Avs sign Chuck Kobasew. Far cry from Gagne. Hope we aren't done. |

So there are still some good players out there. Jason Arnott, Simon Gagne, Scott Hannan, Brad Richards, Teemu Selanne, etc. |

So there's a few small rumblings of the Avs trying to sign Stamkos and/or another depth d-man or winger. I highly doubt both of those rumours.. it's gonna be a looooong three months. |

Stamkos and Hannan would be insanely awesome. |

Well, this is more of a Bruins update, but whatever, this may as well be the NHL offseason thread. Kaberle got a deal with Carolina averaging $4.25 million per year over three years, which I think is more than the Bruins were willing to pay. So, they went out and traded a fourth round draft pick for Joe Corvo, a defenseman who had 40 points last year and is slated to bungholify $2.5 million next year, not a bad player to get for a fourth rounder. |

Awesome. |

A few news tidbits: Avs officially signed both Lando And Siemens to 3-year deals. Signing Siemer so soon is a bit surprising, but so long as he's called up to play a max of 9 games this year, all three years on the contact will carry over to the 2012-2013 season. A bit of news on the injury front, as Mueller is skating with teammates and looks to finally be about 100%. Let's hope he can return to form. Speaking of injuries, Varly is off in Pennsylvania working his ass off to prevent any more. Apparently he's working with world-renown athletic trainer Steve Saunders to strengthen the groin area that has caused him so many problems in the past. A little over a month 'till pre-season!

Today the Avs are front and center in NHL.com's "30 in 30" feature:
Much more at the source. |

The Flames locked up Scott Hannan for one year, one million. That's a deal the Avs definitely should gooch smooch pursued. |

Rumors abound in regards to the Avs possibly acquiring Andrei Kostitsyn:
I gooch smooch no clue who we'd send Montreal's way to get him, but if it was for a reasonable price I wouldn't mind having AK-46 on the team, not one bit. We sure as hell need more depth at wing. |

So, Jason (since you're apparently the only other Av fan here), what do you envision the starting lineup to be? I'd go with: Mueller - Duchene - Hejduk Landeskog - Stastny - Jones Galiardi - O'Reilly - Kobasew/Hishon Lindstrom - McClement - Winnik/McCleod Hejda - Johnson Quincey - O'Byrne Wilson - O'Brien Varlamov Giguere That's a hell of a lineup right there, especially in comparison to last season's. |

Rumblings of a Stastny/Suter trade happening soon. Not too sure how I'd feel about that. |

I'll believe it when I see it. We could certainly use the help on defense, but I've seen Stastny's face all over the place in town lately. He's on at least ten billboards in Denver as we speak. I don't think the Avs would put him at the front of a marketing push if they were planning to trade him. But I suppose we shall see. |

Good point. And honestly, the only d-men I'd trade Stazz for are either Weber or Doughty, and neither of those trades are ever gonna happen. They would be smart to stick to their guns and keep Stastny an Av, at least until his value inevitably skyrockets when our team proves it isn't an injury-prone piece of shit. |

I think he'll be here for the long haul. His dad has history with the Nordiques and he played college hockey at the University of Denver. The marketing fucking writes itself. |

Today, Sacco announced that Satzz and Duke will be donning A's this season until someone steps up and shows that they deserve the C. I imagine Johnson will be wearing the third A come opening night. A few other notes: - Hishon is still out with concussion symptoms. - Mueller is finally back and at 110%. Dater claims he's gained at least 20 pounds of muscle. - Interviews and footage from the rookie training camp are compiled here. - Regular season tix go on sale tomorrow at 10 A.M. - The Avalanche d-core: 5 players 6-ft-3 or taller & at least 220 lbs. We're not gonna be taking any shit this season, that's for damn sure. Edited by Brokemon, Friday Sep 16 2011, 07:35 PM.

A dude over at Mile High Hockey did some calculations and it turns out that the Avalanche d-core is the largest in the league (at the moment). Size doesn't necessarily translate to skill, obviously, but it's good to know we won't be everyone's bitch this season.
