Sounds about right lol. Cal is obviously great, Gulyayev is promising and Nabokov hopefully can be our G of the future, but we have absolutely nothing past that. Such is life for a team in the middle of their cup window, fuck them picks
We’ve sold pretty much everyone of value that didn’t get drafted this year so that checks out. Such is the way of things
1. Calum Ritchie
2. Mikhail Gulyayev
3. Ilya Nabokov
Yeah that’s the price of getting a cup and still having an open window 3 seasons later
I mean we’re still contenders and have a long-lasting core. I’m not worried about our pipeline until like 2027-28. If we can’t start developing a pipeline by then, then I’ll have concerns.
I mean, checks out. Hopefully they can do a light rebuild on the fly but this core is still very young and is at its prime.
Yah well we won a cup recently
Damn, who’s 32?
Honestly, I am OK with this. The Avalanche historically are awful at drafting outside of the top 16. If we go back to the 2013 draft, the only players to play more than 40 games at the NHL level in a season drafted outside of the top 16 are Will Butcher, AJ Greer, Justin Barron, and Nils Aman. All of who have one season of more than 40 games.
Given our draft record, if we aren’t getting a top 16 pick, makes much more sense to trade for established NHL players.
Ivan Ivan will be a diamond in the rough, with a name like that he’s bound to see time in the NHL.
