That was quick.

 

[Richard88]

There's our 2LW for this season....

 

[Frenchy]

So soon , I'm guessing they had the guy lower in their depth chart and wasnt expecting him to droped in the draft.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

I think they mentioned in the draft video that they knew with a pick or two remaining they would be getting a guy inside the top 20 on their list.

 

[AvsFan29]

Must be good.

 

[Mac2Rants]

Must be good.

a Mikko/Bura hybrid would be amazing, even if lower end than mikko obviously.

I think they mentioned in the draft video that they knew with a pick or two remaining they would be getting a guy inside the top 20 on their list.

Klippenstein mentioned in the "draft preview" video before the draft that they expected lots of chaos in the first round and that he thought they'd end up with a guy who was in the top 20 or 22 on their list.

Then after the first day of the draft (between the 1st and 2nd round) he said multiple times in the same interview that they had Olausson much, much higher than where they got him.

Wondering what the Avs think the timeline is on this guy. Seems like they want him in the AHL at some point this year. Do they expect him to compete for a spot in 22/23?

wtf is a Firt round pick?

Must be nice to be 18 years old and have $92,500 fall into your lap.

But why? What makes them think he's ready to turn pro?

Joe's hubris, obviously.

Entry-Level Slide Candidates - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps.

 

[LTC Pain]

If this guy is playing in Europe next season, will he even attend Avalanche training camp this fall???

 

[Bonzai12]

We’re gonna win the cup

 

[ASmileyFace]

He's gotta be coming over to play in the AHL right??

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

We’re gonna win the cup

The Calder Cup?

 

[Shane Diesel]

The Calder Cup?

Hunter Miska can't win shit.

Does him signing mean he has to go pro next year? Pretty sure it doesn’t, I believe he can stay over seas.

But they did bring Rantanen over right away so who knows. I definitely got a good feeling about this guy, I don’t think he’s going to be another Kaut.

Don't think so, but the timing is weird. The Avs never really give ELC to this kind of prospects this quick

 

[Metallo]

He could just stay in Europe and have is contract slide. It would even slide in the AHL. No risk move really.

BTW he’s already a pro.

He’s in tier 2 league. By signing him they can loan to top tier league
