If Holden is gonna be promoted to top pair next year, i really hope the #1 overall pick is a good one in next year's draft
I am a pretty big Patrick fan, but even a top 5 selection of Foote would make me happy.
Billington was going around to the SA STH talking up Roman Will. They thought Everberg and Rendulic were their best prospects a year ago. There's a lot that goes into my opinion of these things.
Players have choices and it is a 2 way street, those players (especially since Europeans tend to have more options) have to want to come back as well. They could still think highly of all 3, but are not willing to guarantee them NHL spots (or AHL in Will's case). Everberg and Rendulic both made it clear they didn't want to return to the AHL, and I can't blame them (especially with the disaster it was). I also don't blame the Avs to not giving them NHL spots next season. If I was the Avs I would have offered Everberg a deal with an out clause in case he didn't make the team.
