Recalled/Assigned: AJ Greer (again)

[El Travo]

You'd rather Greer in a culture that can actually win. Losing becomes habit, and in this team, accepted, so it's much, much more healthy for Greer to be in an average San Antonio than a deplorable Colorado right now.

San Antonio has a winning culture?

The only winning culture connected to the avs is Rouyn-Noranda

This is very true

I don't really buy the whole college athletes can't make money thing while normal students can. Do they really tell college athletes they can't work at a restaurant a few nights a week or something?? I played D1 tennis and never heard of such a thing.

Regardless, college athletes may not get money in the pocket to spend but I'd much rather take the full ride worth $70k that I don't have to pay back when I get out of college then some pathetic job in between studies. No chance a kid is making anywhere near that during their stay in college. Idk.

Was very impressed with Greer the other night. Excited to see him up next year, hopefully.

Where the hell did you go that cost 70k a year? If you meant 70k total, then we're talking about 17.5k a year; which plenty of us earned more than during our college days.

For real. Most colleges are probably around the 20-30k range right, the highest I've seen is around 60k or so.

there's out of state fees too

But seriously I'm bummed no AJ tonight. I know it wasn't going to last forever but one game wasn't enough

It is fun to see the people commencing to respect A-J Greer. He is a winning player who has a big character. All forget that this player collection many dollars for St-Justine hospital. He was young atome player. You can be impressed if you Google this. The interview are fun also.

I was always a fan But yes it is fun with everyone discovering what he can do

That made me laugh. (From a Huskies fan)

May as well update here too

 

[henchman21]

Yay! Now where the hell does he slot?

 

[Avs44]

I'm guessing that means Landeskog is out for a bit?

 

[forsbergavs32]

Those frequent flyer miles.

God I hope not. I'd hate to see this top 6 without duchene and landy

I'm thinking you are probably right. Knew that hit was worse than it looked.

Or maybe, Bednar is finally fed up with some of the crap, some of the guys are bringing and wants to actually play a player that can play. Maybe send a message to some of those guys.

But I'm thinking a Landeskog injury is much more likely.

Duchene will play tomorrow. He skated and was cleared today.

 

[cgf]

Some how I doubt this is to send a message when the team's coming off of a convincing win over the Kings. Unless Iggy has an "injury"

 

[JoemAvs]

I don't like it. Means one of our guys is out longer than expected.

Also dislike Greer moving up and down all the time. Should have kept him up for last game and waited until Duchene is back.

I want him to settle in and keep developing (ideally by playing big minutes in the AHL.)

I like rewarding him for his good play but not on a game by game basis as an emergency backup plan.

Also not sure but does his contract slide if he plays less than 9 games in the NHL?


By the way. Anyone (TV maybe?) have any idea how long Compher will be out for?
Noticed that he keeps missing games for the Rampage.
What is up with him?

Really would like for Greer and Compher to continue developping their chemistry.
That could pay huge dividends in the future.

 

[henchman21]

Greer is probably only flying to Dallas (maybe a 40 minute flight) and the Rampage don't play again until Friday. Greer could quite easily not miss a single game for the Rampage and get in a game tomorrow.... along with maybe only missing one practice.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Pretty much. And they couldn't even wait for Duchene to practice first before sending him back. I don't think they decided in mid November they are turning the page to youth.

I don't think they call him up to just be insurance either but the proximity to the game, I guess he could be.

Compher I don't think will be out long. He's only been out since Saturday and has skated with the team. There's others I'd be more worried about.

Greer's contract year is going to be used anyway, no slide. So don't worry about that. I don't want him to be the shuffle shuttler either but we don't know what's going on. And if someone has to play better than him than one of those crappy vets (Sislo, etc)

Bigras?

 

[tigervixxxen]

I know they are trying to save every 5 dollars of cap but maybe rolling 12 forwards isn't the best option. If it's not Greer maybe they need to just suck it up and keep someone up.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Bigras?

Yep. There's others but he's probably the biggest.
