Created by: Pond_Duck
Team: 2020-21 Colorado Avalanche
Initial Creation Date: Jan. 22, 2021
Published: Jan. 22, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Look, Kadri has had an awful start to the season, it showed especially in last nights game.
He played awful.

And for Byram, he played okay. Definitely not going to be as good as Makar. Seem him as maybe a 2nd line d man.

Lol settle down dude. I don't hate him, I like him, I just hate that he can't control his emotions.


again making up nonsense about Kadri on the avs, there is no emotional wreck of a player, or one that cant stop getting in his own way. You are taking leafs playoff Kadri and keep on throwing those blanket statements about how he has played on the avs

Maybe watch avs games and him before you start posting nonsense

Thanks! Next time I will not go full leafs fan and I’ll be less overreactive! It’s just when we lose a game like that to the kings it’s hard not to.
GO AVS!


weird game last night, they took a gamble on a weaker team and got burned, quick keeping the game as close as it was to start easily could have been a blow out in the 1st period
The gambled on starting Miska, ran 7 D 11fwds... imagine there will be some normal lines and D pairings next game

Although it was risky I don’t think Miska was why we lost.
Imo he played pretty well for his first NHL game.
Do I think he is better than Franzouz no he is a taxi squad tender.

he wasn't at all, did what he had to do as a 3rd goalie. Dont mind him sitting on the taxi squad all night.

I did not like Pateryn, he was fine but doesnt offer anything besides just being blah and safe. If Bura is still out next game, go 4 full lines and bring up Kaut, I dont like this 7 D nonsense

Yeah, I think if they get enough work at the 7D it could be really good for the Avalanche. But with Patteryn he played okay I thought. He was good on the PK and okay 5V5. Still think Cole is better, but we will see.

I’d also love to see Kaut in the lineup maybe over Donskoi. Just to switch up the bottom 6. Because besides the 4th line they haven’t been doing anything.

Cole is better but they downgraded for cap space, so they can ride with Byram or other guys on the active roster more. now they can healthy scratch EJ or someone to rest to let both Timmins and Byram play.

Compher Donskoi never worked IMO, they cant be on the same line. I really want to see a Calvert Jost Saad line, I think there is potential there

I think that mixing up the 3rd and 2nd line is a good idea, but the 4th line has been pretty good.
Maybe when Bura is back....

I agree run back Bura Kadri Donskoi line, I think thats the smartest and best way to mix it up once Bura is back without putting everything in a blender

Kadri is a streaky player and in my opinion, a tweener between a 2C and 3C meaning, a really good 3C or a okay 2C.

Byram IMO has been highly overrated especially by some Avs fans. He's going to be good and I wouldn't discredit him from being a potential 1st liner; it's too early to say, but he's not a lock as a first liner like so many think in my opinion. The 2019 draft was a weak draft defensively, had he gone in the 2018 draft, he would be around where Boqvist got picked in the 6 to 10 range and Boqvist, while good, is not a lock for 1st line duties either.

i thought Byram looked good. You have to remember he's only ever played against maybe 19 year olds if they're overage in the WHL. He took a penalty early on because the first guy he had to defend against in his career was kopitar. That's not easy for seasoned defense. After that though he was smooth skating, jumping in the play. When he was out there with the big line they moved the puck effortlessly and he didn't look out of place at all.
But as for Kadri he looks very sluggish to start the season and with burky down that 2nd line has dissappeared. I think it might be time to think about breaking up rants and mack if burky i gonna be out for a while. The 2nd line needs something

I wouldn’t call Byram “overrated”. We have a good idea what he is a gonna be, and he was a previous 4th overall pick so he deserves the hype.

We know he’s not gonna be as good as Makar but he will still be a good defenseman.

Some Avs fans along with some of the media think he's a legit #1, I don't see it. I see first line potential and 2nd line floor. Very similar to Boqvist. 4th would have been around 8th in the 2018 draft since 2019 was very weak defensively and 2018 was strong. No way would he have been picked ahead of Dahlin or Hughes in 2018 for comparison. Makar is the man though and the future #1 so Byram doesn't need to be a #1 anyway.

I think of it like this......
Makar=Batman
Byram=Robin
(In like 3-4 years)

I think that's a good way to look at it for sure. Again, like boqvist though, I think both Byram and BoQie have 1st line potential and a 2nd line floor; it's up to both players to reach their potentials but they aren't a given.

That is true, it’s now on Byram and the Avalanche staff he’s made the NHL and now it’s time for him to stay and excel.

I think Kadri is still a great player for the Av's give it a little time - As Roy would say no one is going to go 56-0 this season.

If he is pointless 20 games in, then ya we got a problem. Big up's on the diving puck slap even if it resulted in icing shows the passion.

Lol that is true, I’m not trying to be a habs/leafs fan, but all I’m saying is just I’m not satisfied with Kadri’s play.


Just wait until he does something really stupid and gets suspended for 15 games.

I did see that play, and I agree it shows he’s trying, and I understand maybe it’s just not clicking for him or he is one step behind. I think he’ll be back to himself after this California road trip.

Byram is gonna be a 2nd pairing d-man? I mean he very well could but watching him play a really solid game last night as a 19 year old defensemen does not indicate a 2nd pairing ceiling to me.

You seem pretty defensive that people are calling you out for your nonsense maybe you need to look in the mirror about chilling out and realize avs fans don’t want to hear your opinions on kadri
