Not Great, Bob!
You could also put together a Landeakog - Soderberg - Lindholm line for the same effect.
You mean Landesberg - Söderholm - Lindskog?

Not sure I understand what you mean by this. Do you mean that Compher hasn't done well enough to take one of the spots away from either of the Bourques?Compher is helping the case for both Bourques as well.

I have no issue at all with giving either Bourque a contract.
Glad to hear Grigo had a good name. Some credit from Bednar too. How does he look in regards to being soft? I never expect him to use his size to lay hits but is he using it to separate others from the puck at least
Pretty much but the bourques have been better than the rest of the group of potential bottom 6 forwards.
Grigo was fantastic, not just the goals. He's forechecking well too. I think he's refreshed playing center again. Bednar had some really nice things to say about him.

Ok thanks. That's what I thought you meant. I agree with you by the way. Compher hasn't done too bad so far but the other two have been better.That's right. Both of them have shown more than him to earn bottom 6 spots on the team. He is giving the coaching staff an easy decision on sending him down and signing those dudes to 1 year contracts.
I know Compher and Greer are probably going to need a season in the A. But the ROR trade is starting to look really really good!
I think Greg is the guy i'm rooting for the most. If he can turn into someone like Couts the Avs are going to be in such a good place depth wise. Crazy he's still so young, maybe just a late bloomer.
If Zads can come out as a top 4 D somehow this trade will be magical for the Avs.
eh, I wouldn't trade Bergeron for Couturier and a top 4 D

so you think they'd be looking for more of a bridge deal?It's hard to say because the the dollar isn't high they might not want term. If they could get Z for 4M over 5-6 years that would be great, not sure they'd want to go there tho. Grigo maybe 2-3M for 4 or 5. But like I said, it's tough for them to want term in the low end.

Both players would be stupid to sign long term deals now and not bet on themselves when they haven't proven anything.
Right now, if the Avs are wanting to lock up Zadorov to a long term deal, the highest he's going to be offered is 4M per season. Grigorenko won't get over 3M per season. They just haven't done enough to warrant a long-term deal.
It sounds smart in theory, but theory doesn't always play out in the real world.
