Some call it impressive, others call it desperate - all a matter of perspective

Ya I certainly wouldn't call this impressive

 

[McMetal]

I think it's fair to say that Prishchepov has earned this callup. He played well in preseason, earned an ELC for it, then posted 4 points in 6 games as a first year AHL player. Yes, the Avs are desperate, but you have to give some credit to Prishchepov as well for making his case.

Good on Prishy. He deserves the call-up. He has had a very good showing in both the preseason and the AHL so far.

Love it. Who ever banged the table for him in the 7th round should be promoted. Even if it doesnt work out, a 7th round pick getting NHL mins is better than 90% of 7th round picks.

Hopefully he plays and Bednar ACTUALLY plays him. Like, 2-3 shifts ain't enough.

He cant possibly be worse than Kylington as a forward, especially at forechecking. I actually think hes probably better than Stienburg.

We have a 7th round pick who’s gonna play in the NHL, even if it’s one game and 2 minutes. We are the best drafting team in the league

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Good luck kid!

Thank you!

Oh you mean…..

You know he won't.

 

[Sticktape]

Isn't he supposedly good at forechecking and board battles?

I wish we had Detroit's old drafting... how they got Pavel and Henrik at 171st and 210th overall is crazy.

 

[UnkleKraker]

You guys are looking at this wrong. He is very clearly a living sacrifice to the injury gods.
