I think Frank should start the next game in goal.

I know everyone thinks the top line simply sucks tonight but that’s just being ignorant to the Wheeler line. Yeah Mac and Co have looked bad but a large reason is that Wheeler’s line have just been dominant. That leads to Mackinnon getting frustrated and trying to force plays and everything just multiplies.
Jack Hughes and Kappo Kakko are both in sight though.
I know I'm in the minority here and that's fine. But I certainly feel like pretty much all of our problems would be solved going forward with 2 Top 5 picks in next years draft. Get the 2C we need in either Hughes or Cozens/Dach, and then grab an elite winger to pair with the Center in Kakko or Podkolzin.
Toss in Makar joining the back end.... It's the reason I'm not terribly upset if we do poorly this year. Obviously the hope is playoffs but if not this team still has an incredibly bright future with a lot of high end young talent on it.

One of the more frustrating games this season. Jets have been the better team but the Avs also just can't take advantage of their opportunities and get out of their own way. At least EJ and Jost have scored.

Someone needs to coach these players how to be in position for rebounds like ever or sometimes, and not never.
I'm a fan of Dries, he's very quick and a hard worker. Could make a great long term 4th liner assuming he continues to get better and learn.

Ill say it again. Tampa Bay stole our soul. We have not been the same team since that emotional game.

Definetely. Varlamov had a very poor third period against Calgary, a mediocre game against Nashville (and let in that really poor second goal), and has been fairly unimpressive tonight.
But at the end of the day none of this is too surprising. Top line was pretty bad tonight. But the depth on this club is bottom 5 worthy. Might even be bottom 3.

I know the game is over and it means nothing, but that Dano offside should be the final straw in him ever being part of this team again. Waive him.

We're not bad enough to have a good chance at a top 5 pick. Unless we get a ton of lottery luck, we're 10-15 while struggling to make the playoffs.

Didnt see the game but that's what, 5 in a row now? Not saying there should be a panic trade but something is wrong with the team now and something needs to change.

If this continues I dont know what to say, go for that killer draft with 2 top picks and make a coaching change. Quenneville is out there, probably not for long though.
This team forgot how to play hockey after having to sit out for few days, that's on coaches to make sure they ready to play no matter what. Long breaks shouldn't make the team be this bad.
