TJ Galiardi waiting by his phone waiting for Francouz to call and ask permission.

Tyler Arnason will settle for the fare on driving him to the Pepsi Center.

MacKinnon's (and mine) birthday is tomorrow. Obviously this means off-season ends today.

 

[Bubba Thudd]

Happy (day before) Birthday!!!

Were all the prospects there as well? Timmins isn't a regular. Hopefully it means nothing.

I stopped by one day as well for a brief look and I believe Calvert was wearing the number #15. Also, he is really small if that was him. Him and Warsofsky were the two shortest blokes from what I saw.

Who wore #42 or #43 last year? Because if I remember wasn't it Boikov? Whoever it was that wore the number, he was skating out there with the group.

It's pretty much only the rookies. Timmins was there a week or so ago but has been missing all week.

Calvert is wearing 11. Shyvyrov is 43.

I like that he kept it. Avs could use some of that old #11 mojo.

Thanks, any idea who #15 is? Rantanen was there the other day.

Kosmachuk or Dries

Thanks a lot!

surprised how few votes Calvert got in this poll. He will be a fan favourite 10 games in. Love that we got him

As much of a fan favourite he might become, it's a hell of a lot more exciting with getting a potential #1 goalie, a recent 1st round draft pick, and a highly touted D prospect.

Fair enough, but IMO he will have a larger impact on this team next year than any of those three. Grubs might be close, but I expect Varly to take many of the starts.

Yeah next year for sure. My gut feeling is Varly keeps his #1 role too.

Was really hoping an unknown prospect with an F last name (Forsberg would be nice) would pole-vault onto the scene and play with (M)ack and (R)ant so every time they hit the ice or scored the soundteam could use this:

We need to hide a live cam at family sports

[Avs71]

Could definitely see Zadorov averaging 22 minutes a game this year if he is in great shape right from the start.

 

[agentblack]

Doesnt Z have a late start problem...actually i think most of them do

 

[Ararana]

 

[Avs_19]

Guess I have to follow Mars on twitter now.

 

[Freudian]

Out:

Bernier
Comeau
Yakupov

In:

Grubauer
Cole
Calvert

On paper the team is slightly improved with the personnel changes. Add all the rookies from last season having room to improve. Still, the problem from last year with a weak/inexperienced middle six remains.

Rude.

Nemeth was the only one not there but he’s been skating in Dallas with Stars players.

That's odd, especially considering he tried to break Seguin's face early in the year. That seemed like bad blood to me.
