Rumor: In-season Proposals, Rumors, Free Agents & Roster Moves (related topics) L

[Gigantor The Goalie]

I'd say that theres some peanut butter and crackers. Enough to make a snack should we need it. But not enough to make a meal or satisfy a guest.

Couldn't have said it better myself. We have a bunch of long shots down there and future bottom 6 players but no one that can be a main piece in a trade.

 

[AnimalMother73]

Just curious how many top 6 f
F or top 4 D do you think teams have on average on their AHL affiliate? I'm thinking deep teams have 4-6 but don't really have a clue.

 

[tigervixxxen]

No probably not that many. I look to Tampa and Detroit who each have strong farm teams and have called up/promoted key pieces from those teams this season. The farm team isn't going to be full of high end talent but it would be nice to get a few high draft picks there and on the fast track to making the team.

suppose you list Elliott, Siemens and Hishon, not too bad but each has significant risks or room for growth in order to pan out....suppose that's also why they are there on not in NHL

none really look like a shiny rock though in terms of trade asset

I am hoping all our goalies turn out to be something.

Doubt it. I only see Aitto with real NHL potential.

Hard to tell sometimes with how depleted or otherwise lacking in talent the team in front of them is, would like to see Pickard get a cup of coffee soon

Yes, those are the top tier prospects in our pool. Each with questions but still a lot of potential. The point is we need more, especially first round talent. I'm very happy our elite first round picks are part of the Avs but we need to grow some on the farm too.

Agreed hopefully of the big winger variety seems where we are hurting the most prospect wise

Yeah I wouldn't rule Pickard out at all either.

I still have him pegged higher than Sami myself.

Our 2nd favorite defender, Shane O'Brien, on waivers.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Wow, I'm kinda surprised.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Our 2nd favorite defender, Shane O'Brien, on waivers.

He's finished. I'm not surprised.

 

[Freudian]

He's got size, decent skating and decent hands. He just doesn't seem to have the professionalism required to succeed. Seems like a path of least resistance guy.

 

[Congo Jack]

Does Calgary still have both of their compliance buyouts? I almost wonder if they'll use them on our old pals SOB and Davey Jones.

 

[Drury_Sakic]

I could see someone grab him. Edmonton maybe even?

Here you go. The answer is yes.

I doubt they'll use them on Jones or SOB though. Dennis Wideman, who was a -4 last night against the Force that is Eric Nystrom, on the other hand...

That would be awesome!

 

[TheStranger]

Too bad we can't trade compliance buyouts. I don't see the Avs needing any.

We used one for Zanon or was it normal buyout?

Wilson is the only one that is under threat in my opinion. Roy doesn't seem to like his play one bit.

Regular buyout

Just waive him, either he gets picked up or gives the monsters a warm body.

It was a normal buyout.

Also it's no surprise to see SOB on waivers. The guy sucks so bad.

I laughed then I left sorry for Calgary. Then I remembered they threw an offer sheet at us, now I don't feel bad for laughing. I'm enjoying the thought of the Flames buying out both Jones and O'Brien.
