Pre-Game Talk: 2023/24 Training Camp

[S E P H]

He's solid, very athletic but lacks the structure/IQ like a poor man's Varlamov. I am a firm believer that Avs FO believe that they can instil the structure part into him with Parkkila considering the goalers they've drafted and traded for.

Well... I guess class begins now. It has been said before Parkkila has input on these moves.

A .900 with a 3.06 GA just seems whacky lol.

 

[Avs9296]

Well at least Tufte is staying and we have flexibility with sending him down and up

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

So they didn't get a Dman... opting to start the year with 6D is a choice.

 

[kchan9]

Would love to add him to the Avs. Probably gonna get too much $ though

BTW, what a shitty season opener we have this year in LA. Super late night game on a national broadcast in an arena that looks terrible through a camera.

Who cares man. Avs hockey is back!

I'm still hoping maybe they do a trade before I go all wtf lol.

Love Prosvetov. He’s an athlete and has great size. Also a wild man on the ice. I personally think he’s got legit NHL ability and can be a longer term solution.

Thank god our defensemen are all beacons of good health.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Hopefully what he hears isn't:

"Sorry Riley, you had an outstanding camp and you totally earned a spot, but I'd much rather give McDermid 4 minutes a night to lumber around"

So.. you're saying Justice is served?

Most likely the game 1 lineup:

Man, we open the year with a three-game west coast road trip. Come home for two games and then head right out to the east coast to close out the month with a three-game trip. Boys are going to hit the elite mileage tier early this season.

In Windsor.

Zona numbers, you're not supposed to get it lol.

Wouldn’t we potentially lose him right back when Francouz comes back?

 

[henchman21]

Potentially if he’s waved and if Frank actually comes back. Nothing saying Arizona will reclaim him or anybody else would.

I don't get it lol, but any time you're glass half full about something I take notice.

 

[Avsboy]

TMV doubling down on Nichushki

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Can't wait for a January D-corps of

Girard-JJ
Aamodt-Hunt
Middelton-Malinski

 

[CobraAcesS]

Zona numbers, you're not supposed to get it lol.

I would think their AHL team would be good, but maybe not since they need all those guys at the NHL level.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Or bring Malinski/Hunt back up. Just don't go on the road with 6D

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

Really like this move from the Avs. He fits into the profile of goalies the Avs like and currently fit into their defensive play. Prosvetov has the mobility, agility, and size combination the team will love. Shows he can be patient on his edges and has decent structure. He's done well toning down his play and playing within the crease rather than being an unmitigated scrambling mess. The Yotes did a good job getting him to take a jump last year, Parkkila should be able to get him ready to be the 2G here. Potentially for awhile too.

That he does

If the FO showed the consistent ability to fill holes at the TDL I’d be less worried. Because adding a depth dman isn’t hard to do there, but… we never fill holes at the TDL.

 

[UncleRisto]

Yeah, I like Prosvetov as a potential long-term move. Maybe it doesn't work out but it's the right kind of guy to try.
