ajs510 122 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Not on the strength of two additions, sorry. I'm not sold on Budaj as a #1 goalie by any stretch, and the Avs still can't field more than two viable scoring lines (though they're close). They got a lot better with the additions of Hannan and Smyth, don't get me wrong, but wrapping up the Northwest Division (with Vancouver, Calgary and Minny teams that haven't gotten much worse) in the preseason is too much of a stretch.

WestcoastCanuck 0 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I thought the Avs had a decent shot at it before these signings. The only question mark is still in goal. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, but I was gonna make a thread like this eventually....as for the goaltending issues, Budaj improved 100%+ last seaon and is still getting better Link to post Share on other sites

Theodore could still beat him out for the starting job in camp, and there will be a lot of pressure to get the guy making 5x the money at least a majority of the starts. I like the moves that Colorado has made a lot, but I'm still not sold on their return to the playoffs, much less their return to the top 3 seedings. Link to post Share on other sites

No one wants a $5.5 million goalie that isn't even a starter on a non-playoff team (sorry). Link to post Share on other sites
