Confirmed with Link: Avs Sign Dominic Toninato to ELC

[UncleRisto]

So if he makes it, who's the comparable? I like these for the bottom-6 grinders because you can't just throw around a star player comparable.

 

[CoachBadkitten]

Hard not to like this for now. Leafs fans seem to think he has some NHL upside.

 

[agentblack]

Leafs fans think the hot dog guy has NHL upside.

Some Leafs fan was saying something like the 30pts version of Dominic Moore.

Winnik is a name I'd throw out.

FRANK! I miss that guy

also, why did they call him Frank?

that is a truthfact

But Kessel did make the NHL.

 

[Rumplesnipeskin]

I would love if he turned into a Jay McClement for us, that guy was an under-the-radar difference maker when he was here

 

[Freudian]

Prediction. By December he'll replace Yakupov on the fourth line.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Hard to not like this signing. Much needed depth and shows we are going after college players. Sounds like this guy could be a solid 4th liner if he makes it to the nhl.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Is this real life? Good job Avs, took you over two decades but you finally made your first college UFA signing.

Looking forward to seeing how he performs with the Rampage this year. Hopefully they're less of a train wreck.

 

[Menzinger]

Leafs fan here.

Good move. Has some issues skating, but is strong defensively, and has a good shot.

Think he can be a good 4C, was annoyed the Leafs didn't sign him.

 

[Lonewolfe2015]

Quick, re-do the prospect polls!

 

[LTC Pain]

Good job Sakic. You surprised me

I'd assume it had something to do with the columbus PBP guys getting drunk one night and having no idea who on the avs was who, that's where Steve Varmalov came from

 

[ASmileyFace]

Whattttt we signed a college UFA?

 

[AvsFan2123]

Where would he fit in our prospect rankings? I'm thinking just outside our top 10 in the 11-13 range.

IMO mid to late teens

 

[LieutenantDangle]

Oh, great another Captain to try and fit into the locker room. Just what we need, another 'leader' to butt heads with all the other captains we're bringing into the fold

 

[McMetal]

Absolutely no higher than 14, more like 17. We don't yet know how his offense (such as it is) will translate to the pros. There's no way he should be bumping down guys like Lindholm and Morrison.

We're gonna have a vote to find out!

 

[CalderKing21]

Not bad Mr. Sakic, not bad at all. Well played.

 

[Bubba Thudd]

Poor Tomtomato, thought he was signing with COLumbus, found out it was COLorado.
