"We'll try to involve Varlamov as well....."

How nice of you Francois. I think the Avs would appreciate it if you do.

I think he was referring to the summer thing with Giguere.

 

[Lonewolfe2015]

How does Roy usually run his goalies? Just curious if we'll see a heavy load for Varly or a fairly even split.

 

[CalderKing21]

this is going to be huge for Varly's development. this is gonna allow us to reap the rewards of his enormous potential.

Allaire update

On working with Semyon Varlamov and Giguere:
“Well, I think Jiggy was really excited when he called me, and of course we’re going to go on the ice this summer to make sure we’re still on the same page. We’ll try to involve Varlamov as well, because we want the kid to be part of the project. He’s the guy they tried to develop and get better, so Jiggy will help a lot, Patrick will help a lot and I will try to do my best, just to make sure everybody feels good in the organization, with Jiggy as the backup and Varlamov as the No. 1. If I can make everybody feel good and make everybody appreciate their job, I think it’s going to be a better season for both of them.â€

This is an odd comment from start to finish, especially the last part. I'm hoping it was because it was tough to articulate what he was thinking in english.

i think its going to be 2-1 och 3-1 depending on how long it is betwen games and who we are playing against.

so in the end of the season something like 55-25 to 60-20

Does anyone think that Dater has a case when he says that he thinks Giggy will be the starter next year?

 

[The Pwnerer]

Roy, Allaire and Giguere, all we need is ROR's dad and we will finally achieve Varly's maximum potential.

He won't get anywhere without synergies.

Didn't Roy say that Varly is the goalie of the future?

It depends 100% on how Varly plays

no but how often is he right ?

If Giggy is the starter next year we are in deep deep doo doo

By the way, I think the Avs will have the market cornered on character father if they draft Jones.

That will make Peter Stastny, Brian O'Reilly, Popeye Jones, and perhaps the biggest character of them all that no one talks about, Len "I circumvented my GM and co-owner and made a hand shake deal to trade Steven Stamkos after his rookie year training camp" Barrie.

 

[CalderKing21]

Does anyone think that Dater has a case when he says that he thinks Giggy will be the starter next year?

no, Giggy is no longer a starting goalie. a super sub for sure but he wouldn't hold up under the workload it would take to be the #1 goalie.

 

[Foppa2118]

What the hell is up with this and Tourigny? It's been 16 days since they made a verbal agreement with Allaire, and 20 days since Tourigny. Last word from Dater was that they were still ironing out the details.

Have they really not been able to settle their contract issues yet, and what did they agree on if they were this far apart?

 

[Avs_19]

Who knows why it's not final yet but in that interview Allaire did, he was speaking as if he's already a member of the Avs.

 

[CalderKing21]

probably just some language in the contract. or maybe they simply are focusing on the draft and Sherman is slacking.

Exactly, it's Sherman and Allaire/Tourigny. Neither side should have a whole lot on their plate right now. Roy, Sakic, and Pracey are doing all the draft and trade talks. I'm assuming it will be finalized eventually, but how long could a back and forth go for small details? Should just be a matter of, "I'd like to change this part." "Ok" and they make the changes. I'm assuming they've agreed on money, or Tourigny and Allaire wouldn't have verbally agreed yet. Just seems odd.

Good to know it's finally official!


Seriously, what?

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

According to Dater, Varlamov and Giguere have already spent time with Allaire so hopefully we're off to a good start.

now if Roy can just teach the D men to not let 100 pucks go towards the net.

"I think Varly is looking for a fresh start," Allaire said. "I think he's open to trying something else. He didn't feel he was going in the right direction. He wants to flush everything out and start fresh."

this will either be very good or very bad. i tend to think it's good as Varly just wants to get better.

Said Giguere of his time with him in Anaheim, which included a Stanley Cup in 1997 and a Conn Smythe Trophy in 1993: "My career

found this part hilarious.
