Disagree, neither are top 6 players on a decent team, they look okay among the garbage.

Its called having the worst defense in the league behind you.
Three forwards without support are not worth much.
There is a reason why everyone is hoarding good defensemen right now....
And yeah. PTO Bourque and Nieto who just got claimed on waivers are not exactly fine....
Bourque as 1G 2A and -12 in his last 20 games. Sakic needs to trade him fast if we expect to get anything in return.
If the other teams' scouts are watching the game, I would be surprised if there is much interest in some of these vets.

agreed
Nieto is young enough that I don't mind if he remains around for a bottom 6 role. Borque needs to be traded before TDL - along with many others

On the other side of that
And I preface this that I am watching playoff football so ... but for the part of the game I did watch. At the beginning and between commercials, Landeskog looked amazing. Better than he has all season even.
Makes me wonder if he is picking up his play so much because he actually WANTS to be traded, and knows there are rumors and scouts en masse.

Not Great, Bob!
We made Cody Mcleod look like a solid bottom 6 player tonight. I know he'd have been fired up to play us a day after being traded but he looked twice as good, if not more, than over half of our forwards tonight. Maybe the problem isn't the assets we have, but the people controlling the assets and making decisions.

To be fair he was going to play hard all night with an edge and he has a fresh start with a new team.
He wasn't going to play the same way going in and out of the press box with Bednar.

nah, good for cody, he gets to compete for a cup while playing his role (even though I think Nashville is a pretender this year). His heart's still with the avs though.
Landeskog and oddly enough, beauchemin were our positives tonight though

I'm talking w/ AJ, who was in the room and recorded the post-game press conference.
He was pretty sure, and then double-checked the recording, that Bednar said:
"Well, certainly it wasn't because he got dinged up" and he says that's the exact quote.

I'm guessing there was an altercation or Mackinnon did something Bednar didn't like. Not sure how well the tough guy act will wear for Bednar.

He shouldn't be doing the things he's doing. Benching young star players, scratching young players, constantly shuffling the lines game after game, sometimes period after period, and allowing the veterans of the team to coast game after game.
I wouldn't be surprised one bit if the young players on this team tuned him out a while ago
Bednar needs to go... what a ****ing idiot.
That said the Avs didn't do themselves any favors this game, but it sure as heck was one-sided when it comes to officiating.

Not gonna rip on Bednar till I know what exactly happened. Maybe he told Mackinnon not to cuss out his teammates and Mack did. Who knows.
