Sujet: Gaudreau
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMs</b></div><div>I hate this comment, ‘’ they are better served long-term ... ‘’ Gaudreau makes them better right away, and big time. The question is : does he fits ? They didn’t trade all their prospect, they lose 2 excellent ones, but they get a top LW in the league</div></div>
Trading for Gaudreau basically makes Colorado's window a 2 year window, as after that they would lose 2/3 of their 2nd line (Gaudreau and Kadri) to UFA, with no replacement. They'd also have no one to replace Johnson as the 2nd pair RHD either. But by keeping Newhook and Timmins they have a perfect succession plan at every position that can allow the team to be a contender for 5+ years instead of just 2. There should also be better ways of acquiring a top 6 forward this offseason due to the flat cap than to trade three grade A assets.

As for Gaudreau, Avs got to see first-hand how easy it is to design a gameplan around stopping Gaudreau in the playoffs. Pass.

Sujet: No move for defense on TDL playoff roster - just Ceci out and backup in
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SammyT_51</b></div><div>Thats a pretty good defense. our issue against bruins was getting the pucks out on both sides equally great (Boston scored a lot from our right side (no **** they had Hainsey and Zaitsev most of the time there..).</div></div>

And this year it will be Barry and Holl.

Sry, i read quite a few of your Team Explanations and agreed with you in most of times, but if you think this D is sufficient to even make the Playoffs.....im not. Maybe im biased cause being between pipes for 25 years, so im looking on the thing from that perspective mostly but that D wouldnt give me confidence.

Even better Backup wont help unless you stop shooting exercises by opponent Teams and breakaways that current "Keefe Wizardy" is creating with kamikaze rushing ahead....

2019 /2020 D description

Rielly - two-way winger playing D
Barrie - two-way winger playing D
Dermott - No.5 D man with the upside to become bottom of the pool of No.4 D ( will demand 2,5M + )
Holl - No.5 D man ( 2M ???!!! )
Sandin - kid is on the good way to become top of the pool No.3 D, still his upside is offensive game and not the game in his own end

and finally the Old Man Muzzin ( No.2 D middle of the pool ) playing D almost all by himself with what i mean he does the things in his own zone that Ds should and play, he looks weared off? ofc he does, double shifts and working D things out without a puck takes its toll.....

yet now it shows, despite we b.tched about him all those years, how many work Hainsey was doing to make Rielly look decent as D

2018 / 2019 comparison

Rielly = Rielly
Gardiner = Barrie
Zaitsev &gt; Holl
Hainsey &gt; Ceci.............working his ass off to cover the flaws of Wingers playing as D, ofc his age and fatigue couldnt sustain double work on ice....
Dermott = Dermott

and ofc half of the Season working horse Muzzin again.....
