So good. A lineup with Pogo, Rhett, Mismash, Olson and Smith could be a lot of fun to watch. No one will want to play us.

Schloss noted in his blog for today that for both he and Gersich that it's "starting to sound more like they'll probably stay for next season" .... I'll take that, too.

Wait, what? LOL

I'd think Kawaguchi is in before Adams.

Lol ok. So, what does this prove? I guess I'll have to take your word for it as I honestly don't remember.

Article on Jost from the Denver Post: http://www.denverpost.com/2017/03/30/tyson-jost-joins-avalanche/ “It was a tough decision,” he said. “Obviously, North Dakota was great to me and I have the utmost respect for that program and everything they’ve done for me. At the end of the day, I just thought I wanted to take that next step and I wanted the challenge. I wanted to take that risk. . . I’ve dreamed about this my while life, playing in the NHL and it was right there in front of me. I thought why not take it, this was my dream.” The Fighting Hawks lost 4-3 in double overtime to Boston University in the first round of the NCAA West Regional last Friday. Asked what happened after that, leading to his signing, Jost said, “There were a lot of little things that went into it. Obviously, I spent a lot of time with my family and my agent (J.P. Barry), just talking over the decision, obviously along with the Avs organization too. I just thought it was best if I came up here and sign that contract.” Did the Avs aggressively approach him or did he let them know he was ready to sign? “It was kind of mutual,” Jost said. “They respected that I loved my time at UND and they knew I was going to make the right decision and obviously they went over the pros and cons. Joe (Sakic) and I had a really good talk and they were really respectful about my decision They gave me time and they gave me space and they were really professional and good about it. Hard to argue with a kid about his dream, IMO. Good luck, Josty. I'll definitely be rooting for ya.

He was an absolute monster the whole game against BU.

Change the angles. Wolanin is the man at this.

Frats! Had a 25 point sophomore year after 15 as a freshy, got suspended had a great second half of his junior year and then went bananas in his senior year. It can happen.

I was looking for a reply to that because I thought the exact same thing and was about to reply hahaha. IHTINB and I are usually on the same page hahaha.

I think these numbers are absolutely attainable for all of these players listed.

JJ, Rhett, Hoff, Bowen, Olson, Yon will FOR SURE get us 30+ goals. Not even a doubt in my mind.

Agreed.... the skill is there. Will it ever happen? Maybe not. But, the skill is there for him to score.

I feel like we have a lot of average to good scorers and the potential is there for some consistent offense. Top scorers: - Gersich - Pogo (PLEASE STAY) Should make a big step: - Rhett - Hoff Could make a big step: - JJ - Bowen - Yon - Wilkie.... pleeeeeeeease

Jost scored twice against BC in NYC. We don't make the tourney without that win. Boeser scored the GWG in the title game last year.

Again.... lol

Lol....

Not sure about that. He would have been 16 to start last year.

College life. More time in the weight room. Also could be that his plan was 2 years and maybe things changed? We'll never know.

They'll lose to the eventual national champion one game before the Frozen Four after leading after two periods? LOL #perspective

Definitely good for him. I won't lie and say he isn't a big loss, because he is. But, we'll be fine. #reload

He's gonna be in the NHL. That team is a dumpster fire.

Another thing that bums me about this is that it makes that hack Mike Chambers look like he was right. Ugh. Yes, today sucks.

Well, we're not the only ones out there! It's awesome for Tyson.

Today sucks. Good luck, Tyson. You're a star in the making and I don't think anyone really has too many doubts about it.
