List me all the "special" 4th liners out there.You can still be "special" within the role you're asked to play.

I don't watch enough of the other teams to know. But you do know that they're all not the same, right? Duhaime is a lower end one. That is all. 8 points in 62 games and mostly sucks at fighting, though I guess some credit for willingness.List me all the "special" 4th liners out there.
Andrew Cogliano played at a 5 point over 82 game pace after joining the Avs the year they won a cup. He was plenty "special" when it matteredI don't watch enough of the other teams to know.

I'm glad you guys like your shiny new toy. I'm sure he'll be amped to play tomorrow.Andrew Cogliano played at a 5 point over 82 game pace after joining the Avs the year they won a cup. He was plenty "special" when it mattered
Avs can't afford his next contract, he's purely a rental unless he's taking a pay cut... which I somehow doubt.a 3rd rounder is not a steep price for a guy who will be NHL-able for years yet. He's not some 33 year old on his last legs who can't forecheck or keep up with the play. Well worth whatever infinitesimal odds there are for that 3rd rounder to even suit up for 10 games.
Which is fine. With the arrival of Kovalenko and Landy’s potential return, the Avs probably won’t have room for him long term anyway.Avs can't afford his next contract, he's purely a rental unless he's taking a pay cut... which I somehow doubt.
A pay cut from 1.1M?Avs can't afford his next contract, he's purely a rental unless he's taking a pay cut... which I somehow doubt.
Yup.A pay cut from 1.1M?
Well, the economy is in shambles...A pay cut from 1.1M?
We have a lot of late picks. Quantity over quality. It's not like we can draft anyway.I didn't realize Colorado had picks left to trade
oh yeah i assumed it was a rental--i suppose bringing up age made it sound like it was a long term gig but i only meant to highlight he's not some guy about to be washed out of the NHL. He's there for energy and pace rather than veteran presence or whatever.Avs can't afford his next contract, he's purely a rental unless he's taking a pay cut... which I somehow doubt.
Duhaime isn't being acquired because of his offensive skill. He's a really good forechecker, hits everything, can PK well, has size, and can skate fast enough to fit with the Avs identity, and he's going to be asked to play 10 minutes as a physical nuisance on the 4th line which will be very useful over the course of a/several playoff series.I don't watch enough of the other teams to know.

Can he play defense well pk? Can they forecheck, get under teams skin? It’s definitely. Ice to have a bit of scoring from the fourth line but that’s really not their main focusI don't watch enough of the other teams to know. But you do know that they're all not the same, right?

He will be CO's Kolesar.
There is a possibility if the numbers over the summer are right that he could get a contract moving forward.

This would be pretty questionable.Can he play defense well pk? Can they forecheck, get under teams skin? It’s definitely. Ice to have a bit of scoring from the fourth line but that’s really not their main focus
We still dispose that rat !

That’s what we’d be looking for. People a lot smarter than me think he’s gonna be our 13th. If he can’t be useful for us he’ll sit, and we(Avs fans) sharpen our pitchforks and critique CMACThis would be pretty questionable.
So he’ll elbow guys in the head and play to injure opponents. Sounds so very Wild. Perfect Minnesota player. Evason dream boy.He will be CO's Kolesar.
stick to ballet, then.So he’ll elbow guys in the head and play to injure opponents. Sounds so very Wild. Perfect Minnesota player. Evason dream boy.
Or stick to hockey. Duhaime is a clown... a goon that can skate and barely play hockey. Avs made some good moves, but this wasn't one of them. This guy is more likely to lose them a game with a stupid 5 minute major than do anything of value. And if doing valuable things means cheap shoting our opponents, then I'd rather have a different guy with different skill set. Injuring guys and playing dirty isn't a skill set, it's just a lack of hockey courage.stick to ballet, then.

This is the first Avs player in a while that I won't be rooting for. I hope he sucks and we can scratch him because he's a punk.
What exactly is your bar for "goon"? Is it just "a guy who fights"? I guess that describes him but, again, he loses almost all his fights. He's not an enforcer. He's not scaring people off with his punching prowess.Or stick to hockey. Duhaime is a clown... a goon that can sorta skate and barely play hockey.

Shouldn't have wasted your time responding to that clown.What exactly is your bar for "goon"? Is it just "a guy who fights"? I guess that describes him but, again, he loses almost all his fights. He's not an enforcer. He's not scaring people off with his punching prowess.
He has 8 majors this year, 7 of which were for fighting. The other 5 minute major was a match penalty for boarding Thomas Harley. He's had several boarding penalties in his career, and this was the only one that was deemed worthy of this punishment.
In '22-23 he had 4 majors, all from fighting. In his rookie season, '21-22, he had 10 majors. 9 of those were fighting. The one that wasn't for fighting was a cross check against the Avs, and he picked up a major and misconduct for that. So he's had 2 penalties that could potentially be called "goonish" in his career, both of which were penalized mainly for their proximity to the boards when they occurred.
tl;dr
In 193 career games and 502 hits, he has picked up 2 major penalties, a boarding and a cross check. He also rarely takes minor penalties. He plays a overall clean game and stays out of the box except for when he fights (which he does willingly but poorly).
