Quoting: Avsfantrumpetman
Cool. Well, you have proven your point that the Avs suck and we won't contend. Hope that satisfies you.
We've still got a cup win in the past two years (I've said that in at least 4 responses now because it really does affect a fan's perspective) and a track record of reviving careers. It's how we won that cup in the first place.
No, you won the cup because you had a much stronger forward group, not amount of career revival is going to turn RJo, Drouin and Lehkonen into Kadri, Burakovsky and Landeskog. But, your defense is so strong that you COULD contend still if you made a few smart moves. The last time you traded a top 4D it was for a 2C as well.
I'm going to ask you a very simple question and I want you to answer honestly - do you think the roster I proposed above would help your chances of winning over that of your current roster?
Maybe the cup win has affected your view because the answer seems obvious to me.
