. That's two top line wingers simply gone from the lineup not leaving them much after Rantanen. Also the team that won the Cup had a lot of great value contracts with a handful of guys like Kadri going over a PPG at around $5M a season. Those guys all cashed out with bigger contracts on other teams.For a team that won the cup in 2022 the Avs have fallen fast and that’s with Mack at 29, Rant at 28, Makar at 26.

Their core guys are in their prime yet they don’t feel like a serious contender like they should be.

I pointed out repeatedly when they were dominating that it was going to be extremely hard to make it last because they had a massive cap advantage from a few contracts that are all gone now. Injuries and other circumstances are hurting them a lot, but those long gone sweetheart deals are what really made them a powerhouse.For a team that won the cup in 2022 the Avs have fallen fast and that’s with Mack at 29, Rant at 28, Makar at 26.

Avs are a perfect example of how windows are shorter than you think because it's tied to the contracts, not the players, and you have to really commit to winning when you're in a legitimate window.
This is exactly it, Hughes and Demko’s current contracts are our window
They should trade for Binnington and Saad.Colorado should’ve gone hard after Ullmark, their goaltending is going to be their downfall
