Good move, easily better than Dries/Bourque/Nieto(right now)/Kamenev(bottom 6 version) right now.

Welcome aboard.

 

[Foppberg]

Didn't expect that. Yay?

So potential lines...

Landeskog-MacKinnon-Rantanen
Compher-Kerfoot-Wilson
Jost-Soderberg-Calvert
Nieto/Dano-Kamenev-Bourque/Dano

??

I think him and Kamenev could be good for each other.

Interesting, surprised they called up Dries then put in a claim on a player. With Ghetto skating and getting closer, I wonder if Dries goes back down or if Kamenev hasn't shown them enough.

As I said the other day, he is a better player than Bourque, Nieto, Kamenev (currently at least), Dries, but I'm not sure he is a better fit.

21 points in 35 games a few years ago with Columbus. Looks to have potential.

They'll probably want Dano to get a couple practices in with the team to know what they have before putting him the lineup.

Someone has to score on poor teams. That was more of a mirage than something that should be expected.

PS

A factoid that might be interesting only to me, he was born in Eisenstadt in Austria, a town where the majority of inhabitants originates from Croatia.

Always nice to have a new toy

Even more so when they have a name that's fun to say!

Former Blue Jacket: Check.
Well, he checks all the boxes.

Just kidding, that bottom-6 rotation could use another option right now.

 

[sethro109]

When Wilson scores a goal they play the Tom Hanks "WILLLLLLSOOOOONNNNN" sound clip. I demand they keep this trend going and play "Book em Danno" from Hawaii 5-0 after he scores.

 

[EurolancheDavid]

A Slovak player, finally.

 

[Avs425]

Well we could use some extra options on the bottom 6 so I'm kewl with it.

 

[jvcjdudu jcycyxjene]

I like it. I like it a lot.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Bednar coached him before. Pretty much a guarantee as soon as he was waived.

Puts the Avs at 48 contracts.

I loved Dano in his draft year. Solid talent that just hasn't established himself (or is a tweener). The question is has he not gotten a chance being on two deep teams, or is he just not good enough. I'd love to see him on a line next to Soda.

 

[JWK]

I liked the guy 4 years ago

 

[Foppberg]

We seem to have a good track record for waiver pick ups so I'm optimistic about him.

 

[Chileiceman]

I'd put him on Soda's wing and scratch Gork or Nieto

 

[Pokecheque]

Small, fast, and gritty. Sounds like an Avs player all right. I think the team has some serious depth concerns up front so this is a wise move.

Ya, not big worries. We wont bring back some of these one year deals. Guys like Gertsson wont make it back next year

I quite like Dano and he provide us with some NHL depth we've been lacking in the early goings, but don't be too fooled by him. He's a hard worker, what I call reliable two-way ability, and is physically engaging. However, he tends to get lost on the ice at times and doesn't really have any amazing offencive ability - not really one standout quality. Should be given more of a chance with our club though.

Would like the lines to look like...

Landeskog - MacKinnon - Rantanen
Kerfoot - Jost - Andrighetto (Offencive zone draws)
Dano - Soderberg - Wilson (Defencive zone draws)
Calvert - Compher - Whoever

I was gonna say. Definitely not an Austrian name.

I’m still so disappointed with the way his career has gone; but there was once a good top 6er there. Really hope he can finally put it all together for us.
