Avs Potential Opening Night

Created by: coga16
Team: 2019-20 Colorado Avalanche
Initial Creation Date: Sep. 6, 2019
Published: Sep. 6, 2019
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Questions marks early in the offseason if the D core will be healthy

Johnson is out skating and said hes 100% no restrictions.

Today Cole is out skating after double hip surgery and could his out to December timeout be accelerate enough he starts ready to go to start the season?

This could be a pretty realistic opening night roster for the Avs

Thoughts?

Looks exciting. What about swapping jost and compher and having that 2nd line pure grit plus adding a right shot to the line.

I like the idea of splitting Landy from MacK/Rant, but do you think they'll actually do it?

they did it at the end of last season, having Rants down with Soderberg and Landy with Mack. I think they would do it. The combo of a Landy Kadri 2nd line would be such a beast to match up against other teams top lines

Yeah I think any of Bura, Jost, Compher can slide anywhere in the top 9, I just love the ideas of Pairs

Landy Kadri X
Nichushkin X Donskoi

Last season we saw all sorts of line combos when secondary scoring was low. I think it all depends on who kadri gels good with. Mack is capable of carrying his own line and producing, so whoever works best with kadri, mack will get the left overs on his wing.

Yeah it seems we have a surplus of utility wingers at the moment hopefully someone can pull away this season and we could have a solid 2nd line. It would be nice if Nichuskin can find some junior form and produce a little.

I'd personally like to see nieto in over wilson, just because of skating ability but odds are we won't have 2.6 mil sitting as a healthy for very long.

Avalanche podcast yesterday said they want to feed burakovsky as a shooter because hes got such a good shot. A previous podcast said that caps players could see a difference when bura plays the right side than the left, him being much more successful on the right.

That's why they are going to try jost on 2 LW at the start of the year.

To start anyway, AJ hefele thinks they should continue keep Wilson, jost, compher together after their playoff success and just have pairs like mack-rants, landy-kadri, and so on and just move everyone else around

However he also hates the nisckushin signing because it puts another person ahead of Greer who he thinks earned a shot.. I agree

I don’t hate the idea of that as the 3rd line

Bura mack rants
Landy kadri donskoi
Wilson jost compher

Pretty balanced top 9

They also said the rfas may or may not be signing until Sept 15 when they find out if the league opts out of the CBA

Landy Kadri Bura

that seems like the load up as best as you can offensively option, Avs have a lot of options this season in their top 9, it might not be a lot of know high end offense outside the top 9 but its filled with lots of potential while still being super sound defensively. I think any given night, the match up game is going to be tough for most teams

I heard even though he is skating they still dont expect to have cole healthy enough till December. Skating is one thing right now, hitting is a whole other animal for those hips. No need to rush him back till then looks like Timmons will be given every chance to make the roster and he is looking really good out there this week
