I liked Trenin, but we really need legit centers in the bottom 6, not wingers playing center.
Colton is the 64th highest paid center in the league. There are 32 teams. Technically he's paid as an extremely low end 2C or an extremely high end 3C (one of the best 3Cs in the league).You can’t back what you’re saying. He’s not an elite 3C, he’s just an average 3C… as he is paid to be.
Can we please fire Bednar now? He needs a super team to get these guys to the next level. Over works our superstars and can't make any mid game adjustments.
Bednar is just Marc Crawford all over again.Can we please fire Bednar now? He needs a super team to get these guys to the next level. Over works our superstars and can't make any mid game adjustments.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, you're my favorite poster on this site
And who exactly do you hire?Can we please fire Bednar now? He needs a super team to get these guys to the next level. Over works our superstars and can't make any mid game adjustments.
Not gonna happen....... The (unexpected) win in game 5 and game 6's effort going to 2x OT will save Bednar.Can we please fire Bednar now? He needs a super team to get these guys to the next level. Over works our superstars and can't make any mid game adjustments.
Keefe?And who exactly do you hire?
The only real play there is somehow coach swap with the Pens and hope it’s just that Sullivan is past his expiration date with the Pens with a roster that isn’t a playoff team anywaysAnd who exactly do you hire?
I don't know how anyone could defend Mikko's effort level this year and the fact that he carried it over into the postseason is simply inexcusable from a guy of his caliber. If that's what he's gonna provide from here on out he needs to be gone this summer.You could tell this series was over the second MacKinnon started pouting while Rants continued with his disappearing act
Coaching change won’t help when the Avs are built the way they’re built. We’re not built like Dallas, 4 defensively responsible lines. We’ve alway been built differently. More reliant on top players and offense. Don’t think that’s gonna change. Even all the years we won the cup, we relied on top two lines and star players. Also we’ve always been a team that relied on offense from the D. We need Landy back or if he’s not back, we need to name a captainBednar is just Marc Crawford all over again.
Crawford game plan: Forsberg and Sakic score goals.
Bednar game plan: MacK and Rants score goals.
Throwing elite players onto the ice for 30 minutes a game isn't a system.
If they want another cup they need a huge roster shakeup (which won't happen). So a coaching change is the only chance.
Absolutely f***ing not lolKeefe?
Sullivan is cooked as a coach.The only real play there is somehow coach swap with the Pens and hope it’s just that Sullivan is past his expiration date with the Pens with a roster that isn’t a playoff team anyways
It seems bleak now, but the glass-half-full guy would say they're getting their captain back, have a chance to infuse the roster with some youth, speed, and skill next season in Behrens, Kovalenko, and potentially Ritchie, they're getting LOC back to help the bottom six tremendously, and Makar can hopefully have a full offseason to heal whatever was nagging him.I just feel a bit lost as a fan, Georgie played solid this series, but I also have no faith in him as a cup winning goalie. I have not trust in Nuke, which sucks as I’m a big fan of what he brings on the ice. I don’t think you can pay Rantanen as a difference maker when he’s progressively demonstrating that he’d rather be a hanger on. We need leadership that MacK will listen to, or we will have to learn to live with pouty MacKinnon. Is Makar even healthy? What do you do with the roster?
It kinda feels like you can see the true contention window closing and you’re just now kind of hoping that everything miraculously goes right for the Avs to have a chance
Keefe?
I don't give a f***. We can't win with Bednar unless you give him a super team. Might as well roll the dice with someone else. Because this core isn't going to win with him anymore. Hell, they might just be done altogether. We'd basically need someone like Ritchie to become a superstar.And who exactly do you hire?
Absolutely f***ing not lol

Obviously things look a bit bleak right now but the offseason could change things.
I don't either lmao, just throwing the only not dinosaur that I knew was availableI don't think Kyle Keefe would make a very good coach.
This is a weird stance to take.I don't give a f***. We can't win with Bednar unless you give him a super team. Might as well roll the dice with someone else.
