Just can’t see the Avs wasting a Richie season playing in the OHL. He’ll have some hiccups along the way as a young player but I think he makes the team full time and ends up being a key piece of the puzzle this season.
I get that Swayman is asking a lot but this situation is Bostons own doing , Neely should be asking his GM why did you get rid of all the leverage by trading the other G before signing Swayman! to me it’s all self-inflicted, let’s be honest if a week after being eliminated they give him a 3 year/22 million or something in that zone, he would of jumped at it! Boston had officially almost 2 months to sign him before the draft , why did they wait ? Cause they took him for granted and thought he’d sign him fast and cheap!
I get what Boston needed to do in theory. They already had $5 million a year in Ullmark, and knowing Swayman was going to want more than that, that's a lot of money tied up in goalies, even for the one season that was left on Ullmarks deal. So they moved him to free up that money for Swayman. I doubt they thought it would go this route when they moved Linus. But it did give Swayman the leverage knowing he's now their only guy. I don't feel like they thought they would get him for cheap. Neely saying the '$64 million reasons I'd be playing' comment proves that. It's a crazy soap opera I'm enjoying from the outside.
Main point I always bring up to people who brag about preseason wins is that the Avs went perfect in preseason once... They put up 48 points that season.
Joe sakic is to the Avs what john Elway is to the broncos. Ill also have to agree that even though forsberg was my favorite player from his era makar who's my favorite player from this era will probably take his place. Either that or expand the rushmore dangit.
Yeah I know you fellas disagree with my approach to this problem, as it's just plain *ignoring* the problem. Just add more faces to the monument, and call it Mount RushEvenMore. What an embarrassment of riches. I can live widdit.
Oliver Kylington should not make this team as a starter, keep him in case of injuries. Sam Malinski deserves the spot. I am over Swayman, he seems too much like a diva, and not about the team.

Here’s hoping
Agree 100%
Positive Vibrations sending Calum's way
Bedard can't control how he is portrayed or glorified...don't be too harsh on the stallion.
@@thekreal8703 Logic would suggest your reply about Bedard was meant to be in response to a different comment, LOL

Gonna have to agree as letting ullmark go made swayman the only game in town for Boston. And I think swayman knows it.

The Mt Rushmore annex lol
The solution is you keep Calum with the team for 9 games , then if he’s not ready you send him to world junior and take that decision after new years!
What do you do if he proves he is ready?
Or hide him under a different name lol

You are on the case Malinski
Landy has been paid $15 million to stay home. Idgaf get on the ice or adjust the contract to a million per yer
NHL contracts cant be adjusted and all money is guaranteed
lol bragging about winning in preseason is like bragging about almost making the playoffs lol no one cares
Swayman is too expensive for cheap MacFarland. Avs losing in preseason, bad omen for season. I said it before, they’ll miss the playoffs.
