I have to get caught up on this thread, and I'll do that later, but without having read any posts here since the game ended, I'm guessing there are people saying Colorado needs to make big changes in the offseason ...

Ahhh yes, noted cup contenders, the Toronto Maple Leafs. Way better than those stupid Colorado bums.

Personally, I like the oldest team vs youngest team story line the best.

D-miscues mostly by Girard (he's a player otherwise) & Nemeth (uggg).

You lose, usually changes are paramount:
Lots of UFA notables: Landeskog, Saad, Bellemare, 'Carl', Nemeth, Grub.
RFAs - Jost, Sherwood, Timmons, MAKAR.

18 NHL contracts now.
US$16.7M left for the next 5 NHLers (US$3.34M avg)

I dont see why this series loss would change their offseason plan very much. They outplayed Vegas in games 5 and 6 and lost because VGK capitalized on the chances they got. Imo those games couldve easily tipped in COLs favour and the roles could be reversed. Plus Vegas is a great team, theres no shame in losing to that. Id stick with the same offseason plan most Avs fans on this site have (lose Graves to SEA, sign Landeskog, Grubauer, & Makar, and possibly Saad if theres enough room or maybe make room by moving Compher, then use some kids and maybe some depth UFA signings to fill out the roster)

Avs D was very young and inexperienced and it showed. Graves, Nemeth, and Girard all made poor defensive plays at key moments in this series. But Cale Maker has solidified his position as the #1 D in the league right now. His defensive play incredible.

the question becomes do they keep Kadri

Now people know why the leafs traded him and it seems his honeymoon period is over in Colorado as he went back to getting suspended in the playoffs again.

I think so. It wouldnt be ideal to rely on Newhook to immediately become the 2C on a playoff team. Kadri only has 1 year left and has a pretty cheap cap hit, the only teams that would be interested in him would be other contenders so the only type of move that would make sense for both teams would be a rental for rental swap to get another 2C in return. I dont see a fit for that type of move

They clearly need to add a veteran defenseman or two. They needed some stability and pushback on that 2nd pair all series and Vegas wore them down.

When I read moli's glowing AVS post I thought of your similar Leaf posts - "two peas in a pod!"

except the Avs stars were all at/over a point per game. Its still a disappointing end but losing a close series to the 2nd ranked team while youre missing your 2C isnt a reason to blow up the team. Keep as much depth as possible, bring in the highly touted prospects, make some adjustments to improve and try again next year. Look at WSH from '15-'17, not every team needs to make massive changes, especially when the series have all been so close

Why does this sounds exactly like the leafs except for the stars part.

Now that the avs are out I expect to see many ACGM from rangers fans offering kravtsov , strome , and a 2nd for mackinnon.
