Dude... I spotted. You didn't have to go and tell the mods about it.

Wait he's a mod?!

Damn fun night, eh?

What a great game. I like this Nelson guy. He's almost as old as Bo Nix

Now resign Big Cock Brock

Really hope they sign Nelson, even if the end of the contract ages poorly . If you are all in , be all in .

This organization is going to be in cap hell with no assets in 12-24 months. Might as well give him the 4-5 years he wants and enjoy as much as we can get.

Exactly . Lack of assets might just force management to do that anyway like you said

Curious who you would have targeted instead to resolve the hole at 2C?

Again, Avs would have a better idea than I would on these players who are realistically available.

My dream player would be Adam Lowry. I get it, he's a 3rd line centre, but I am a huge fan to the point I would play him as a 2nd liner (I think he has the talent and the game to be a top 6er). Nonetheless, no way is he available except if the Jets decide to rebuild...which they have no plan to whatsoever.

Others I would have wanted are (not worrying about any cap restrictions):
- Byfield (Taken the risk of him becoming a centre)
- JT Miller (Gets a lot of hate, but still a damn good player)
- A. Protas
- I. Protas
- Mercer
- B. Jenner
- Trocheck
- Pinto (He's a bit underrated, I think he has more to show - missed an entire TC)
- Kasper
- Nazar
- McTavish
- Zacha
- M. Hage

I should say none of this matters now, Nelson is our #2 centre, so I will get behind him and hope he does extremely well for us!

All we got to do is find a property with a log cabin and an abandoned silver mine and he's ours for 4 more years.

I can think of about 300 towns like that within 60 miles of Denver lol

One thing I loved about his debut is his IQ to find the soft spots of the defence. He seems to know where to go and when to slow his game down.

There’s a lot to like about his game. Nichushkin seems revitalized with him at C.
