It's amazing what having NHL goaltending looks like, and not just decent but really darn good goaltending. Blackwood is raising up my list of favorite Avs goalies really quick
Problem is macfarland keeps digging himself a hole with our cap space. Every trade or move he makes, wi ds up costing us more in the long run. Yeah, we signed mitts, kept toews, sig Ed Blackwell, but all that just gets us farther from extending Miklos. U less they can cut someone (hopefully girard) they won't have the money.
deferring money is just a good retirement plan , cause yea your only getting paid to play , why not make it so u got money coming in when you retire , thats pretty smart
If the problem is tv viewership, who in the world cares how many people you can put in stands at the winter classic? Right now it’s such an awkward jam to shove it in a massive nfl or baseball stadium with people sitting a hundred yards from the ice.
I think it’s a sign that the avs are a contender…I understand the players needing to stick to the company line of, “that’s our guy” and “he’s not the problem” (gieorgiev) but in reality, he was, and goaltending in general. they couldn’t confidently go out and play their fast paced game, knowing that they couldn’t count on him to make routine and timely saves. Now, they have goalies that they can trust. Which is huge for cutting lose superstars like mackinnon, rantanen, and makar. And when those guys are loose and flowing, there isn’t more of a dominant 3 in the league!
Macfarland keeps paying big money to guys that aren't worth it. Namely, girard, Colton, toews and mitts. He's a crap gm. Honestly wouldn't doubt it if we lose rantanan.
lol the cost to put a rink on alcatraz would be insane lmao like 10-20 million for one game lol never ever gonna happen ,putting outdoor games in tropical climates is costly as it is , now add it having to pack,boat and airdrop all the equipment to keep the ice cold lol most of those would be cool ideas for the playstation game lol central park and lake louise are the only 2 i could see happening and they would be sweet ,lake louise is amazing f not there some place in jasper would be a hit ,would help with he recovery of the town aswell
mikko could take less and defer money and or take less and do bonus' goals and apples ,200-400k per 20 a piece he could sign for 11 mil and do that and if he keeps this up would make more like that ,either way it better be the full 8 years i want him to retire in an avs jersey

There has to be an intersection of interesting teams, great location, and some level of attendance.
Do whatever it takes to keep Mikko, please 🙏

The Avs doesn't want anyone to get pay more than Macca $12.6m and Mikko want $14m it going to be a problem.
Toews gave the hat to parsinnen after the panthers game

NHL already has good pensions. The earlier you can get your money, the sooner you can get it working for you.

I think Blackwood is just happy to be on a winning pedigree team and was happy to take three deal because if the chances of Stanley cups
Avs vs UHC at Zeckendorf Plaza, downtown?
Would require time travel.
Never mind.
Guy won a cup, he deserves his due.
The Avs doesn't have enough cap space Mikko want $14m
i think shaggy wants a glow in the dark game in the vegas sphere lol

Deferred money doesn't seem like a COL thing. This FO tends to stay conservative on contracts. Ultimately, it depends on Mikko, so we'll see...

That wasnt playoff Panthers. We’ll see as we get closer to the playoffs what Avs got.
it wasnt playoffs avs either . we have had 5-6 guys out of the line up all year long .
Thx capt obvious
@pstandlee Was the Panthers that got beat 7-5 also not the playoff Panthers?
@@soulknife20 probably not
But yet Bednar gets no love for coaching the most injured team and started the season with goalies that couldn't stop a beachball
I want to see an NHL game on an aircraft carrier. Preferably while moving...
Make it happen Gary

Vegas is on a huge heater please dont shit talk them, i dont want you showing up in clips 😂

Bonuses don't help because they are charged against the cap in the following season.
Not gonna happen for Mikko because for sure he moves back to Finland where he’d pay huge taxes.
Is Makar on pace for 100 points? If Hughes is hurt Cale deserves to bring the Norris home
Go Celtics, beating the nuggets in Ball Arena 😈
Cale is deserving regardless of Hughes injury status
Cale should legitimately be in hart conversations. Unfortunately mackinnon is the greates barrier to that 😂
@@LockedOnAvalanche many NHLers who are not Avalanche fans believe otherwise.
Mikko will walk. He wants to much
Buy out Girard. Now you have the 5 mill for Miklos exte sion. Team doesn't miss a beat.
