There's an ongoing thread about the most positive thing(s) about the Avs season.
What do you all think are the biggest Avs prospect system positives for the 2014-15 season?
Most impressive player for me this weekend is Bigras. Damn is that guy talented. I'd usually say in a solid non-flashy way but the guy is getting some flash to his game both physically and with the puck. He's ready for the next step.
Butcher did that drop pass on the PP, he'll fit right in.
He did make a bad pass on the PP which led to a mini break, but he back checked hard to get the rebound. He's a very smart player though.Butcher had a really good tourney. Very consistent on both ends. Rarely made any mistakes, none being major ones. Too bad they couldn't go on.

He'll have to be incredibly smart if he's going to make an impact at his size.
It was on a PP in the second period. He tried to make a cross ice pass, it got cut off and there was a 2 on 1 but he got back to get the rebound after the goalie made the save. It was just one play but it was a bad pass.What's your definition of a mini break. I can't recall the play you are thinking off.
His size, to me, is one of the least of my worries. He's built like a tank and that didn't stop other less physical players from making the NHL.

It was a 2 on 1 all the way down the ice, from the far blueline. Butcher was able to hustle and get back and lift the stick of the other forward and knock the rebound away though. I don't remember exactly when it was, but it was a PP in the 2nd.A 2 on 1 all the way down the ice? Or was he, or someone else, able to get back and make it 2 on 2 before the scoring chance happened? Can't believe I can't remember this. An odd man rush certainly would have stuck out in my head as a "bad" turnover.
How good of a skater is Butcher? Can he skate a well as Barrie?

No, definitely not. He's ok but I think it's still an area that he could use some work at before he becomes NHL ready.
