Same for Sakic, their defense is a disaster. They could really use Byram.

I'm glad he was able to turn it around here and keep the momentum going on Colorado.

Is it just the patch?

Are you seriously comparing a guy who built a cup winner going through a bad patch due to tons of injuries to a grossly unqualified bumbling incompetent failure like Adams?

Just goes to show that great GMs can also make bad trades..

So you think we win more games with Mitts centering Greenway and Zucker than having McLeod in that spot

I think we win more games with Mitts as the #2 center and Cozens at wing where he belongs (hopefully having popped his head out of his arse).

I really like Byram but he’s too much of the same thing. Overpaying a solid RHD vet UFA one time/sometime over the past 3 offseasons would have gone a lot further with Mitts remaining on the team, even if that vet dman wasn’t as dynamic and skilled as Byram.

And even if Adams had to pay Casey more than the $5.5m he’s is making with the Avs.

Looking back it may have been a move that sets his team back two seasons.

Man I forgot that the Whalers played through the 1996-97 season.

That literally means that there’s pictures out there of the (then new) Avalanche vs Whalers pictures. And Coyotes vs. Whalers pictures.

That’s almost as odd as there being pictures of the Thibault-backed Avs vs. Roy-backed Habs game.

ESPN is dogshit, these are the top headlines from a few min ago. Some of these are 3 or 4 days old ...

I wish Risto well. He celebrated like a maniac when he scored and was always loyal.

The guy cared. I have no hate for him. Was forced by organization to be a #1 D when he wasn't

This is an interesting conversation about the Preds 0-5-0 start after being the darlings of the offseason after their big name UFA signings.

They could end up being Exhibit A for the argument against spending big on UFAs, especially those who are as old as Stamkos (34), Marchessault (33), and Skjei (30).

All NHL team websites are down at the moment. Someone screwed up.

I said it when it happened I could see this going the way of the early - mid 00s rangers. Aka - mediocre

And now being used further down a lineup he is contributing.
