How was Redmond?

trade 3rd for ekblad. hanifin is overrated

Calling a player you've never seen overrated? Where is the logic in that?

 

[Freudian]

Can we please create a thread for the "lets draft Hanifin/McDavid/Eichel" idiocy? We're still in October and it's already old.

How was Redmond?

He played fine. Like most of the Avs team he struggled with Jets intensity at times but apart from one or two turnovers, there were no big problems with Redmond's play.

 

[Frenchy]

How was Redmond?

pretty good , one of the few Dman who can make a good first pass .
We should keep him in the lineup for sure .

I agree, can we keep it out of the GDT. If people want to discuss the possibility then start a thread for it.

on a positive note we're only 5 points away from the top. a few loss from the avs and a few wins from carolina and buffalo would get us up there in no time.

 

[agentblack]

Yeah def. new annoying HF thing is to say draft "insert guys names you have never seen play" just because your team lost ONE game.

Last year it felt like Avs were the ones carrying play in OT and it was only a matter of time until they were going to score. This year Avs are not having the puck a lot and when they do, it's one and done and play goes the other way.

I still get the feeling that the team bought the idea that they're awesome and they're a little bit confused why it's not easy to play. They show flashes but that's not enough. They need to go on a run in the coming month to not have ****ed the season away by late November.

 

[Frenchy]

We were almost always second on the puck , chassing the Jets players all game long . I dont think any players would have help us , the way we played tonight .

 

[Avsboy]

This team's success depends on Mackinnon. He has to play better.

 

[AslanRH]

They don't need multiple pieces, they need good pieces. One good player or prospect could make the difference, not a slew of prospects and ok players.

Agree to disagree I guess. (Avs won't draft that high anyway, but I was just hypothesizing if this were to continue).

They have a slew of ok players now and very few open roster spots for next year. They also won't be able to get a good piece for the "ok" players that will be clogging up the roster.

It's a good draft, and getting multiple pieces to move down some picks wouldn't be the worst thing IMO.

FO showed it felt this team was more than 1 good player away even though they were actually good last season. I doubt they have changed their minds much after the start this season.

No update on EJ from Roy.

I've seen him twice and was nothing special either time.


for the avs we need to get a big body for the 3rd line or someone who plays big.

matt martin would be perfect

he has to play more

Martin is not a 3rd line guy at all. He wouldn't help much.

lol me too.

 

[tigervixxxen]

This. He's never going to get it going with that little ice time.

Mackinnon, Lando and O'Reily , they are part of our top six and all 3 needs to step up on their A game , not just Mackinnon.

Is he NHL caliber ? I never saw him play . Words arround are that he's having off skills , but can he play good defense ?

 

[tigervixxxen]

#FreeNoreau

That's my bet if there's a call up.

He's been the monsters best defenseman IMO

 

[Pokecheque]

Winnipeg played an extremely hard fought game. You're not giving them enough credit.

It was still a pathetic effort. There's a reason Winnipeg gets dominated by nearly everyone else except Colorado, and it's not because the Jets suddenly turn it on when they see guys dressed in burgundy.

Avs played a slow, pensive game throughout and tried to force stuff that wasn't there all game long. They also hardly challenged Pavelec at all.

 

[22FUTON9]

Buff just dominated us this game.

and damn landys wasting a lot of scoring chances. Not just todays game but I've seen it numerous times this season where Mackinnon makes a quick pass to Landy in front of the net just for him to whiff on it or shoot wide. I know it's sometimes around his feet and stuff but damn I wish he scores on one of those. Mackinnon isn't playing good but Landy's playing worse. Hope he turns it around soon.
