Sakic isn't super involved, he's not a micro manager. And I doubt CMac is running to him to seek his approval before he makes a move.

CMac is making the decisions, and they have been mostly poor.
Its fine that you might think this, but that doesn't make any of this factual. None of us have a clue how sakic and CMac work together. Stating an opinion as fact doesnt change that this is just a perception of how things work. Sakic could be completely hands on for all we know.

Just a lot of frustration boiling over.

Watching Casey (who I supported in the initial trade) go downhill and confirm that the same deficiencies I attributed to the Sabre system, were actually his own, has left me quite cynical.
I understand the frustration, but Mitts should have some value if CMac decides to trade him. Mitts is still young, and probably not a stylistic fit on the Avs and needs change of scenery. He can go to other team and have a good career

Brunett owns Bednar. As he has since his Minnesota days. So tired of the same outcomes. Avs outshoot the opponent by a wide margin yet lose due to a hot goaltender.

No 2nd line and beyond offensive scoring. Even with Malinski (Malinski??) the Avs D as a 5th scoring line disappears. Goaltender plays a great game but one team D mistake defeats them.

Lets face it. The Avs game scheme has gotten stale and even mediocre coaches know how to beat it.
I wouldn’t go that far. I don’t think the Preds were all that good in this either. The Avs are just not a good team. That’s it. I don’t think Bednar is doing a great job of coaching but no coach would be doing with this roster as it is right now.

Swap him for Cozens. Both teams throw a new dart at the wall, with the Sabres getting a known quantity. It sounded like his deficiencies were a lot less pronounced with the Sabres (but maybe it's because they just sucked for so long).
