Salary Cap: Chris MacFarland - Record as Avalanche GM (Updates In First Post)

[AllAboutAvs]

I don’t really understand the criticism of CMac. Again he’s not perfect and I’ve also criticized him at times, but when you stop and think about how deep the forward group would be if everyone was healthy, I’m not sure how much more could CMac do. It’s not his fault that the team can’t stay healthy. Also with that forward group, we have a solid d core and he just fixed both goaltending positions. This would be our healthy roster…..

Drouin-Mack-Mikko
Lehky-Mitts-Nuke
Landy-Colton-LOC
Wood-Kelly-Kiviranta
Ivan

Toews-Makar
Girard-Manson
de Haan-Malinski
Kylington

Blackwood
Wedgewood

I mean what more can CMac do? That’s a very solid deep roster, specially up front. Again it’s not his fault the team is always injured

I kind of agree with this. Considering the cap situation he inherited IMO he did pretty well so far. The problem has been and might still be drafting. At least now we are starting to hit on bottom-6 players. As for the top rounds players we drafted he at least turned them into very-to-great value. With better drafting we would have better depth. But I agree with @the_fan it is not his fault we have so many injuries all the time.
