Yep, I figured that was gonna happen.

We’ll pick it up in a few months like you and I usually do.

Have a good day, friend.

What about David Carle the next coach?

They won't pay him what he'll undoubtedly get once he finally jumps ship to the NHL.

Not unless he waits until Bednar's deal is up, at least. They're paying him a boatload, but no way will they have Bednar on the books AND pay another HC top dollars.

Whatever happened to George Gwozdecky? I remember him kicking absolute ass with the Pioneers and then he just kinda dropped off the map for me personally.

I just remember a lot of folks around here absolutely adored him as Dever's coach.

The Avs are absolutely cheap on boatloads of things. But...they've never shied away from approaching the salary cap max. Hell, even when we sucked we had payrolls much, much larger than they should have been because we were paying fossils like their were still in their prime.

The Avs coughed up damn near 5M per year to keep Bednar.

If...and this is the rub...IF CMac thinks it's the best move, it will be made. I just don't think CMac thinks it's the best move right now as he's still fiddling with the lineup significantly.

Personally, I'm caught in the no-mans land between it being hard to judge someone's work when they haven't been given the proper tools to do the job and wondering if Bednar has been given the tools and just failed to use them properly.
