Without question. Happy healing but it’s time to be aggressive in a quick revamp

Yeah but how do you move on without being completely fucked? 6 more years on the contract. Who’s gonna give you anything for that? An absolute ass ripping during Nate’s prime.

He has a NMC, the only way you move on is if you’re able to void the contract

Really makes you realize how hard it is to get there. How hard it is to do over and over.
After the run in ‘22 I remember thinking, “holy shit all our best players are so young!”
Just feels a bit surreal to be here now. 2 of our top 5 players from that run are likely gone for good now.

I think we’re gonna REALLY hear about what happened in that hotel room in Seattle next year so the Avs can terminate that contract.

Reminds me of the situation with Bam Margera and Jackass
Gave him a second chance to be in the movie and he blew it, Val is a great player but its time to move on, we cant afford for this to be a yearly thing

I am so fucking bitter about how torpedoed today has been.

Yes, addiction is a disease. It is however also one of few diseases where you yourself is entirely in control of whether you succumb to it or not. Full respect for how difficult it is for people without means, who can’t afford support, medications and treatments, but for someone who is a millionaire, with every insurance you can get and full support from a wealthy organisation, this is just unacceptable and completely his fault. No excuses.

Quite likely they are stuck giving him a third chance if they can’t find a way to void the contract. He’s on a cheap deal for the talent he has. He’s an absolute liability, but his trade value is also nothing now. May as well keep him and pray he actually gets better before playoffs next season. Very good chance we see him back in November.

The things people would do to play in the league and he squanders it even after several chances. What an idiot.
Can’t wait for the 30 in 30 doc about his redemption arc that then came crashing back down.

Depending how you look at it, he was actually given a third chance already.

My only hope is Sakic and the front end now. They’ve pulled some crazy things off before.

2 seasons out the window because of him

Yup. Don’t let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.

The window is closing boys. Beds need to go to. Great coach but clearly comes up short more often than.

Stars fan coming in peace. I loved Nuke when he was with us and I was actually happy to see him producing for you guys (he didn’t do much for us the last year we had him). Hope he gets the help he needs off the ice.

I’m a canes fan, but root for y’all in the west, and this made me sad. Tough for Val and can’t imagine how much the locker room was thrown for a loop after finding out.
