It must be a bit depressing for Briere, knowing he's only an Avs player because he was a contract coming back and being a healthy scratch in the twilight of his career.
At the same time, he could have signed cheaper one year deals if he wanted to make sure he got to play.
He wore #75 with Sharks maybe a new number in Colorado which has never been used
Still holding out hope we call up Siemens. I'm really surprised Roy is running with only 6D, he hates doing that.

There's renewed hope with how he played last night, both in terms of his overall quality and the amount of minutes played.
Perhaps they will after the weekend? I do find it a tad strange that we've called up Hamilton already, but perhaps their Pro-Scouts had said that they felt he was ready for NHL duty before trading for him, and they just wanted to get him a game or 2 with Lake Erie first?

That's why I think they weren't offered anything for him. The Avs would have at least made sure he wouldn't ended his career this way if they could have.
TMV, that's a good theory unfortunately.
I think Roy is still holding onto the slimmest of hope that the playoffs are still in reach. (rightfully so) The odds are super long, but it COULD still happen.
Until the team is mathematically eliminated, I don't see the roster going into full youth mode.
Truthfully, it is probably best that the young D men only get a small cup of coffee, 8-10 games, rather than the full 20.
