I think he's got a solid shot at being a go-to top 4D and captain in the AHL. I probably wouldn't have signed him to an ELC right away, but the organizational depth on defense is really needed for the Eagles next year (maybe a sign they tried and couldn't get Helleson to come out?). Avs keep rewarding the prospects on the upward trend in their development. 3 'early' signings in the past week. Wouldn't be shocked to see another one soon.

Man, the Eagles went from 5 to 100 in watchability real fast.

 

[McMetal]

Loading up on youth for the Eagles next year. Colorado kid, so I'm rooting for him to someday put on the Avs sweater, even if it's unlikely. But hey, if MacDonald and Renouf could make it, even for a little while, maybe Clurman can too.

 

[The Kingslayer]

I remember people were excited about this dude after the Avs drafted him very late.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Good for him. Surprised to see this signing but another prospect added to the fold.


Avs are doing pretty good for an organization that "doesn't sign it's prospects"

Nate's skated off and on (mainly during school breaks the past few years) with my pickup group in Superior - dude is the nicest guy out there, and it feels like every time he comes back from break, he's 20 pounds bigger and two inches taller. He's very hard to root against.

I'm glad the team is just stacking up these big RHDs; if even one of them end up being a right handed Ryan Graves+, I'm content.

Josh Manson has the 2nd highest similarity score to Clurman. Steal.

I don't think Clurman plays as tough or physical as Manson does, Clurman is more about skating and shutdown techniques via cerebral attributes. How high his cerebral play is, probably determines how far he'll go in the pros.

I know you were joking, but there's some facts behind your post no?

What we want to know is did he turn you into sieve?

Ingrate! Odin makes you 6’2” and you waste it like that!

I know you were joking, but there's some facts behind your post no?

It is from a statistical model that attempts to track similarities between players big stats (g, a, p, pim, etc) to how they could progress. I think it is far too simplistic to be accurate or used as facts.

The only time these types of things should be used as facts is if they support MacDonald as the best player in the league.

He's certainly not soft... he's just not mean.

Then explain to me why Odin decided to make a 6'3" and 246 lbs Ryan Stoa?

 

[CoachBadkitten]

Nate was my assigned new student buddy in middle school because we both played hockey. Needless to say he was and is about a million times better.

Love to see him succeed and I so badly want him to get some NHL time. He was just the absolute best kind of person.

I was a sieve long before I met Nate.

Did he put one into your chest out of pity?

I think he has more fun setting up people that rarely get an opportunity.

Who do you think the other might be?

Foudy or a Russian would make the most sense. Leivermann is probably the most available to be signed right at this moment. So one of those four. Hedging bets!

(I have no earthly idea if nobody can tell)
