Avs aren't trading a 1st for a rental, especially not one that doesn't play C

Toffoli is a really nice piece and i could see him returning more than this. However, Colorado won’t be the team trading the first+ (due to reasons that NMAvsFan states above) that probably will be the asking price.

While I don’t think Vitek has been good, I have trouble laying this season’s result on him. Same for Lindy.

We lost two good dmen to free agency, lost our top-pair to injury, lost Hughes, Hischier, Meier, Palat to injury, and two other guys to off-ice matters.

Last year, we were youngest team to make second round in 9 years. This year, if we make playoffs, we would still be youngest team in playoffs.

This is just part of the development. We were not as good as our record last year, are not as bad as our record this year.

I don’t think blame can be laid on one person. I loathe the idea that, “if we just had a different goalie, things would be different”…because another goalie would not have kept Sevo, Dougie, Jack etc in lineup all season.

(Just my two cents…not directed at you, 1995, or the post)

Great player, bad fit. Last thing the Avs need is another wing.
