What do you think? Would you sign Kane to a ~$2 million 1/year deal? My concern is his attitude and whether or not he would be a good fit in locker room. Also, adding him would probably bump one of Lekhonen, Nichuskin or Drouin to the third line.

I have been bad at keeping track of off-season news, so this helped remind me of a few moves. In Sakic we trust.

What do we think? Chatter seems to be has has a good shot at being a solid third line or so contributor with maybe PP2 time if he hits ceiling in North America.

What do we think Avs nation? If he proves to be a top 3C in the league, with some 2C upside, then I think it's a good deal. If he plays up to potential then he could be decent PP2 option, along with 2C replacement if Johansen is ever out with injury.

Hello Avs nation! I'd like to invite 1–2 mature users to join me in moderating this community. If you are interested, please message me on Lemmy to show you can navigate and use the platform reasonably well and comment on this post. Let's make this Avs community great!

Been hearing a lot of chatter (mainly on a few IG pages I follow) about people concerned with the lack of depth with the departure of Jimothy Timothy and Newy and now ERod.

I don't know much about the new signings we have, but I'm not too worried about losing these guys.

Stinks to lose EJ but... Let's face it, the Condor has been on IR more often then not. JT was great, but would disappear for long stretches. Same with ERod.

Newy I had hope for, but he was kind of too small for our bottom 6 and not good enough for our top 6.

Any thoughts? Am I missing anything? Do these new guys stink

Hey gang, time for my first Lemmy post. I lurked the Avs subreddit for years and though I’m from Alaska I’ve been an Avs fan since I was a kid. I look forward to seeing this community grow in the coming months. Go Ass!

Calum Ritchie has good size – (a) 6’2”, right-handed centerman with skill that our guys were really excited about. He played hurt for a chunk of the year, so I think that shows what kind of kid he is. Centermen are hard to get – as we all know – so we’re very excited that he was there at 27.

Mikhail Gulyayev is that electric, skating, puck-moving type D that is made for the game and especially the way we want to play. We were pleasantly surprised to see him there that late in the round.

What do we think Avs nation? Looks like a potential shrewd move to acquire a potential long-term future 2C.

Thoughts Avs nation?

What do we think Avs nation? Like or dislike? Is this an organization restocking the prospect pipeline that has been depleted? Are they consolidating picks to flip for a higher pick or a player(s)? Does it mean another plan is in store for the 3C position? What does 2C look like long-term after Johansen? Thoughts?

It speaks volumes they Cale got the nod despite the injurious last season. Here is to hoping for another Norris-caliber season that can help drive the team to another cup. Avs are so fortunate to have this guy.

Hasn't enough time passed to put a new person in the suit? Bernie is adorable, but Howler was and still is cool. The foot alternate logo is also more unique than the 'C'. My two cents as an old school Avs fan. Thoughts?

What do we think Avaholics? This looks like a solid move to me to address 2C position for a couple years. Perhaps hoping Newhook can continue to progress and grow.
