If y'all didn't notice, it's a new episode. I think it turned out well, lots of talk on Roy/Bednar.

Thanks Noob Noob
This was the first one I was able to listen to and I enjoyed it. From a technical side, Evan's track was quite a bit quieter than the other two but otherwise it sounded good overall. From a content side, I agree with much of what was said and it was good to hear the different perspectives on some of these things.
One thing I wonder about was, since Sakic benefited from hearing different ideas about what was wrong with the way the Avs played over the last two years and how to fix it, does he share that information verbally or by video/audio of what the other prospect coaches had to say? I think that could be very beneficial to Bednar. Or maybe Sakic just lets Bednar do his own thing.

Thanks! I bet that's more of a for Sakic and I'm sure other members of the FO to keep in mind. Wouldn't really be fair to tell Bednar what they said but maybe when they kick ideas around down the road something could come up in a more non specific manner. More just for Sakic to get a few different perspectives, I'm sure.

Listened to all of it this morning. Always enjoyable. Would have liked to hear about some roster projections for the rookie tournament team though.

I don't think the front office interferes in how the team plays a lot. They hire a coach that plays the way they prefer and let him do his thing.
It's possible there is a dialogue around players types and what fits the system and so on.
When Sakic says that they don't want their defense to play as passive as last year, I assume it's because he knows that is Bednar's style.

I don't know. They hired another defensive coach well before bringing in Bednar so I think it's a problem he could see.

I wouldn't like a guy who took me off the power play for a guy like Comeau after Boedker was brought in either.

Not necessarily any direct quote, but there quite a few (from Chamber's interviews) around the time from preseason to regular season, in which Soderberg really openly criticized the game plan/system.
This could be a more accurate statement.

Oh ok yeah I remembered some of those interviews, was just wondering if he had given an interview lately about Roy and last season.
Good podcast. I think Wiercioch was due to Roy. He probably wanted to add two veteran defensemen this offseason so he wouldn't have to rely on Gelinas/Zadorov/Bigras. I think Roy being gone decreases his chances of playing a major role. I bet Bednar gives the younger guys more of a chance to make it. There are no longer any favorites.
Really? Wiercioch isn't a Roy type player by any means. He's a big softie. I don't think Roy would like him at all.

Haha. Yeah. I don't think we were even a month into a season before he made some comment about them just doing the same thing every game and not really playing well.
Well when you go from the way Boston was playing to what we were doing. Lol, yeah he probably wasn't impressed.
The SEL is known as a pretty structured defensive league as well right?
I don't think Roy picked him personally. I think Roy probably just wanted vets, and Wiercioch/Tyutin is what he got. Roy seems to play favorites with the vets, so if it was close, I'd expect Wiercioch to win. I expect Bednar to be 100% BPA.

Roy wanted a big trade, I don't think he wanted to go out on July 1 and overpay for mediocre either. Bednar might be more open minded to the AHL and was probably told the plan was to play and develop certain kids but he's going to fall in love with certain vets too.

He's 25 and played 200+ NHL games. He a somewhat younger guy but he isn't new to the league.
And they do, but as a guy coming from the AHL, I expect Bednar will be much more willing to deal with Rookie mistakes. Roy didn't put up with much at all. When Zadorov and Rantanen didn't play like NHL regulars from the get go, they were gone, replaced with vets with half the skill.
Core player trade was probably the only way to make room for Radulov. Speculation of course.
