hatcher at 6 mil a year is a fare price...he is a top 3 Dman in the league and a top 10 player...what are you talking about man...without a goalie the avs will go nowhere...bottom line...if the playoffs started today the wings would still be the odds on favs without federov...no doubt

when we add DOM and a superstar for cujo watchout...the AVs are a harlem globetrotters gimicek on ice without a goalie...our real competetion is NJ

Morris is already good and he will be better yet and Skoula might explode anytime.

Where’s Colorado’s defense? I mean they’ve never been able to recover from the loss of borque, and ever since then its been through the force of will of Patrick Roy that the Avs have been able to compete. They have Foote and Blake, and are probably gonna lose De Vries to free agency. Their defense sux and so does their goaltending. If they don’t aquire a descent goaltender don’t even count on the Avs making it far in the playoffs. If your lucky they’ll get just far enough for the wings to destroy them. I can’t wait to see lidstrom hatcher schneidder and chelios just stop the Avs in their tracks despite their big name scorers.

it's pretty amazing that a goon like hatcher can command that kind of salary...wings fans, if this is your big offseason acquisition, then it sucks to be you.

i can't wait to see sakic, selanne, forsberg, kariya, hejduk, tanguay etc, etc shred the rest of the NHL, especially the wings.

Yeah, i just saw the same thing on sportsnet.ca... Insane.

Kariya - Forsberg - Selanne

Tanguay - Sakic - Hejduk

Those two lines are going to decimate other teams. Goalie or no, the Avs are suddenly one of the early favorites for next year.

although i have concerns about their goaltending (you MUST keep hope as a wings fan ;-) they sure as hell will be a powerhouse next year.

if lacroix has another trick up his sleeve and gets a good goalie their roster will be friggin frightening to watch

PS

several radio stations out of detroit report that there will be a press conference at 3 about to present another big bang this offseason.

Either the goaltending solution or hatcher signing a contract with a big red wheel on top of it.

nhl.com is posting the same, and there is a news conference scheduled for 3pm.

I'm with you, HOLY SHIT.

Avs are my favourite for next year.

HOLY SHIT.

highly unlikely that the wings would trade within their division, obviously strengthening their new rival in such a way (Joseph is a good goalie after all).
