Rumor: AVS Proposals/Rumors/Free Agents & Roster Moves (related topics) ‎ ‎

[henchman21]

I'm not a big Grimaldi fan, but am totally okay with that deal. Reto should get a good shot to establish himself as a backup there.

 

[Avs44]

Why do we want Grimaldi?? Cap clearing at least.

 

[NOTENOUGHJTCGOALS]

Sakic press conference: we got our Radulov.

 

[ArWKo]

Avs trade for undersized former college player. IT CAN'T BE.

 

[Mighty Makar]

We save some cap?

 

[hughdreamz]

Bye bye Berra!

 

[Thepoolmaster]

He's so short. Surprised they wanted him

 

[tigervixxxen]

Now we need another goalie.

Return of the midgets?

 

[Cousin Eddie]

I guess this confirms that Varly/Picks are going nowhere.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

The important thing is that we moved Berra!

 

[UncleRisto]

5'6"?!

 

[Freaky Styley]

We save $ and get a roster player for a non-roster player. Like the move. Tells us that Varly is staying put too.

Grimaldi is small, but I've liked what I've seen from him.

 

[bohlmeister]

What is a Rocco Grimaldi?

 

[ArWKo]

If not anything maybe this indicates that Roy isn't the "size queen" everyone makes him out to be which gives me hope for them drafting Keller or Jost.

 

[Thepoolmaster]

Spencer Martin will see full time in the AHL I guess? Not too familiar with him but seems like a good thing.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Are we signing Parshin, too?

 

[Ararana]

Just Sakic San Antonio building... lol

 

[The Abusement Park]

Grimaldi is gonna be the second come of Martin St. Louis, or third coming if you count Gaudreau.

 

[ArWKo]

Just Sakic San Antonio building... lol

I think Rocco gets a shot to earn a spot in the bottom 6 at the very least. Avs are short quite a few roster spots.

 

[The Abusement Park]

I'm pretty sure I was Grimaldi's height in like 5th grade lol

 

[Avs44]

Didn't Grimaldi have attitude issues...?

 

[henchman21]

I guess this confirms that Varly/Picks are going nowhere.

I wouldn't say that (I really don't think either will be traded though)... Berra just wasn't going to be a backup here not matter who was the starter (especially if Picks is the starter) and the Avs want to clear the way for Martin.

 

[Bender]

If not anything maybe this indicates that Roy isn't the "size queen" everyone makes him out to be which gives me hope for them drafting Keller or Jost.

I'm not a big Grimaldi fan either but who cares!!! This gets Berra off the books and gives us another $1.5M in cap space.

FANTASTIC TRADE by the AVS!!!!!

 

[ArWKo]

Didn't Grimaldi have attitude issues...?

If I recall it was less attitude issues and more that he's SUPER religious and it rubbed some guys the wrong way.

 

[member 116861]

Love the trade. Isn't Grimaldi the really religious one?
