Ned has been good but if the Killorn goal stands do you look at Mrazek?


What do you mean if it stands?

It looked like you were saying if it counted but it had already been over half a period of playing time since it happened when you posted that lol

Yep. That svech goal was the only thing that made me smile about this game. We fought hard, but just couldn't get the job done. If we want to advance, we have to win 4 of the next 5 (seems pretty tough, right?). Now we'll have to find a way to win on the road.

Right now everyone's talking about how amazing a job Sakic has done for Colorado, but if the Avalanche lose this series, there will be tons of people saying that the Avs need to make big changes and that they're a joke of a franchise and that Sakic should be fired lol

Yep, Sakic was gm in 2013, 2017 Colorado was the worst team in the NHL despite having Mackinnon and Landeskog but did Sakic get fired, No. He trusted the process and continued to draft and tinker and now in 2021 Colorado is arguably one of the best teams in the NHL.

People in Toronto may say trade this do that. Honestly I say trust the process and dont move the core. They are young and will grow. This experience to me is a learning curve and I have a feeling Matthews and Marner are gonna rebound from this.

All in All I am excited to see what comes next as if you thought the leafs offseason last year was fun this year is probs gonna be insane

TML going forward next yr:

Expansion looming (lose 1-player) &
14 players signed & US$65M spent as of tonight.

UFAs (12) - Can't sign Zach for US$4.5-5.5Mil (he gone)
RFAs (1)

No need to trade Math-Marn - cause the "turnover" alone and lack of picks will surely be the same effect as a real trade...

Dubas IS a genius!

He was our 30th overall pick last year, and was almost a point per game player in the AHL. He has great upside to his game

what are you talking about

Dubas has set this team up for a long time

Dubas has drafted

Robertson
Amirov
Sandin
Liligren
and others who are the future.

He made our prospect pool go from 28th to 10th best in the NHL.

As for free agency and the flat cap got no concerns with it.

There will be plenty of bargain bin bottom 6 guys who can make an impact. Look at spezza. Best 700k guy I have seen. Benning could learn a thing or two as bottom 6 guys dont need 5mill contracts. Dubas and Pridham have navigated the cap just fine and do it again next year. Plus some prospects will be graduating giving new motivation to the team
