[avalanche_country]

Wheeler’s prospect thing today on The Athletic must have written a while back - there’s a part that mentions how the points haven’t been there. Sheeeeeeeeeeeit.

Some of the comments below the article were....interesting to say the least. I think some people have a problem differentiate between a drafting and development issue. With that said there are signs that drafting could be turning around.

Arguing that Foudy is not getting a chance is weird to me. He did get a call up and did pretty good with it. I have no doubt he would have got other chances if he would stay healthy. Case in point is his last comeback from injury: he had 4 pts in 6 games putting himself in a good position to be called up and then he gets injured again with reports he will be out 2-3 weeks.

Probably won't seem as weird when you realize that a lot of those article consumers that comment are probably avid listeners/watchers of DNVR.

Yeah you have a point.

2nd in PPG, could be 1st soon if this trend continues. Really promising especially since the competition is playing on stacked lines/teams.

 

[PowerMac]

I think he can progress like Wyatt Johnston

I think he can progress like Wyatt Johnston

Could also progress like McMichael or Tomasino

What sort of things does he think he needs to get better at before he becomes a pro player?

Have Avs management discussed the possibilities for future plans for next year? OHL? NHL?

Ask him if he'd be open to playing in the AHL this year after his OHL season is over, and if he thinks he could play in the NHL next year.

And what he thinks he has to do to earn a contract lol

Would be interesting to know how much the Avs are talking to him (i.e. are they keeping tabs on him? Have they asked him to work on anything in particular?)

 

[Ceremony]

Ask him if he reads HFBoards

 

[John Mandalorian]

If he could give himself a nickname, what would it be?

Who does he think CMac will trade for to be our 2C?

All seriousness, where does he see the most improvement in his own game from last year to this one?

I'm just thinking out loud in your shoes right now: alright we've done all we can do, we've done all the game planning, maybe just…f*** it, we'll go in next year and not think and just win this thing when we don't think that much. Am I on the right path at all with this?

 

[PAZ]

If he thinks his current playstyle can transition to the pro level and if not, what he needs to work on to get there?

hopefully his skating, I'm with Hench here and it is a bit concerning or maybe it just looks that way like he isn't trying

Just ask him how he’s doing… you know outside of hockey.

 

[niwotsblessing]

Q: As part of rehabbing the surgery, what have you done in terms of strength and flexibility training to protect against further injury?

 

[missionAvs]

Ask him if we should trade Rants and fire Bednar.

 

[MaKarter]

Chicken fingers, or bone in?

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Do you prefer listening to Lorna Shore or Slaughter to Prevail to calm down after a game?
