Description
Decided to take my AGM shot at a team that is quickly becoming my favourite in the West. Though I am familiar with the Avs, I would not say I am a seasoned vet when it comes to this group as a whole.

The deals I made I thought were fair for all clubs involved, and I thought ultimate both Nylander and Dickerson makes this team better then the sum of the parts leaving (in the case of Newhook, he may very well stay in the NCAA for another 2-3 years).

I tried to round out this team with a little added grit and toughness and I thought that Byram and Gudas could excel as defensive partners, similar to how Cole and Makar did for some/much of this past year.

Anyway, as always, let me know your thoughts. Stay safe.

The Avs are so flush with quality prospects and have player openings that seem like perfect fits for certain UFAs, there was only so much room/space to go around. I think Gudas is a much better fit over Zadorov, for example.

Nylander is a good player, but newhook has only increased in his value since he was drafted and with a 3 year ELC coming eventually when the avs will be in cap crunch it's the kind of thing that turns contenders into favorites..

Also imo zadorov and graves separately are better than gudas

Nichushkin played great for the avs this year and will absolutely be welcomed back on the 3rd/4th line, and the avs also have bowers and kaut ready for promotions to the nhl which would block the Dickinson trade and Clifford and mckegg signings

In all honestly the avs have to do very little in the offseason.
