Once playoff spot is secured, Bednar should give prospects more time. I don't care if we end up in the second wild card spot. Home ice doesn't matter.

They do give prospects time though. The issue has been that the Avs organization doesn´t have almost anyone that deserves NHL minutes. Spoonfeading AHLers NHL minutes shouldn´t be the goal for a contender.

Better than the eternal game of monopoly that Siemens has put the organization through. Still waiting for that top 4 D but he seems content on just passing Go at every turn.

This is the face of a guy who picked the go directly to jail card , without passing go .

saw Duncan play in Saskatoon a couple times in his +1 and even me at the age of ~21 years old having played very low level hockey could tell by watching a couple games that dude flat out sucked and was not going anywhere. No clue what those scouts saw.

I thought Duncan was drafted because of his numbers. Which were incredibly inflated by Stefan Elliott.

Wait a second...Stefan Elliott was also billed as our coming savior.

We basically lit a first (Seimens) and second (Stefan) on fire just to watch it ultimately culminate in 21 games of Brandon Gormley.

Has there ever been a time when our amateur scouts were competent? In this millennia or century? They were good in the 90s. They've missed on most everything outside of the top 10 since. Hell, Tyson Jost was taken with #10, so you could even say we even struggle with top 10 picks.

Up until the mid 00s Avs were one of the best drafting teams in the league. For years they were near the top of games in the NHL. Just pre cap, they spent a lot of those prospects to try to win. It just fell apart and aside for 09, they went into a black hole.

Elliott has an amazing release… one of the best I’ve seen at his age. He was just softer than baby shit.
