Schlereth and Evans 104.3 The Fan

It’s time to start looking ahead for the Avalanche after they fall in the second round. Which free agents do they keep and who do they say goodbye to? And what do they do about Val? Breaking news came out of Broncos Country last night: linebacker Drew Sanders has torn his Achilles and will be out of most of the season. Our 9News Broncos insider Mike Klis joins the show to walk us through what happened as well as the status of a few other pending players.

Mat Smith in for Stink this morning. Jamal Murray is set to play in the Olympics this summer. Is there any concern there in terms of getting enough off-season rest? And what will Jokic do? The Prime effect is still in full form as CU officially sells out of all their tickets for the season. Mat and Mike debate expectations for CU this year before questioning whether the Nuggets should’ve move on from MPJ or not.

What direction do the Nuggets go in this off season to set themselves up for another championship? Should they continue to develop young players, or should they let some guys go to go out and get a veteran? Then, Mat and Mike play a game of “Should I Stay or Should I Go” with the Avalanche’s free agents.

Does Bo Nix need to worry about “winning” the QB position or just keeping it? It sounds like the competition is between Zach Wilson and Jarret Stidham. Mat and Mike debate as the Broncos begin their first full OTA’s this week. Who are the guys rooting for in the NHL and NBA playoffs now that our teams are out?

What a shame. The Nuggets and Avalanche’s seasons are officially over, and we are wallowing in the disappointment. What the heck happened this weekend? Mat Smith and Mike Evans try to figure it out. Lack of trust? Burn out? Out rostered? Either way, which team’s 2nd round exit is more surprising?

Is the fatigue excuse for the Nuggets a good one. Mike doesn’t buy it, but Mat argues that it is a piece of the overall failure equation for the Nugs. There is one player who let the team down the most and was Michael Malone out of pocket in his postgame presser? How about the Avs, how much of the result of the season was in their control?
