Random question: Why do they almost always pick numbers 60 and above once they come to the Avs/Eagles? Malinski and Polin wore #s 24 and 14 in college.
I think makar wore 59 in rookie campRandom question: Why do they almost always pick numbers 60 and above once they come to the Avs/Eagles? Malinski and Polin wore #s 24 and 14 in college.
Please be better than Meyers.

I think a lot of teams give their rookies/prospects high numbers just so there's no conflict if/when the get called up. Otherwise they have to wear different numbers in the minors as opposed to the majors. In one case, Matt Nieto was given 83 in SJ and as we well know why, he never gave it up.
I'm still curious as to why the Avs and Girard decided to go with 49 instead of 94. I suppose there were/are a lot of 90s numbers on the team already, but I still find it curious.
We usually see guys switch to a lower number (O'Reilly being an exception) once they get established in the NHL. Curious to see who gets 37 next in Colorado--some very notable players have worn that one.
They don't choose in the AHL? I was under the impression that they do. Because it also seems like they have a lot of guys wearing numbers in th 80s and 90s. Or maybe it's a restriction in college like with college basketball (where the numbers don't go over 5 due to the ref signaling with his hand).
Depends what you mean... he'll probably get some games and play on the 3rd and 4th lines when injuries hit. He's a good skater that works hard... doesn't think the game at a high level, doesn't have plus hands or shot. The upside is a worse skating LOC. Maybe that is a NHLer at a low end 3rd line or 4th line level... but he isn't a difference maker at a NHL level. A replacement level guy there at best most likely.Bumped. Any hope for this guy contributing this year... ?
