I honestly wouldn't be surprised. Think the Avs missed out on that one, rookie mistake by Sakic not to close that deal.
Wait...we're talking about Hayes, right? How was that a rookie mistake by Sakic...???

There were really strong rumors that Hayes was going to sign with Colorado, but the Rangers jumped in and was guaranteeing him a spot. Sakic refused to offer him the same and he ended up signing in New York. Wonder how things would have turned out, apparently one of Vesey's main reasons in going to NYR was that he was friends with Hayes.
Vesey sure, but not Hayes. Hayes has it in him to be better.Well, Hayes and Vesey are two big (literally) reasons the New York Rangers finally pulled the plug last season. They were supposed to be impact players who could help the Blueshirts remain contenders, I don't quite see how this was a miss on Joe's part when both players have been big disappointments. Kerfoot has already in my mind proven to be superior to those two.

Yeah, well no, no big deal there.I still don't think not getting him in the first place counts as a mistake on Sakic's part.
In that what if scenario I’d probably have became a Jackets fan...
Injuries mostly lol , plus I think the size would come in handy and I think Joe will stand pat again on the trade front . Just a gut feeling , when I watcb him in the A he looks too good do that league. If not then I could see him in Bourque spot next year. Plus with Loveland just up the road , he could be recalled sooner and stick .
Maybe but I believe Greer will push the waiver wire guys out when ready. Nieto , Bourque , Dano and maybe even Andrighetto will likely be gone before giving up on Greer. Kinda like the defense with Nemeth and Barberio over Meloche. Just because they are on the team now doesn't mean they value them more than Meloche going forward .For me its just the depth chart above him that makes me question. I mean when fully healthy the last spot atm is Nieto/Dano. With a couple of injuries I could maybe see it but as of right now if the team is picking Dries or possibly O'Connor over him then he still has quite a bit of ways to go. I'll be rooting for him but I think as the days go by it becomes increasingly unlikely he will be with the Avs and maybe we see a Bigras situation. Once Bowers, Kaut and another 1 1st rounder's enter the fray that might be all she wrote.

Greer is still waiver exempt probably has something to do with him not being on the team. Next year he could stick over the waiver pickups . Not sure about Meloche taking 2 more years as he won't be waiver exempt.There are definitely a lot of spots being fought for now and going forward, which is a good thing. I would say always be cautious with prospects but it'll be fun to see how everything plays out.
I don't expect to see Meloche in the NHL for at least 2 more years outside of injuries personally. I also think Greers future with the team looks pretty bleak although I think he will find an NHL job somewhere
Greer is not an NHL player.
I guess we'll see.
We have, hence why he's not on the roster

Jared Bednar, I had no idea you were an avid poster!
Haha.
