Rumor: Avs Proposals/Rumors/Free Agents 18-19 part X | Offseason Blues

[Bone Breaker]

Id be surprised if anyone else overttakes Kamenev as our 13th fwd. I mean he would have played plenty last year if hadnt been Orpik'd

I'm under the impression everyone hopes he makes the roster or goes back to the AHL, no? would being a nacho eater be helpful for him and his development? since he has more upside than others around him, I hope they keep him playing (wherever) and let someone as Bourque or Toninato be a roster replacement.

We actually won the central division with McLeod - Cliche - Bordeleau as our 4th line. Mitchell was a 3rd liner with McGinn and Talbot.

Bordy and Mack were the only 2 AVS players to play all 82 games that season.

Please stop. You’re gonna make me throw up.

That bottom six was one of the worst this team has seen since the lockout. But the top six was one of the best we've had since 04.

Landy - Stas - Mack
Pap - Dutch - ROR

What a roller coaster ride that season was.

Oh but remember the D corps that carried us there?

EJ
Hejda
Barrie
Guenin
Holden
Benoit
Sarich
Wilson

Disgusting.

Poor Ryan Wilson was this board's scapegoat even though he wasn't playing much.

Wilson was a curious case. I started to watch Avs games super actively when Roy was hired so I haven't seen Wilson play too much. But my memories of Wilson are somewhat like this:

* He is injured
* Comes back from an injury
* Is not playing well, mostly because of being rusty after not playing for a while
* After a while, starts to play better again
* Plays a couple of good games, gets injured again

And then the circle would start again.

Ryan Wilson was one of my favorite Avs, I remember he had a pretty sad back story as well. I fully believe that he would've been a top 4 D had it not been for repeated concussions, at times he even played like one, only to sadly end up on the IR soon after.

 

[Freudian]

I think Wilson also had ankle and knee injuries, which hurt his skating.

 

[Piestany88]

It's only a problem if it goes to arbitration. Having the team argue that he's not worth more than $4M might rub him the wrong way.

Truth hurts

I think he's done all he can do at the AHL level , 104 pts in 144 games, also keep in mind he'd be practicing with the big club more often so its not like he'd just be chillin
If he stinks or gets passed up by someone else i bet they try and move him or he goes back to the KHL

 

[CB Joe]

I'm thinking Kamenev establishes himself as a middle six player by December.

I was really enjoying him hitting everything. Sad to see him fizzle out due to injury

Cmon man. 4M is mid pairing money. Trouba is #2 with room to grow.

Yup i agree.
He had such a good run of form until he was hit head first from behind by some goon in Edmonton in 2010 and never really became the same again. Especially after the leg/ankle problems which took its toll on his skating as well.

 

[LieutenantDangle]

Ryan Wilson laid the biggest hits. It’s no wonder why he was always injured. It was fun while it lasted. Just another avs defenseman to never reach his potential

 

[lonelybadger]

Where was it reported that Panarin wanted to play long term?

Athletic had an article stating he won't negotiate after September 13th. Aka I'm not signing here long term, and I won't talk extensions with my new team after the 13th .

 

[Piestany88]

True but he wants unrestricted money with restricted years involved.

I think it was Chicago, NYR and one other team.

The Florida’s

Welcome to 2018.

 

[Avalanche]

I think it was LA instead of Chicago

 

[Balthazar]

I think it was LA instead of Chicago

That's correct

From Friedman's 31 thoughts:
14. Draft rumblings were that Artemi Panarin’s preferences (in no particular order) are Los Angeles, New York and Florida.

Its tough so say which caused the other, or if each played into themselves but his conditioning was never really at the level it should have been and he struggled with it.

You could give him the Jost trajectory. Start him as 4c with Wilson and Calvert and then let him earn his way up the roster from there.
