Confirmed with Link: EJ traded back to Colorado for Givani Smith

[CobraAcesS]

That's the thing that got me caught with this bug. It's too damn cold to have an adaquate garage for a shade tree mechanic.

I've missed tinking with timing belts, spark gaps, distributors and carbeurators. If I can keep a 2 foot by 2 foot section of my desk clean... I can completely do this and get my fix for tinking with gears, figuring out the best lubricating oils to use for different components etc....

Also, I don't buy Rolexes... I buy old Tissots, pocket watches and and whatever vintage cheap mechanicals I can find from the 60s. I tend to like that mid-century modern, optimistic art-deco of the future that plays into so much of that era.

Well I'll consult you if I ever decide to make the dive. If you ever want to come down and have some track time, drink beer and eat beef you're welcome.

I think EJ will play next game against Chicago so he can play in front of Avs fan before they hit the road

Say what you will about his ability but you can guarantee he's putting his body on the line every second he's on the ice. What a sight it's going to be.

He's washed, but he's better than Middleton and that's all there is to it. His interview with the journalists today was such a breath of fresh air. He's a Hall of Famer for me.

I hope he plays some regular season games to rest some of the top 4D.

Same with Vesey. These deadline pickups are duds.

We should have brought him back in the offseason instead of taking two shots at both brannstrom and kylington. One was enough.

 

[The Merchant]

Back where he belongs

 

[Grigowski]

Is that Cale with "Titti-Bar"....?

I mean that’s a natural reaction to being in a Sabres jersey.

I hear that’s the actual origin of The Grief Cycle.

Hall of Famer

Not actual NHL HoF, but Avs HoF.

 

[Sea Eagles]

God I love EJ. He epitomizes what it means to be a true AV.

 

[jfc64]

Maybe Makar can work with Malinski, Johnson and someone like Jan Rutta (at 1.0 M) next season for a cheap RD crew. Meaning Manson and a disappointning forward (hope not) can be traded so we can prolong Nelson etc.

And hop that one of Behrens and Gulyaev can step in at LC. Trade the other (the last one to show NHL promise).

God I love EJ. He epitomizes what it means to be a true AV.

I love God and my wife more but EJ comes in at a close third.

What’s the deal with Poolman? Is he ever returning? Where does he slot on the RD depth chart?

Never playing again.

 

[Pokecheque]

EJ's tenure with the Sabres just shows you how idiotic that organization is. I don't remember him EVER playing the left side in Colorado, and yet they had him there because they also had Connor Clifton on the roster. And then of course they proceeded to overload on lefties.

 

[MacKaRtin]

Hall of Famer

I can see Hall of Fame for EJ, but it would have to be a very specific Hall of Fame, like Hockey Hall of Fame for Players Who Own Horses They've Named after Teammates

Huge concussion issues.

EJ ain’t no HOFer but I will not be surprised if they hang the number 6 in the rafters someday.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

With him coming back and our core getting a second Cup and all, I'm actually really cool with him getting his number retired. Honestly, screw it... everyone that was around for both cups get their number retired.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Mikko, sadly, probably won't have his number retired now.

Mack, EJ, Landy, and Makar for sure. Maybe Toews and Lehky (if he finishes his career here).

Watched that show with Meghan and Chloe on Guerilla Sports, and they had Rahcel Tos on with them (good insight into her career and how she got to the Avs), and they questioned whether the crowd would cheer or boo Mikko on Sunday. Probably both. Lots of Fans are pissed at how he's handled this whole thing, and ended up signing with a division rival over less than $300k per year difference than what Colorado reportedly offered.

Oh, Mikko is 100% getting the boo birds the rest of his career as a Dallas Star. To the fans he's likely in Matt Duchene territory now. They will obviously cheer him for the video that gets played but after that he's going to get booed heavily.
