Recalled/Assigned: 2021-22 Colorado Eagles (AHL) and Utah Grizzlies (ECHL)

There’s Rob Hamilton they like on AHL contract too.

I can’t imagine the Avs want anything to do with any defenseman past Hunt and MacDonald. Jacobs has 3 NHL GP and didn’t get a salary guarantee. Aamodt, Clurman and Zhuravlyov are AHL rookies if they are in the AHL at all. Englund and Middleton are third pairing AHL face punchers who get healthy scratched. So while Hunt could be an acceptable 7D that leaves MacDonald as the only viable callup.

AHL doesn’t have roster limits so they can carry 8 or 9 D if needed and that group gets thinned out quick by injuries at each level.

Should sign Marek Hejduk

so Matteau is the third one to follow the european route, after Wingerli and Miska. signed for two years with Linkoping (SHL). just Bowers and Henry left with no contract. also need to sign prospects Leivermann and Weiss to keep them. my guess is that they wont sign any of the four? the Eagles roster seems pretty full imo.

I thought Henry didn’t get qualified. Which he shouldn’t have. Bowers should be only RFA remaining. Also I’m pretty sure Leivermann is going back for a 5th year of eligibility. I would still like a way for Avs to sign him after this year, as their assets are slim atm and does Clurman and Middleton deserve contracts over him? Weiss was just recently invited to rookie camp and Wright/Fizer got AHL deals so yea idk what’s going on there.

Isn’t Bowers UFA now?

edit. I see it’s his last year of RFA. Did he get the QO though?

Yes but he has no arbitration rights and is still unsigned so who knows what’s up. Either looking for other opportunities or trying to negotiate higher AHL pay I guess.

Big season for our Eagles boys. We have a very deep roster this coming season (probably the best team in the AHL if our AVS are fit) !

We did lose our top 3 scorers from last year. It's going to be a younger team, I would be surprised if they are the/a top team in the AHL. Our younger guys might get more icetime so they should be interesting to follow nonetheless.

I hope OO, Foudy, Zhura and specially Annunen play a lot this incoming season. Avs will probably need these guys to become NHLers sooner than once expected.

Better than Megna and Sherwood.

I'm still somewhat surprised we could pick NAK up for free. That was really good call by Joe putting in for him on waivers.

From what some Philly fans told me, Vigneault practically ruined him and he was playing with zero confidence. I think they were hoping to sneak him through and get him back on track in the A, but then the Avs swooped in and the rest is Dented Cup history.

Better coverage than what we get for the Avs.

Can Bowers / Kaut pass through waivers already. I'm sweating bullets here.

Better players than them already passed through waivers this week, relax. And even if they get taken, there will be plenty of opportunities to replace them on waivers the next 24 hours.
