Yes, it was a great marriage on that line when he was in there with Mac.I had forgotten how many of his goals were off MacKinnon passes. That makes me want to see them play together next season.

I do wonder if the high octane line of Mac, Burk and Rant with a second big line of Gabe, Kadri and Saad would be best.

I was an advocate for Saad as a possibility. So much versatility. The two way game can compliment any line. And, like Burakovsky, he can also play both wings. Saad isn’t the best finisher though.
Sure, but the themes I see on here every day are always "Every dollar not spent under the cap in a contending year is wasted" and "the team is X million below the cap, we could be so much better if we spent that money" just don't hold water after the Avs spent a season being Cup favorites despite being way under the cap.
Don't worry, this is the year that one or both of Jost and JTC will step up. Or maybe next year, or the year after.Leaving the 3C hole didn't sit well with me.
Bold claim sir.4th best top 6 player with a 9 on his uniform at this point.
Donna is the best
Our offense needs Burakovsky. He's more vital to it than I have thought.
If an injury to Burakovsky is all it takes to throw our entire bottom 9 out of sync to the point that they are completely dysfunctional, then we have a serious problem.Ya the depth is definitely missing him.
Not necessarily Bura himself that's missing, but we're missing that role he fills. He was sort of the go to sniper and the main secondary production player after the top line.
Without him, guys are having to move one spot further up in the roster and for some guys it is putting them into roles they just aren't capable of filling.
He should be back here very soon which will help us a lot moving forward.

If Donskoi/Nichuskin/Saad aren't capable of filling in on the 2nd line then perhaps we should be looking at making a change/addition via trade.
