yeah staying healthy is the key for him, we need all our dmen firing on all cylinders this season honestly

@AvalancheEnjoyer yeah staying healthy is key and all that but we all know what happened last season tbh

@LottoBallLarry last season wasnt our concern man lol, we got dinged in free agency not on ice injuries ngl

dont remember that much about last season's d, but isnt it weird no other big deals have gone down since free agency opened?

@AvalancheEnjoyer: yeah, it's been pretty quiet tbh, figured someone would pounce on one of those big defensemen by now honestly

@LottoBallLarry makes a good point tho, its been pretty quiet at the d position ngl, i'm starting to wonder if we're done adding pieces or something

@Avalanche9 i think ur right tbh, maybe we just havent seen that perfect situation yet but it feels like were playing a waiting game @jen_avalanche what do u make of this quiet offseason?

yeah i think we just havent seen that perfect situation yet, can't blame stan or joe for waiting for a good deal ngl, dont wanna be stuck with some underperforming dman all year

@AvalancheEnjoyer: yeah can't blame them for waitin man, better to be safe than stuck with some guy who's just gonna get overpaid and not even help the team lol

i agree idk who theyd take a chance on at this point, seems like it's either gonna be someone nobody expected or just waiting for the draft
