Thread: whats the deal with formenton
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Logan_Ollivier</b></div><div>It's a huge problem in hockey still. It's so sad when so many will defend people that do this saying, "if she didn't want to be there she could have left" or "it's just some woman wanting money" it's absolutely disgusting. Hockey players and men in general get away with rape way too often. It needs to be stamped out and hard.</div></div>

It's hard watching people who've damaged others through sexual abuse go on to be successful without getting what they deserve. Evidence for a strong legal convictions can be so scarce too. Even if there is evidence, often victims have such a short time to take action while still processing what happened. Sometimes they don't even have it in them to come forward to the police because of how much it messed them up or out of fear or both.

Thread: wondering thoughts of avs fans
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bagelbob</b></div><div>not an avs fan but i feel like the difference between toews and slavin is small enough that it's not worth breaking up a pair that you know works.</div></div>

Agreed, why restart a process when chemistry between Toews and Makar is so perfectly synced. I believe Toews has a better offensive upside than Slavin at over a million lower in cap hit. Not a shot at him, he's an outstanding defenseman and if the Canes win a cup, he'll be a big reason why.

I believe Byram has a higher ceiling than Dobson. Byram also has a strong and growing physical game which I haven't watched Dobson enough to know if he possesses that as well. Again, he has chemistry with the team and he's our homegrown talent. Plus I doubt we add an RHD with Makar and Manson locked in for the top 2 RHD positions.

Thread: List of Cs Potentially Available at the TDL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>assuming similar number to last season, 0.73 pts/game and 55% in the faceoff circle, at 50% retained that's 2,912,500 in cap hit, and you would get an entire season next year at the same 2.9 mil cap hit.</div></div>

2023 1st (late round pick), and a couple prospects or a prospect and Rodrigues if a roster player is required coming back. I feel like everyone else is locked into their main role. After trading away Helleson and Barron plus Newhook and Byram becoming roster players, the prospect cupboard is a lot of Bs and Cs. Olausson is our best, but I wonder how willing the Avs would be to give him up though. I'm thinking guys like Kaut, Behrens, Foudy and Stienburg could be on the move but probably with more value as a couple of them being moved rather than just one. If that doesn't cut it, Avs may dip into the '25 draft pick pool.

Maybe the 2023 1st, Stienburg (point per game centre in 2nd year of NCAA) and Rodrigues (barring some decent production)? Prospect, pick and roster player is often a go to package when I do these.
