Can you guys confirm that Everberg is indeed a RW even though he shoots left? I'm really glad he is doing really good as I like his game and his size.
As for the #6, 7 and 8 spot on D, I see it this way.
3 spots and five players: Wilson, Guenin, Redmond, Noreau and Elliott.
I think #6 is Redmond's to lose as he is the best two-way dman of the bunch.
Going by all you guys' reports it is clear that Noreau as outplayed Elliott in camp so far. Considering how important a Barrie-type player is to the Avs' game, I think they should not gamble losing Noreau to waivers. I think he would pass but why take the chance. I say they keep him up and risk losing Elliott to waivers which at this point wouldn't be a big lost. Besides Noreau is one of Roy's guys not Elliott.
As for the other spot, assuming they keep Noreau, they wouldn't keep Elliott as they both are the same type of players and they are both RHD. So it would be between Wilson and Guenin. I don't care too much who gets it. Wilson has an edge considering he is a LHD. However Guenin has an edge due to cap space which could become important comes trade deadline time. Also I think Wilson has a better chance to pass waivers due to his salary so I think the Avs might go with Guenin. Furthermore Guenin is also one of Roy's boys while Wilson is not.
So fif I am Roy I keep Guenin and Noreau. Just my .02 cents.
