Avs should definitely try to pick up more offensive depth; there are guys still looking for jobs, Meyers has 10 games left of waiver exemption and they should use it. Best option, IMO, would be Suter.

I think Nuke has 30G potential but don't think he's selfish enough for 40G. I also think 29 & 96 were way overused last year; best case is a reduction in minutes (& possibly small reduction in pts). CMac did a good job to address weaknesses & they should expect to go all the way!

My thinking with the train having a big goal season is that most of our team are more passers than shooters. Johansen will most likely have three times more assists than goals and Lehkonen is a guy who is good at getting space for his linemates. That could force Nichuschkin to shoot more, you're probably right though.

Definitely agree on the overused part, it changed the way Mackinnon played too. The best part of his game is the quick spurts, which is hard to do playing 24 minutes a night.

I honestly would like another signing or two, as of now we will be relying on some unproven guys to make the roster and provide secondary scoring. Foudy could catch fire with the play style of his linemates like I have above, and then my point is moot.

Cheers to hoping they go all the way!
