Recalled/Assigned: 2023-24 Colorado Eagles and Utah Grizzlies (ECHL)

He's a big body and can shoot...

Schneekloth also had some interesting answers too. In offseason speculation, if you read between the lines, Foudy, OO, Malinski, Ahcan, Tufte, and Burke are going to be the guys they rely on for offense. Chance for Olofsson and Hunt to be down. Didn't sound like there is much of a plan for Pavel to be in Loveland.

There’s just no plan for him to provide offense lol

He's just not capable of it... if you planned around Beaucage providing offense, it would simply fail.

no we've got untapped William Karlsson sitting in our farm system and we're just neglecting to fit him in.

I hope Ivan is pronounced differently each time. Eye-van Ee-Von. Definitely a cologne I’d consider wearing - Emergency Call-Up by Ivan Ivan.

I talked myself into another topic on the prospect poll thread lol. So going to post that thought here. The Eagles have a bit of a logjam on D this year it seems. This is assuming MacDermid is the scratch up with Avs and Hunt is sent down to be the top call-up and be the Eagles captain as he was when Megna got claimed.

So that leaves some form of;

Middleton-Hunt
Ahcan-Clurman
Aamodt-Malinski
Fairbrother-Schueneman

That’s 8 guys who should be playing nightly. Maybe if anyone Fairbrother is a scratch? But who else do you sit? All should be nightly players and imagine both would be rightly pissed to be scratches. Not counting the AHL/ECHL two way contracts that are Mayhew, Underwood, and others that will obvi start in Utah.

I actually think that is a proper setup for depth and injuries.

Yeah AHL injuries are "doubled", you have the callups from Avs injuries and the Eagles' own injuries to deal with.

It's always ee, no one's name is ever actually Eye Van.

 

[Foppa2118]

He should pronounce it like Avon Avon and roll into contract negotiations like a straight G.

There’s no roster limit in the AHL so they will carry more extras but there’s also AHL contract guys in the mix as well like you said. I wouldn’t be shocked if they send Fairbrother to Utah with the excuse he’s played 25 pro games in two years and could use the tuneup until injuries begin to compound.

 

[Gruyeriev]

Somebody tell me about Ivan Ivan. Is he as good as his name?

Generational name, generational player










In the echl.

Already better than half of Avs roster.

He is better than current-day Joe Sakic.

 

[Gruyeriev]

He is better than current-day Joe Sakic.

Yes. I saw the the same three games you guys did

 

[MarkT]

When the Avs try to send him down

 

[Bender]

Yes. I saw the the same three games you guys did

I think there's a chance I might be better than current day Adam Deadmarsh.

Kiviranta and Holland sign AHL deals w/ the Eagles. I'm assuming that since Kozun isn't mentioned that he didn't have much interest in attempting his NHL comeback in the AHL.

 

[AvsFan2123]

Wow. Kind of wild that Kiviranta accepted an AHL contract. I figured he’d go to Europe before doing that. How much can AHK contracts even go up to? Last I saw/knew they topped out around 150K?

I really feel like he'll get games this year too. Injuries and inconsistent play and whatnot is going to lead to these bottom-6ers getting their looks.

There is zero cap… they could earn 15m and it would be okay. Realistically most AHL deals max out in the few hundred k. You might find a rando one that is outside that (usually connected to the NHL still).

Pretty important distinction, they signed with The Eagles, not The Avs

Yeah, I said they signed AHL deals w/ the Eagles.
