There’s no way the NHL will allow him to play in the playoffs if he’s deemed healthy and good to go in the regular season

I want the Avs to play some of their younger guys. Like bring Foudy in. Give Olausson a look. See what Behrens can do. But you seem to have the same thoughts as I do with the Avs. And know that they will probably keep plugging the bottom pair with cheap vets and try and run it back. Guys like JJ, Wagner, and Cogs. I like those guys. But I really wish the avs would have a longer leash for younger guys. Really give Foudy a shot this year. We'll see. But I can see a lineup really similar to this, plugging holes with cheap vets.

Let go of Johnson and Cogliano

They didn't do jack about Stone...

Don't love JJ returning as he showed his age but Cogs being scratched and coming in for 30-40 games is doable.

He literally had a ruptured spleen or whatever. I’m skeptical too but that’s just lucky timing for them

Exactly my thoughts. I think Malinski gets his full season debut. Behrens floats up a few times is my guess. I hope Foudy does as well!! He's showed signs.

Fine.. Nuke can have a ruptured spleen too

I suppose. But you can get the same production from one of your young guys that you’re getting out of Cogs while getting them valuable experience.
