Sorry if this is a naive question, but I've been under a rock - are the Avs looking to re-sign Skille? I for one would like to see him return
No one knows, but he was skating with the Avs guys during the informal skates they did. So he is (or was) still in Denver. For all we know he signed for league minimum, and no one reported it.
He definitely didn't sign. From what I understand, the Avs told Skille they're moving on. He just lives in the area now, like Hejda last year.

Happens every year to D men that can still clearly make it as top 6 guys in the NHL. They misjudge their value July 1. Hold out for their price, instead of softening. Then the market falls out, and no one has a spot open for them.

Yeah I was joking with that, Captain serious
There are a lot of people who seriously wonder if he is coming back.

Even 5 years ago, guys at a similar age to Quincey or Ehrhoff would've been signed no problem or a veteran like Weiss. Now they seem to be out of the league even sooner and I'm guessing it's from teams feeling the cap more but more importantly, feeling that their pipeline is good enough to give younger players a chance at those spots instead. It's kind of sad in a way because a lot of these players who had accomplished careers quietly leave the league and never play a game again and end up either somewhere random in Europe or retiring a couple years later with no real announcement.

I've felt pretty confident Skille would get some type of contract or try out simply because "why not?" but that's looking less likely each day.
Speaking of Skille, anyone else notice he doesn't show up on capfriendly's UFA list? That's the only site I check for free agents. I wonder if there any other's being forgotten.
Yeah I know, but the joke about him signing without us knowing was kind of an obvious stab at our media lol. No one has bothered to ask anyone what's going on regarding him, and it's not like he just disappeared either.

If you can find a way to tie DU into the story, maybe you can get Chambers to look into it.
I'm at the Avs practice facility. Skille isn't here but Quincey is skating with all the Avs guys in his Red Wings colors.

Tell him Skille refused to sign because we drafted a bunch of NCAA guys instead of Q guys.

Quincey would be a serviceable 4 on this team. It creates a rather large logjam though with Weir, Gelinas, Bigras, and then Quincey vying for 1 spot.

Bigras ends up in the AHL to start, unless he absolutely blows the coaching staff away, would be my bet. I couldn't care less if Wiercioch and Gelinas sit in the press box all year if it means Barrie has a better year, and the Avs as well.
Someone is inevitably getting hurt, wouldn't be the worst addition.

When you're trying to bring in higher hockey IQ players and quick decision makers, you have to go get Quincey!
Hopefully he's just trying to stay ready for when someone (other than the Avs) calls him. Forget how he left, I just don't think he's a good player. I'd much rather have one those younger guys battle for the last LD spot.
