My memories a bit hazy maybe someone else remembers better than I do.
I think it was Sacco but he played either Elliott or Barrie as forward for a game a long time ago. Does anyone else remember that?
It worked for Nick 'olden
My B, didn't realize how much further the conversation had gone before I submitted my postCan we put this debate to rest? It led to some decent discussion but not even the OP is really on board with it so haven't we said enough?
Ahh okay that was probably it, I could have sworn it was one of our young right handed D’s but that was a long time ago and honestly I’ve tried to forget everything from those dark days...If you mean Liles, then yes.
The GOATI swear Stefan Elliott played at least a couple of games at forward.
I don't operate like that. Sorry. I'm not convinced by how many people disagree with me. I'm convinced by reasoning and facts and things like that. If someone explains exactly how Barrie would fail spectacularly as a forward despite him performing extremely well deep in the offensive zone as a defensemen, then I'm all ears.
Or we could just ignore my idea because it's obviously never going to happen anyway. I'd be fine with that too. It's not exactly a big deal.
Ahhhh the Boychuk and Colby Cohen days.Oh it's possible. Avs just love doing that. Remember when then-prospect Johnny Boychuk played a couple preseason games at forward because Q didn't think he'd ever pan out as a defenseman?

Before my time here, but I bet that trade caused a meltdown.

I don't remember being on here much, if at all, for either of those trades but I'd assume Nigel Williams caused mass anger due to how he was perceived lmaoNot as much as the Nigel Williams trade
Wendel Clark was a DMan converted by the Leafs as a LW. It's rare, but it does happen...

Ugh...the player that landed the Avs Mutt Bumwhack.

They played Ryan Wilson at forward for a few games as well.I swear Stefan Elliott played at least a couple of games at forward.
Yes, that's actually the trade meltdown I remember more vividly than the reaction to the Cohen deal--the term "bad asset management" was thrown out more than once.
I just Googled his name to see what happened to him--injuries apparently destroyed his pro career not long after the Avs dealt him away.
I will defend Matt Hunwick until the day I die.
Yep, there was.
Ugh...the player that landed the Avs Mutt Bumwhack.
