Really?

Ok.

 

[Balthazar]

Apparently they loved him in the room. He was the team's DJ.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Goodbye!

 

[BrickNHL]

I saw his effort go up since we picked up Parise so yeah, good for him I guess

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

I harbor no ill-will towards RyJo. He's just the player he is and was a bad fit. Worth a shot on him, but didn't work out for us.

Best of luck to him, he seemed like a really great dude off the ice.

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

He played hockey for the Colorado Avalanche.

Guy was a bad fit on the ice, glad he’s gone. Seems like a great person off the ice though and props to him for coming into a new team and being the impetus behind the mom’s trip honouring Manson’s late mom

 

[Avsavsavsavsavs]

He was part of a team.

 

[Vk1ing]

Seems like a good guy off the ice hopefully he can have his name engraved on the cup lol

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

I do wonder how much the injuries impacted his time with the Avs rather than just being lazy. I think maybe it was a combination of both but yeah it clearly didn't work at all with us.

 

[Tralfamadore]

Who?

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Straight to jail, OP

 

[AVSfan2daMAX]

Seems like a good person and teammate.

But as a player, he quickly became a liability.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

I refuse

 

[henchman21]

I appreciate that my blood pressure will be lower going forward. Thanks Ryan, my heart and future brain appreciate you!

He’s going to be making $8,000,000 in the AHL for the rest of the season.

Don’t feel bad for him.

Of all the Avalanche there ever was, he was one of them.

Of all the Avalanche there ever was, he was one of them.

 

[Metallo]

I appreciate the fact that we traded his ass. Could have been a decent 4C at a $1M cap hit.

 

[The Moops]

tfw the RyJo appreciation thread has more comments than the Byram one

 

[El Travo]

The guy was brought in for a role that was way above his level. So I can't hate him for that. He did make a few nifty passes here and there, though. The biggest contribution he had towards the Avalanche was poking Kuemper in the eye.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

He’s going to be making $8,000,000 in the AHL for the rest of the season.

Don’t feel bad for him.

Him and Kuznetsov going head-to-head down there will be funny

I was excited when Colorado acquired Johansen, and then immediately concerned a few games into the year.

He was truly horrendous at times. In the 16 games from 1/2 to 2/10, he had a measly 3 assists and a -10 rating, which was more than the next closest two Avalanche players combined (-9).

Johansen has been halfway decent since then (10GP, 5P, +4), but it's too little, way too late.

Ok, I'll offer my 2c here.
