With injuries to Tanguay and Aggz along with Rantanen just playing plain great in the AHL, I do believe that he's about ready to come back up to the NHL. I can't wait to see him back in an Avs sweater that's for sure.

I hope he gets the call up and that Roy doesn't keep forcing him to be a LW then wondering why he looks awkward out there.

I want what is best for his development. If he keeps up this pace at some point dominating the AHL won't be beneficial.

Oh I agree and I'm still of the opinion that NHL experience this year helps him help the Avs next year. His goals thus far were "lucky" I guess you could say. I don't like saying that because I do believe you create your own luck to an extent and its not like anyone else gets "lucky" goals, so I wouldn't say he's dominating yet although there are flashes of it. For right now he's in a good spot, he's only been there a couple weeks.

I have to say though, I do hope he gets the call up with Tanguay out. He was really starting to find his feet when he got sent down. I totally understand why they did it, and he hasn't been down very long, but I have more faith in his NHL abilities than I do Agozzino or Rendulic right now.

I'd rather he keep building his confidence in the AHL and makes sure his knee is fully healthy before getting the call up, even with Tangs out.

Oh damm, I haven't found any news mentioning Rantanen, seems like they forgot him right when he was send to AHL :shakehead

Let's hope it's minor, he seemed to be doing very well and getting more confidence.

we've heard about maybe 3 AHL injury details in the last 5 years so it isn't surprising.

They have a game on Wednesday, if there's any hope of an update it will happen then. We at least have guys willing to ask the questions with this new team but doesn't mean they'll get answers.
