Confirmed with Link: Avs sign Evan Rodrigues - 1 year 2M AAV

[CharlesPuck]

Rapids do need a striker

Too bad Aubameyang had a fall out with Arsenal or else Kroenke could have loaned him to Rapids.

 

[obZen]

Rather have Cliche back tbh.

 

[AvsWraith]

Great deal for the price.

ERod will be hungry to get paid next year and playing in our system should give him a good opportunity to be successful.

I liked keeping the cap space for a 2C but this does make the players in the bottom 6 line up a lot better. I will trust our pro scouts on this one as they have found good fits for this team pretty consistently.

We do still have space for adding a 2C at the deadline....

All depends on how many the Avs carry, and how well the guys on ELCs perform. If the Avs carry 23... then they are only accruing on 1m in space on a daily rate. If the Avs carry 20-21, they might be accruing at an over 2m daily rate. If Byram plays a top 4 role and scores a good amount, 850k could be bonuses. He blows up in a big way, he could take up more than that current space by himself. Newhook and Meyers could take up a mil with theirs too. Now the bonuses could be pushed to next year... but ~$2m next year could be even more critical than this year.

I don't think a second line of Lehk-Rod-Rantanen would work. Obviously I'd like Lehk and Rant together, but I think Mackinnon is the C for them. Rod is supposedly low IQ so put him between Landy and Nuke

Some guy on the main board

 

[The Merchant]

Some guy on the main board

Ah, yeah. I'd definitely take his word for it

 

[henchman21]

He's a low IQ player.

 

[Snow Arc]

WELCOME BACK, NAZEM KADRI!!!

=)))

 

[Avs44]

He's a low IQ player.

We have identified the "some guy on the main board" I see

 

[Chiarelli]

He sounds like Donskoi to me. Streaky, with some lineup and position versatility

 

[JoeSakic13]

Finally a No 9 again

Didn’t we retire the number after Sikura?

 

[the_fan]

Main question is, does he like chickpea pasta?

 

[Dr Amazing]

Good signing adds more scoring go Avs

 

[JoeSakic13]

Word is MacKinnon has already called Evan to welcome him to the team.

Where is that from?

Jingle All The Way. The 90s classic combining the amazing acting of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sinbad, and the kid who played Anakin in Episode 1.

 

[RECKLESS]

Like!!

Watching the highlights, he has a solid one timer and a wrist shot. Likes going high blocker side on goalies with a writster. Can score with one timers on PP. Should be a good add the way Avs like to play

He's gonna replace Bura on PP2.

He's gonna replace Bura on PP2.

Yup, and I think he'll get 20 to 25 goals for sure

 

[Avsboy]

50-60 points in a contract year is doable

 

[Foppberg]

Dude has an absolute bomb of a shot, it'll be interesting to see how they utilize it.
