According to capfriendly Woll would need to go through waivers.

He was also sent down.and so was Malinski. If Cogs can't go, and Dermy has to play, then we're carrying no extra players right now. Olofsson is the 4C to start the season.
Ya it feels like they're working on something. Either a trade or waiver claim.

I don't know if it's realistic to expect a backup goalie and a RD but that's the pieces we need.
From what we've seen in preseason JJ shouldn't be in the top 6. He's a 7th D and shouldn't play all the games.

People thought I was stupid to say it looked like they were penciling in Malinski as the 6th D with JJ as the #7..
They straight did, just like Jost & Newhook lol.

The team? I bet
Even if he turns into Girard 2.0, or at least good enough to cover on the bottom pairing he was likely not to hit the ground running.

At least its a much much lessor role. I hope it ends up like LoC, a role player fitting into his role with some ups and downs but genrrally met his relatively low expectations.

You mean not every rookie Dman in the organization starts their career like Makar?

Coghlan or Lindström would be viable RHS 7D's if the Avs wanted Malinski to get some reps in the AHL.
Also wonder of the Avs could be interested in Anderson-Dolan

You think Bogosian would be worse than JJ? At least he's probably on par with JJ, meaning we have little more buffer room to Malinski. But yes, Coghlan is probably the better choice if he makes it to us
Significantly worse actually. At this point he's MacDermid level.

Bogosian might be the worst player in hockey

I hope Tuffte can make it through to the Eagles. I was surprised at that waiver, thought they would keep him as an extra forward for the time being.

At this point, I think I’d look into trying to move Myers for a serviceable third pairing D.
There might still be a team out there that can afford to give him the ice time to see if he can be middle 6 in this league, but it won’t be here, and he doesn’t seem to be quite right for the 4th line, and we have plenty of guys that fill 4th line roles.

They may still keep him up even if he passes through waivers. That would give them 30 days or 10 games of extra flexibility to send him up and down if they want to try different guys without the risk of losing him to waivers then.
If they weren't in LTIR with Landeskog it would also have made sense to send him down on non game days to bank as much cap as possible, but the Avs won't be able to play those games this year.

Really hope we don’t spend the entirety of his great contract worrying about the next contract… like they did with MacKinnon

Let's not forget that this contract buys 7 UFA years.
3 year ELC + 3 year bridge + 8 year contract. That's 14 years total.
The Sabres made sure to lock up their star dmen for his entire prime.
