If Podkolzin falls to 16th, the league is retarded. I get the Russian factor, but that would be ridiculous.
You never know, Hughes, Kakko, Byram, Dach, Cozens, after that, things get muddy.
He likes playing in Russia sure, but he also said his dream is to play in NHL, if he falls outside of the top 10, that's just silly. A lot of people have him as the number three prospect, and he's not the typical Russian floater, he's well rounded, with mad grit, he drives the puck to the dirty places, he's got the hands, he's got the shot. Fuck if the league want to let him fall that far, the Avs will take him for sure.
The Russian factor is real.

Klim Kostin 31st overall?

Well if this is Klim Kostin all over again, we'll gladly make the league look like idiots. The Avs are not afraid to pick Russians, they are Caps West like that.

If the Avs got both Byram and Podkolzin, that wouldn't even be fair, I don't think the hockey gods love any team THAT much. If the NHL literally want to try and hand the Avs a Stanley Cup or two, that's certainly one way to do it.

What's next? McDavid is going to demand to be traded to Colorado?

Podkolzin would be an extreme case, none the less, stranger things have happened, specially with Russian factor.

Point being, Avs should be able to get a secondary scorer.

Maybe it's Matthew Boldy

Maybe it's Peyton Krebs.

Maybe it's Trevor Zegras.

Maybe it's Alex Newhook.

Maybe it's Cole Caulfield.

Maybe it's Raphael Lavoie.

Maybe it's Ryan Suzuki.

Maybe it's Arthur Kaliyev

It doesn't have to be Connor McDavid.

Just needs to be a secondary scorer with Jost.




Landeskog - MacKinnon - Rantanen

Player X - Jost - Kaut

Kerfoot- Bowers - Comphfer

4th line - 4th line - 4th line

Byram - Makar

Girard - Timmins

Bottom pair - bottom pair

Grubauer

Backup

St. Louberta is like Dallas. Hungrier. More desperate. Sick of losing. Scratching and clawing with their fingernails.
