But no team runs a 20 man roster lolIt would work wouldnt it? We would just have to run a 20 man roster the entire time
or what would Ritchie's cap hit be?

Got to be honest, don't know why people are gushing over Edmonton's off-season. Sure it was flashy but they added a bunch of defensively garbage undersized wingers. And traded away arguably one of their better 2 way players in McLeod. And re-signed an aging Henrique.
So basically got worse defensively within their forward group, and didn't improve their actual defense. Hope they enjoy playing 7-6 nail biters every night. Trying to outscore opponents every night usually a recipe for success.
Can't wait for Draisaitl and Skinner to try and slow down 29.
We still need another Center eh. Wonder if Tyler Johnson would sign for like $800k at this point.
I also really, really, really hope to wake up one day in the next few weeks to a Miles Wood trade.
If you look back at the good chunk of Avs possible targets, there's been a lot of wingers that we are hoping could be Cs.People keep mentioning Tyler Johnson for potential 4C as if the guy is still a center. He's not. He's been a RW for years now.
He's also not someone you want in a defensive 4C role.
I think people just have to accept it'll be one of Wagner/Pavel/Ivan/Foudy, whoever wins the battle in camp OR a random PTO we can sign during camp.If you look back at the good chunk of Avs possible targets, there's been a lot of wingers that we are hoping could be Cs.
Yeah, the organization is literally carrying three goaltender contracts in total. So that one they're aware of.Avs also need a 3rd goalie. We're 1 hammy away from a Juice and Miner tandem.
We've seen first hand how hard it is for teams to make consistent deep runs. Avoiding your weak spots to add in places you are already are deep at is questionable.Yeah, they have the same suspect defense and goalie tandem as last year.
Plus by the time playoffs come around, they have... 6 players under 30
Leon - McDavid - Holloway
Broberg - Bouchard
Skinner
Thats it. Couple that with a short off-season since they made the finals, they'll be gassed me thinks.
And I would say the chances Hyman repeats this season, or the Oilers PP repeats are slim.
Mate, where is Kiviranta?
He is a beautiful soul who has absolutely earned his right to be a member of the 2024/25 Colorado Avalanche!
I find it extremely disrespectful and in poor taste for you not to have him in your lineup. We are talking about probably the best 4th liner in the league, every other team could only dream of having Kivi on their roster.
I didn’t think you were such a cold-hearted individual to just chuck a valued and loved member of the roster aside for some shiny new toys!
We have the best roster in the NHL and best players in every single position.
I really expected better from you!

no? I went with the info on capfriendly. afaik they only still need to sign Fairbrother.They don't have 3.5M to work with. In fact, they are more likely going to need to trade someone.
They're gonna bring back Keith Kinkaid.Hopefully this forces them to be proactive and grab a 3rd stringer beforehand

Truth me, it’s par for the course at capfriendlyHe just acquired Crosby without giving up any firsts, Ritchie, or even sending Mitts the other way. Let him cook.
I think we can call this BS because no way Ottawa will make the playoffs with that roster. Ullmark can only do so much and nothing so far has given me the faith that they will make the playoffs, especially with Green as coach.Minny now a better team than the Avs according to advanced stats
Yeah but only if you don't include Nichushkin and Landeskog AND don't use their cap hit for anything. Did you read that part and just choose not include it?Minny now a better team than the Avs according to advanced stats

I disagree. Both Ottawa and Buffalo have the roster to make the playoffs (but that doesn't mean they'll do it).I think we can call this BS because no way Ottawa will make the playoffs with that roster.
Obviously things will change throughout the season but I think we need to come to the realization that this year is going to be tough.Yeah but only if you don't include Nichushkin and Landeskog AND don't use their cap hit for anything. Did you read that part and just choose not include it?
Yeah we got other shitters.Caleb Jones gone
