<\/p>\nDENVER \u2014 Talk of the Town\u2019s been on a brief hiatus, but Denver7’s Lionel Bienvenu and Nick Rothschild return with a lot to discuss in the wake of both the Nuggets and Avalanche crashing out of the playoffs.<\/p>\n
For the Avs, questions are swirling around head coach Jared Bednar. The internet believes it\u2019s time for new leadership. but Rothschild feels differently.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe power play is a mess, that lands on Bednar – ultimately he\u2019s the head coach,\u201d Rothschild said. \u201cAs it relates his ability to lead the team, I think he\u2019s still the right guy for the job.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Nuggets know David Adelman will return as their head coach, but past that it seems like we might be headed for a major roster shake-up. Bienvenu believes the franchise should commit to their core for one more season and bring back one of their rising stars.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think they need to re-sign Peyton Watson, who is [the sort of] player they were missing in the playoffs,\u201d Bienvenu said. \u201cAnd I have to give Aaron Gordon one more year. I know he was injured a lot [last season], but he\u2019s earned his way to one more chance.<\/p>\n
