With Erik Johnson likely on his way out the door, it opens up a spot on the right side on a Stanley Cup winning team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Wow, the Avalanche are really going hard to have the smallest defence in the entire NHL. Not sure that is going to help them win another cup... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 A team known for producing quality d-men signs Livingstone and a cup winning team adds Malinski. I hoped we'd get at least one of these chaps. Hirose sounds good on paper, just sucks that our RHD quality plummets after Hronek and Bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what happens when you totally neglect it during drafts. I am hoping they find some gems in the European route because they can't pretend AGAIN that it's adequate. Even for depth purposes. We have Johanssen coming so that's great but man it sucks they didn't draft a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 He signed a PTO with the Colorado Eagles for the rest of this season - allows him to play in the AHL playoffs while he isn't eligible for the NHL playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to mess with a good thing too much (i.e. Hughes steller year) but I wonder if Mgmt would flirt with something like: Gavrikov Hughes OEL Hronek LHD Bear LHD: Wolanin Rathbone Johansson Brisebois Etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is more muscle than what we are acing on our blueline... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Let's all keep in mind that players like Noah Juulsen were getting picked in the first round while guys like Malinski went undrafted once or twice. For every Chris Tanev, there are 10 Brogan Raffertys. I'm happy to see new prospects added to the system, but we shouldn't lose track of the big picture of where guys like Hirose, Livingston, and Malinski fit.

I hope that plan starts with Reinbacher. He won't be an option for years, but I think he greatly helps the prospect pool and gives us a future top 4 RHD. But it still sucks to see us miss on the freebie, more NHL ready RHD options. Reinbacher is anywhere from 2-4 years away from being able to really help us. Livingstone and Malinski should be knocking on the NHL door today, if not, next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johansson was only obtained last summer. He still has to come to North America and prove he can play in the NHL. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
