Thread: what lines
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>glaive</b></div><div>Rantanen has 31 goals in 60 games. Scored 55 last season. He can score fine. You want him with guys that can create plays.

Do your research on Trenin because he's not a center. He sucks in the dot and takes like 40 draws a season.

I had the name "what lines" but the site didn't change it.</div></div>

I agree that rants can score, i don't know what thats about. But Trenin will most likely be center, he's not going to be like a go to guy for faceoffs and playing 4th line on colorado ight see 5 draws a game outside the defensive zone. I don't think Colorado is as much concerned with the draws for 4th line center as much as the responsibility of the positon and bringing the edge we haven't had since calvert.

Thread: What Id Do as the Avs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Affectionate_Side_64</b></div><div>RJo is awful dude, has been for awhile. He was literally a cap dump from a non-playoff team that immediately replaced him with ROR. Not only is he terrible offensively, he's worse every where else and incredibly slow. You'd be replacing him with a player who costs more because he's worth more, and because you should be a contending team who has a glaring hole at 2C now and for the distant future. Benning wasn't meant to be an upgrade on Girard, though the difference in cap should offset the difference in RJo and Hertl.

Bumping Byram up to replace Girard rather than limiting him to 3rd pair minutes means your defense may not take much of a hit at all, while your offense gets way better now and for the foreseeable future. Avs would be delusional to decline this given their championship window....</div></div>

RyJo isn’t awful he was miscast as a 1C and overpaid and let’s be honest the Preds made a regime change and they took that unique opportunity to not only move RyJo but buyout Duchene the insanely puzzling thing there was the decision to then sign ROR. RyJo as a true 2C has true potential especial if he is paired with Rantanen because he is a facilitator not a scorer and at a cap hit of $4M you have to do it.

Byram isn’t 3rd pairing and isn’t being blocked by Girard, that’s not ever been the case. COL mixes and matches their whole lineup and the true test of where a guy lies isn’t on paper on a depth chart but in their TOI and Byram’s 21:53 clearly shows he isn’t being blocked but is only being held up by his availability.

As for Hertl that contract is not something the Avs want anything to do with especially considering they are actively trying to re-sign Toews and Rantanen is coming due soon.
