The prospects the Avs have in the AHL aren't exactly blue chip guys and they're quite young. Expecting them to drive the offence in a pro league is probably a mistake in the first place.

I’m curious why the Eagles haven’t dressed Saigeon for the Eagles yet. The Avs sent him back to the OHL for an overage season, which surprised many after he was a core piece to the Hamilton Bulldogs’ OHL championship just before Colorado drafted him. Last year he was one of the most sought after overagers at the trade deadline.
I was surprised when Saigeon was healthy scratched twice to start the start the season and then sent down to the Grizzlies. He’s a very offensive player but also plays a good two-way game, and is known for his work ethic on and off the ice. Being a season ticket holder for another AHL team myself and having watched Saigeon too many times to count over the years, I was surprised the Avs didn’t send him to the AHL last year. Instead they signed him to an AHL contract and sent him to Utah. Wouldn’t it make sense to give him a shot in the Eagles’ lineup?

I'm assuming there's something about him the Avs' organisation knows that we don't. Maybe they want him to work on a particular aspect of his game and he hasn't shown improvement there yet?

Okay WTF...is it an Internet glitch or did the game between the Eagles and Reign on Friday end in a 0-0 tie? How can this be even after a shootout!?!?!?!??!?

Okay good...I sure wish there were better recaps on the AHL website, or a damned news outlet that covered them.
Anyway, thanks.

So what’s going on with Colin Campbell? Says he’s still on the roster on a PTO but hasn’t played? I don’t think he’s hurt.

Pretty limited minutes and small sample size (3 games, 1 for Timmins), but 2 games this weekend might clear things up a little.

Is he considered a vet? I think the Eagles have 6 vets and he's the odd man out right now.

Huh, you'd think Greer/Bowers/Kaut would be tearing it up. Oh well, still lots of games left to play.

Sounds like Greer is getting suspended for getting into two fights, one of which he left the penalty box for, and accruing something like 40 minutes worth of penalties in the last game. Gotta feeling he isn't going to stick around with the org.
