As an Avs fan, the roster isn't perfect. But it might be fixed by the time the playoffs come round.
There are two important issues that need to be addressed:
1. 3C is still a glaring weakness. Compher is a good 3rd liner but he needs to be moved to RW where he's at his best. Jost doesn't really have the skating to fill that 3C role, so it would ideally be someone from outside the organisation who's brought in (eg. Bonino, Cizikas, Danault, Tierney, Jenner, etc).
2. The team lacks a 3rd goalie, which could be important especially in the playoffs if we suffer injuries again. In 2 of the last 3 playoff seasons we've been down to our 3rd goalie (Hammond in 2018 and Hutchinson in 2020).
Apart from that it's hard to pick holes in this lineup. Hopefully those 2 issues get addressed by the deadline.
