Most of his points came in the second half...that is still eyepopping...like I said you cant just say hes better than 1 guy after the first year of his pro career while the other hasn't started it..you might be able to make that claim next year when you can compare apples to apples but right now you are just saying I like my guy better than your guy bc hes on my team

There is no evidence to back up your claim

Your guy was on my team as well. So I followed him even after he was traded. I didn't just do a quick stats search like you apparently did on Abromov.

I'm telling you Girard and the 4OA are the key piece in the deal. Bowers is secondary.

Columbus fans didnt flinch at giving up Abromov bc hes not even one of their top 5 prospects either...so whats your point. You are acting like hes special now when CBJ fans are sayign the exact same thing youa re saying about Bowers.

You might have to take your homer glasses off a bit on this one. I am not saying Bowers is a stud, but you are trying to act like hes meaningless and a lesser asset compared to Abromov with absolutely nothing to back that up

Nice try buddy.

so an article written before the season started and him playing in the AHL and seeing him struggle. Aug 8th 2018 vs February 2019 would be quite the change in their org rankings. Not trying its just what was said on twitter and these forums when that trade went down. Might have to check the time stamps next time and just not google an old out of date article to back up a claim that is almost a full pro season later

hahaahhahahahah you're treading water.

so no response, and deflecting? Yeah you dont have an actual hockey rebuttal that you might be in the wrong here. A NHL.com writter who isnt a prospect expert, writes something in august that is out of date to what was said 8 months later that CBJ fans rank their prospects afterwards. Sure im treading water....

In January 2019 guys had him already at 4.... so we can easily play this game but you dont have a good response to this just claim to your old out of date cherry picking article

You said: hes not even one of their top 5 prospects either...so whats your point


Your Article has him in the top 5 organizational prospects (4, and 2nd best foward). You're just reinforcing my point and proving that you were just talking out of you A** and being hypocritical earlier.

Scott Wheeler contributor to the Athletic had him at #2 in Feb.

I said that CBJ fans were claiming he wasnt even one of their top 5 prospects...I have no skin in this game...just saying how CBJ fans claiming he wasnt one of their top prospects so its no big lose just like how you are claiming Bowers wasnt one of the Sens so who cares.

I am not being a hypocrite , I am point out how you are being a hypocrite on this one.

I heard different from the few CBJ fans I know.

Anyways, it doesn't really matter. IDK why we're even arguing about this. On my first comment (when I said it was a wash), I said that gaining Abramov washed up giving up Bowers. So you can settle down now.

AND The whole point of this AGM is too call out all the AVs AGM who had them picking Hughes 1OA. Including 3/4 of your AGM teams. Like seriously, the number of times I've seen you on here arguing that you'd rather have 18.5% than pretty much anything else is pretty laughable especially now that we have the results. Goes to show that 18.5 is far from an automatic.

Avs are a playoff team and still get a Top 4 pick bc of the Sens...you arent making fun or riling up any Avs fans here. Sens are still a mickey mouse run organization with no hope in sight bc of how toxic their owner is. Avs are more than happy with all the assets they got from that trade and have made back to back playoffs bc of it

"Playoff team"

Because of the broken playoff format. A team finishing 17 out 31 shouldn't make the playoff, but that's another conversation for another time

They were 8th in the West as well, this format, old format, still a playoff team. Was the old system broken too or are you going to claim avs are not a playoff team in a new playoff system that you havent made up yet

Montreal got to beat up on soup cans like Ottawa, Detroit, and Sabres 4-5 times a year. Not going to feel bad for them that they missed the playoff yet playing in the weakest division in the league

Yeah, also soup cans like Tampa, Boston, Toronto, Washington,

you are trying to hard its hilarious. Make a claim that Avs only made it bc of a broken playoff format....would still make it under the old one...Oh well yeah Montreal had good teams in their division too...FYI Wsh isn in their division, but you should know what teams play in the Sens division right

And Avs had Nashville, Blues, Jets, Stars all playoff teams ontop of the Avs, and the weak guys in the division were the wild and hawks yet still being over 80 point teams .

Keep trying though

bruh

Trying what?

deflecting everytime your points fall apart....moving the goal posts bc you made a incorrect statement

Did you know that wild card applies to both divisions in the conference?

Yeah and the pacific 4th place team wasnt good enough to get a WC spot. The Yotes had 86 points...Avs had 90 and Stars had 93. And surprise surprise even in the old system they would be ranked Stars 7th, Avs, 8th, and Yotes 9th missing the playoffs.

What is your point here...old system new system Avs are still a playoff team and more to the point your claim only bc of a broken system has 0 substance to it

The whole point of fixing the broken format isn't going to back to old broken formats.

And avs made the playoffs in the new and old. To claim USA s broken system just bc the avs made it, being a top 8 team in the conference. In your fantasy world the only way avs don’t make the playoffs bc of your broken system is to get rid of conferences

Sorry bud but you are grasping at straws here trying so hard to discredit the avs making the playoffs

Exactly!! 1-16 playoff format would be the fairest
