Confirmed with Link: Avs sign Alex Galchenyuk to 1-year deal

CMac needs to go. I’m not impressed. I know the Avs are in a tough spot going forward cap wise but still doesn’t excuse the garbage we are bringing in

Galchenyuk isn't a signing that should even show up on your radar when judging a GM. He wasn't brought in as an answer to anything. He was a cheap reclamation gamble that didn't pan out. Oh well. Not the next Nichushkin. Maybe next time.

He is awful but I didnt mind him last game.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

He wasn't that bad. High effort level that you want from a 4th liner. Didn't skate in cement like I thought he would be. But then I didn't watch the Pens game, so maybe he was awful that game?

Apart from Georgiev the whole team looked pretty awful in that game.

It's fine, we'll see how he responds. He showed he can be a grind-it-up forward and provide energy and be relatively effective on the forecheck. The offense wasn't there but it's kinda hard to display any in such limited minutes. I'm not expecting a ton but he was a pleasant surprise, night and day from his last callup where he was a ghost.

Warm body with lots of NHL experience that can slot in when multiple forwards are injured on a contract that can be completely buried with no cap ramifications. And he wasn't even a GM signing per se, he earned the spot from in a PTO. If any of our prospects were any good enough to contribute this year, Galchenyuk would not have been signed, but Bowers and Kaut couldn't step up and Olausson, Foudy, and Meyers don't seem to be ready yet.

 

[Ceremony]

I think he's improved.

 

[forsbergavs32]

I think he was fine in his last call up. He's obviously not someone you want anywhere near the lineup come playoff time but he adapted himself to a 4th line role decently well.

 

[Metallo]

I can't believe this guy once scored 30 goals. Woof.
