Thread: Thank you
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>He was the back up with the Marlies....why would you think 4 years removed from respectable numbers that he will be better in the NHL as a back up when he wasnt that great in the AHL s a back up on one of the best AHL teams

Hes not a good goalie guys,sorry but his time has passed. He was a above average back up back then now he is a below average back up. You dont have to burn a roster spot and playing time away from someone for no reason</div></div>

I'm not saying he should back somebody up in the NHL. I'm just trying to reason, that the guy actually put up some decent numbers on a team that's not even near a team like Nashville.

Also, with so many other backups in the show this year, he should probably head to Europe and try out his luck. With his frame and skills he could easily split time with another goalie in SHL, KHL, NLA, Liiga.

Thread: Opening Night Lineup Prediction amp Analysis
Cheers to your very detailed description of the Avs.

I'd like to see Andrighetto on the 2. line as well. That line could be flying out there with all three having some nice wheels to their game.

I really think Girard is going to fire up this season. 15 pounds heavier and hopefully still as agile and with the same level of flair for the game, I really believe that he could be a reliable offensive D, who could play a solid 18-20 min. a game.

I hope to see Kerfoot and Jost level up their game as they gained a full season of experience. I like Jost in the middle with his speed and Kerfoot with his creativity on the wing. Wilson could be usefull with his gritty game and make room for Kerfoot and Jost.

I really like the Avs this year and looking forward to see how everything goes.

For the goaltending part I think Varly is the no.1 go-to guy to start out with. We all know he's prone to injuries, so maybe giving him 45-55 starts and Gruby takes the rest. Would keep both of them healthy through out the season and both of them fresh for PO if that happens.

Thread: No way in hell this is happening but damn this would be interesting
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ON3M4N</b></div><div>After this season (which this mock is) Backes goes from a NMC to a NTC. Even still I imagine that ARZ would be on his list of teams he can't be traded to. I could maybe see them as a middle man though. They'd retaining maybe a few million in cap space for two season and get assets from BOS and Backes final destination.

As for the OP:

Panarin is going to want 9+ million easy, not to mention Boston doesn't seem to be one of his preferred destination. On Donato, at $1.4 mil (depending on how this season goes) its a 1-year deal.</div></div>

Thanks for your comment, appreciate it.

Didn't know about Backes NTC. Thanks! Could be dealt for assets as you recommend.

Panarin is going to ask for big bucks, that's for sure. This was just a goofy play-around-with-the-B's. Where do you see Panarin? Could be fun to see him in Tampa with Kucherov. Would make TBL deal core players though to get him to fit under the current cap.
