I mean, it's a developmental league (cue Tigervixxen snickering in background) so it makes sense they'd have rules in place for that. Unless this is a recent development I don't believe it prevents veterans like Mike McKenna, Cody McLeod, Darren Haydar, and Brian Willsie from having very long and successful AHL careers.

That developmental rule has been around for a long time... and SOB is just pissy because teams didn't want him around their younger guys. :sarcasm:

(He is right though that very quickly you can see if the 20/21 year olds can cut it)

There’s plenty of room for the TJ Tynan’s of the world to make it a career out of being a AHL legend. The vet rule is over blown. It doesn’t count ECHL games and their number doesn’t accrue in season. A guy like Jacob MacDonald wasn’t even over the vet limit his first time with the org. Maybe there isn’t room for AHL third liners to be veterans but there’s enough room for them to take the major roles. If they truly wanted to be a “development league” they should cap it at max 5 guys not on ELC but that would never happen.

Those that predict perfect health for this team.
You must be a rookie Av fan just getting into hockey to believe that lol. Do we know the injury? Please tell me it is not a torn MCL, ACL, or Shoulder.

E: Nevermind, just saw it in the injury thread.

I'm just bummed Behrens waited until he was back with the Eagles before getting hurt. The Avs could've used those 82 man games missed. I've got a feeling we're going for a record this year!

Any expectations for Trent miner when it comes to being an nhl goalie? He seemingly, looking at numbers at least, had a nice season last year in minimal starts. Nice first game last night too…

Anyways just curious

Zero. If he ever suits up for an NHL game, that team is in some severe trouble

He’s better than Mandolese. Miner has always been underrated, he could be a solid career 3/4 goalie if given the chance.
