Why would canucks take the risk on a guy who can barely play games? Laughable that Avs homers think Bryam is anywhere close to Hughes.
Yeah on second thought, trading a 6th overall pick for Byram is a huge gamble. Reinbacher might be better.

Avs fans overrating Bryam as they did with Girard during the bubble. Hughes is a top 10 Dmen in the league something Bryam likely never becomes.

We've watched Byram win a cup, something Hughes will never win.

As an outside this looks terrible for Colorado. What is going on with Vancouver fans?
This comes off as salty and pathetic. You are aware that Hockey is a team sport and not an individual competition?

Was a decent 3rd, Makar and Toews were the work horses on the back end for the cup win

We Avs fans all think Vancouver should absolutely keep and use their 6th pick in 2023 to draft your next Jake Virtanen.
You’re a Canucks fan too since you spend most your time talking about the Canucks then you do with the Avs. Should I mail you a Boeser jersey?
No. you’ll need your Boeser jersey as he’s going to be a member of your club for another 2.25 seasons.
Y’all really dunked all over me as it relates to Boeser based on how his trade value has played out. Here I’ve been insisting since last season and again this one that he’s negative value and would be difficult to trade. Shows you how poorly I read that situation from the onset.
Congratulations on acquiring all those high picks and/or good prospects for Brock. Ditto Garland and JT Miller.
Vancouver is really positioned well for the excellent and top heavy 2023 draft based on all the extra high picks Detroit acquired.
All we Avs fans get is the Stanley Cup glow with Newhook and Byram’s name on it. It’s quite frustrating.

I know that, that was my point dude, and is my point when it comes to Byram.Let's not pretend that Vancouver fans didn't praise Demko to the moon after the Vegas series. Obviously he has crashed down to earth, but in the year following that playoff series, we had some Canuck fans saying he was already top 10, if not top 5 goalie.
Where would you rate Thatcher Demko among all goalies?
Title. Please also share which goalies you'd take over Demko for this season only!forums.hfboards.com

You know it takes 300 games to judge an NHL caliber dman, yes he looks like a stud, but he could easily come back down to earth with more injuries, playing 73 games over 3 seasons would scare the crap out of any GM.
Every draft you mentioned was fairly weak except the 2015 one, hard to compare 2017 and 2019 to this one though, I get what your saying.
Agree. But His first 100 games are Seider and Sanderson level promising/exciting though. And Seider hasn’t looked as great from games 100-200 as his first 100. So it’s early yet. But good signs for Byram when he’s playing.
The major injuries are concerning but I was much more concerned this past summer than I’m am now. He’s been head injury free since last season. This year, A leg injury from blocking a shot sucks but it’s nothing I’d lose any sleep over as a career threatening incident. There is a very good chance a Vancouver or Avs player will suffer a typical hockey injury like that before March is over. That stuff is just a part of the game we all accept.
His concussion issue hasn’t come back. That’s the best development. He’s playing with a clear mind.
Y’all see Byram dunk on Guhle and the Habs last night? Byram makes several sauce plays every game. Every game he flashes. He’s going to be elite. Dude isn’t available in trade.
Toews is the guy that will be this summer. Why? Because he’s not as good as Byram. And he’s a pending UFA in July 2024

Byram's concussion injuries are severe. I wouldn't count your chickens until the cobwebs have cleared 100%. I think Pezetta hugged him because he didn't want to send him into lala land last night.
Pezetta hugged him because he likely wants to leave the game on his feet and not in an ambulance. He’d get targeted and demolished if he had thrown down there.Byram's concussion injuries are severe.

I’m not sure Guhle gets over that anytime soon. That kid is a bit overrated. He’s going to spend a ton of time in the box with such a reckless stick. -3. He and Savard don’t make a top pair.

I don't think the Canucks will draft in the top 10, but I also don't think they keep the pick even if it was in the top 10. Management clearly wants to retool and they will trade the pick for a mid 20 year old dman who wont be better than Reinbacher in 2-3 years
Guhle has been one of the lone bright lights for the Habs. A bonafide stud in the making with a solid head to him. If Pezetta dropped Byram, there is nothing the Avs could have done. I think he knew Byram's condition and took pity on him. You guys must wince every time Byram takes a hit eh?

Concussions are obviously a red flag but what's a bigger indicator is how a player comes back from one. Some players completely change their game and that's when concussion becomes a problem. Byram didn't lose that confidence, he's actually worked on his game while in recovering.
Byram played the most even-strength minutes on the team.
Toews was not his best during the Cup run, honestly.
After having gone through the TImmins concussion concerns, i am sure the Avs are gonna be extra careful with Byram and help him manage his game. I also think Byram needs to change things up a tad as he is very very prone. Its less of a confidence issue and more of a protection concern. Putting hockey aside, these guys are human beings and they care about maximizing their future.
