Byram joining Avs in Playoffs

[Makar Goes Fast]

Yet another of Colorado's blue-chip D prospects...

Imagine we still had number one dmen Matt hunwick And nick Holden and shut down number 2 Greg Zanon on the team we would be unstoppable.

Bryam's contract doesn't kick in until he's played 9 games. Again, where does it say that the NHL has a problem with the contracts?

I don’t know. It’s not really my problem. It’s pretty clear the league is trying to prevent raiding of other leagues’ players who wouldn’t have otherwise been eligible for the playoff run. How they determine who should be included in that is probably a fair question. But Byram’s situation is irrelevant. As of the roster freeze he was good to go for a call-up as soon as the WHL season concluded. That’s still the case. Your argument isn’t with Byram, it’s with the league.

Same with Kaprizov, Sokolov and Romanov. The NHL's inconsistency is handling this is a major problem.

Kaprizov and Romanov were not signed as of the roster freeze. I don’t know anything about Sokolov.

How could you forget Guenin? The man could point like you wouldn't believe.

Because they couldn't be signed and the NHL prevented them from signing. Again, this isn't about contracts. It's about adding players that weren't on the roster at the start of the season.

They couldn’t be signed because they were currently under contract overseas, making it entirely different from Byram who was under contract with the Avalanche.

If only Skoula were born 20 years latter.

The Poise & Point pairing would have broken the league. As a fan of hockey in general, I'm glad it didn't happen.

Byram's contract has already kicked in, he just hasn't burned a year of it.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Based off his showing at the WJC, he wouldn’t be able to hold his own in the NHL playoffs

You mean when he played 9:14 in the 3rd period of the Gold Medal game and led Team Canada in ice time.

 

[AvsFan29]

Makar would have to be fool to lock into a long term commitment in a flat cap world. He will almost certainly sign a bridge deal as a result to set up his payday in the future.

What if he wants to be an Av long term and signs a team friendly contract?

If he would've had some points he would be able to hold his own in the NHL playoffs but since he didn't well he isn't good enough defensively

I think expectations were high in the WJC but people focused too much on his offense where we Avs fans prefer him to be better defensively and I think he was pretty good. To be trusted like that in the 3rd period in a Gold Medal game as a 18 years old kid that says alot IMO.

Unless covid ravages the avs I doubt he sees ice. They have tons of vet dmen to fill in and timmins would prob be the young guy to be a spark if needed.

Just because he wants to be an Av long term, doesn't mean he would do something short-sighted.

He would have to be a fool - and have an incompetent agent - to make a long term commitment in what is quite obviously a short term cash strapped world.
