Shvyry has been on the 4th line with a rotating cast of unskilled plugs.
Which is a shame because he should be centering AJ & Kaut!

Three of those seven points for Geertsen came in one game.Anybody has info on Geertsen and Shvyryov? How are they playing?
I see Geertsen has 7 pts in 22 games and is +8 while everybody else are minus players. +/- is not a very good stat but Is he finally starting to put it together or is he being sheltered? What are the D pairings normally?
The D pairings have changed a lot in the last couple of months because guys have been in and out of the lineup. Also pairings are more fluid in the AHL. Warsofky has been out for a while, when he plays he was what you'd say was the top pair with Alt, who is obviously gone now too. They had the Justin Falk experience for a bit, which settled into a pair with Meloche. The last couple weeks it's been consistent with what's available:Anybody has info on Geertsen and Shvyryov?

Yes, that's AHL contracted Kevin Davis called up from the ECHL. He's been up for 5 games and has contributed on about 20% of their PP goals. Josh Anderson was called up too but he hasn't got in a game yet. Those pairs are about as sensible and balanced as its been. There was also a weekend they tried Lindhom on the point on the pp, not good.
On Geertsen, it's a bit of both. He's settled in but he still just looks like a third pair guy at best to me. Some points are luck, some are he's shooting and can make a half decent pass. I don't love his mobility or d zone coverage still but what he's got going is working for him. He was with Meloche for a bit too, they both had good +/- then.
Yeah Shvyrev has been on the 4th line with mostly grinders. The combo with Bass and Barron actually isn't bad and they get used as a shutdown line sometimes. But when he gets to play with skill guys like Lewis for one game and they create a goal you hope for more of that. This last week they finally figured out to put him on the pp but no goals yet, their pp is abysmal but it's a step in the right direction. I think Igor is coming along but he has to work on getting his shot more accurate. He gets a lot of good chances but aren't even close to going in and he loses possession too much. Otherwise I like his game. If you haven't seen the Eagles social media posts on Igor, boy is he a treasure.
Kevin Davis had a really underrated training camp (I thought), Avs might've found something in him for the long-run as a good AHL defender.Yes, that's AHL contracted Kevin Davis called up from the ECHL. He's been up for 5 games and has contributed on about 20% of their PP goals.
So Greer sent down after what 5 games w limited time in each. Does anyone know what his major flaws are? I don’t see him any worse that than the other roster tweeners and he seems to have a much much shorter leash.
Jared really doesnt like him. I thought Greer looked good in the Dallas game and his reward was to get sat in favor of Guy Carboneau the second Bork.So Greer sent down after what 5 games w limited time in each.

I like Greer and think he will find a way to carve out some sort of NHL career, but I think the there is a lot of false hope of it happening here. I just don't see it with Bednar around and Greer hitting waivers next season. I expect a change of scenery swap here in a couple months.
Those never work out for us tho..
Greer was always a Roy pick/project. I like him, but I feel like he isn't part of Sakic's plan going forward.
I’m not optimistic about it happening here anymore, but you don’t think that if he maintains his AHL performances he will get one last chance to stake his claim to a regular spot in camp?I like Greer and think he will find a way to carve out some sort of NHL career, but I think the there is a lot of false hope of it happening here.

If only Greer hadn't told Bednar his dog was ugly...
