Thread: Need more than just players
Honestly, I think Avs fans need to give up trying to trade this team to SC contention; it almost never works and is typically extremely wasteful; they have very few assets and need to commit more to drafting and developing well. Is Morgan Frost going to put this team over the top? Adding Mitts by trading Byram? Those options are unlikely to work the way people want them to and it just puts them further behind.

The core still has a lot of years of strong play left but they need to remake the team a bit more organically. Gotta see what's going to happen with Landy, going to have to figure out the G position after next season, probably going to have to shed at least one D (Manson is the most likely to go and he <em>should</em> be the one traded). Ultimately, they're going to have to be patient and work their way back to top contender. I can see it being a situation like Pittsburgh: win a Cup the have to wait several more years to get back to the final but win a few in a row or within a couple years of each other.

I'm pretty much with you. It just doesn't seem like it's the Avs' year for a variety of reasons, some of which (like two key players missing extended time in the assistance program) is outside of team control. We have to be cautious with assets or the team could be in real trouble in a few seasons. But, we're on ACGM, so it's something to do:D Time to turn my attention to making 2024-25 teams, I guess!

(Seriously, though, Avs should take the L and move Ryjo ASAP.)
