Quoting: JumboFett
Reason 3. Last 2 years, two 2nd Round exits. What about this team has you convinced that the Avs can go all the way? The Avs need a 2C, Kadri ain't the guy.
If a 2C like Hertl goes on the trade bloc, then there will be competition. All teams overpay during the TDL, because they're competing for depth in a limited market.
If the Avs can't handle VGK what makes y'all think they could handle TBL.
Well 4yrs ago they had a 48pt season, 3yrs ago they made the playoffs, 2yrs ago they beat the #1 seed in the playoffs, last year they went to game 7 in the 2nd round playing their 3rd string goalie and 2 AHL defenseman.
They can’t handle VGK? Goal tending we will give VGK the edge because of the depth but starting goalies It is close. Defense, I’m taking the Avs all day. In a playoff game Makar, Girard or Toews will be on the ice the entire game then oh yeah you still have Graves, Byram, EJ (if healthy), and Timmins. Wing, give that to Vegas.
And then there is center. VGK 3rd and 4th line C Glass and Nosek, COL Some combination between Jost, Compher and PEB you’d expect Glass to be the best of the bunch but right now this is a wash. 2C Kadri vs Stephenson that’s Kadri all day. Then 1C hmm MacKinnon vs Karlsson no bigger gap anywhere in the match ups then this.
So you say COL can’t handle VGK when in actuality it is how is VGK going to contend with COL.
