If he can get and hold onto Kadri’s place in PP1 and 2nd line center, Rodrigues will easily finish with more than 50 points.

Everyone in our top 6 finished with over 50 last year. That includes Gabe and Val who missed 30 and 20 games, each, respectively.

Also, it’s understated how easy it is to play forward when you’ve got a great defensemen behind you. And this year’s rearguard is healthy (1/6 hungover) and even better than last year.

Look for all of Rodrigues, JTC and Newhook to push for 50 points.

Let’s go!

Yeah, and regarding Nichushkin, he wasn’t established in the top 6 immediately either. One has to think he’s a permanent fixture in the top 6 now. And with that in mind, I wonder if he can reach 80 points (if the top 6 can stay mostly healthy -namely MacKinnon).

WTF happened at 5:45? Kuemper ffs...

Every time I circle back to a Cup run re-watch I am constantly reminded of just how God f***ing awful he was. Both of the blown game 5's are seared into my brain for eternity

Does anyone know the story of why ERod went undrafted?

He was busy eroding something around that time period

Yes. It was mind-blowing how we still won it all with such a crappy goaltending. Master class from our defense.

 

[Spirits]

and we played top end teams during those periods.

And Edmonton.

 

[fiset33]

6 pts in the last 7 games and a key shootout goal in nyr. Hitting his stride?

 

[Balthazar]

Better than expected

I'm guessing ESPN has them? Or did you record it?

Had a rough start (which all new players to the team seem to have with adjusting to Bednar’s system) but he’s been great since.

 

[Richard Doll]

Definitely deserves to be re-signed, if the price is within reason.

 

[McMetal]

Definitely deserves to be re-signed, if the price is within reason.

He's looking for his big UFA payday that he couldn't get last summer. That's why he signed with us, to buff his stats up so he could sign a fat contract that will decline in value over the next ~4 years like all contracts signed at his age.

He's been great through all the injuries but it's probably best to quash any hopes that he's re-signing early. Besides, he disappeared completely the last half of last season with the Pens (which is the reason we got him so cheap in the first place). If he does that again, we'll be able to afford him, but everyone will want him jettisoned into the sun.

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

Give him Mack's contract.

 

[Balthazar]

We're not keeping him

Fits in really well with the Avs' quick transition style of play. I'd argue he's been underutilized as a center up to this point.

 

[Pokecheque]

Love the confidence. He is bound and determined to make that spinorama goal happen this year.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Already priced himself outta here.

He turned down a big contract offer at the beginning of free agency last summer (hence firing his agent) and wasn't supposed to fall on our laps like that. We're so damn lucky to have him this year with the injuries and all.

I was so excited about the prospect of you changing your name for good I didn't even think about the ability to just change the number...
