I have come to the conclusion that we could sign just about any "Nobody forward" off free agency or the waiver wire and they will come in and and post decent numbers for the Avs.
My guess is there is something in the Colorado water. But I have been impressed with Pajamas so far. Sure he isn't the best player out there, but he is definitely doing more than anybody thought he would. And certainly exceeding the expectations that he was brought in for.
I mean, I don't want to overreact on just a few games, but from what I've seen so far, this has been a great signing.
I don't know that Plushy belongs on the bottom 6.
If we don't have a place for him on the top 6, I think we have to trade him.
We can play him this year, hopefully, and let him rack up some points and some value.
Then get something for him at the deadline.
Getting something for a freebie would sit okay with me.
(He isn't signed beyond this year, is he?)
(Maybe sign him to a 2-way, send him down, and trade him when/if we can?)

Just a quick clarification please.
Pajamas shows up looking like a 2 way contract on CapGeek. Since we claimed him off waivers, how long is it before he can be sent down if his play does drop off?
He'll always have to go through waivers.
Only way we can "send" him down without waivers is to sign him to a new deal in the summer and start him in the AHL.
The only difference between a 2-way deal and a 1-way deal is that 2-way deals have different wages in AHL and NHL.
Palushaj has a good snap shot, I've yet to really see him use anything else effectively. His positioning is good, but his balance and skating are weak as well as his strength with the puck. He hasn't shown me anything that really screams strong passer either.
Seems like he's destined to be another one of the long line of Stastny wingers he gels with and temporarily elevates and will then flame out. I'd love to be wrong though, he has potential if he takes this opportunity and works hard over the summer to improve his strength and skating.
From what I've seen I don't think he'll amount to much. He should be in the ahl soon enough. Still early tho.
his skating and passing are actually among his strengths.Palushaj has a good snap shot, I've yet to really see him use anything else effectively.
