I love how he had to give himself props. He's such a tool with a severe inferiority complex.
Confirmed with Link: [COL/MIN] Ian Cole for Greg Pateryn

Equipment guy: “Hey Bedsy, what number do you want to give Pateryn?”
Bendar: “Just give him a number that we know an important defenceman might not want down the line.”
Equipment guy: “80 is more of a wide receiver number than a hockey number. That work for you?”
Bednar: “Fine by me. If he asks for a different one, let him know the players exit is on the southwest side of the building.”

I read a whole article about it once, they bring a few extra jerseys on the road for situations like this but may not have the capability to make up a whole jersey for new guy at a moment’s notice so that’s why weird numbers happen for a little bit. Remember when we picked up Wagner on waivers and he was 62 or something like that until the team got home? But hey if he just likes 80 then more power to him lol

Interesting snippet from an article on nhl.com, where Guerin says that it was Sakic who approached him about Cole being available.

Not surprising. Tough to imagine another GM coming to Sakic saying "Cole is what we need." No offense larueskee
But he will be missed

Seriously. Now he's harping that Byram might play tomorrow, wonder how he managed to put two and two together on that one...

Saying he is crazy for speculation would be him claiming the Avs are trading Mac and then it happens. No-one in the world would believe that speculation and that would be a major pat on the back if he was right on that.
Speculating that a bottom pairing defenseman on his last year may be moved to clear space isn't crazy nor is it a scoop.

Yeah this entire board had discussed the viability of trading Cole long before Dater wrote his speculative article. Not to toot my own horn but I even made a thread about a Cole trade on the main boards last week. It hardly took a genius to figure out that Cole would be the first one to get shipped out if we needed capspace and if Timmins and Byram were the real deal to start the season. I guess credit to Dater for at least realising and stating the obvious though.

I hate Dater more than anyone but I’m still giving him plenty of credit on a job well done here. He said the Avs were looking into treading Ian Cole. A few days later Friedman piggybacks what Dater says. Then a week later he’s traded and Guerin comes out and says that Sakic called and said he’s made Cole available.
Say what you want about Dater. Say he made a guess. Say he’s a clown. Say anything. But the fact is he was right.

I said it earlier he put it out there. Maybe Dater got lucky but I think it’s fine to say he got that right. But then he follows it up by saying Byram might sign his ELC soon is just such a mind blowing show of ignorance it’s incredible so tough to bank up a lot of credit there.

So has Greg set a record for most roster numbers in a single season? First he was listed as #80, then the Avs said he’d wear #28, then he ends up with #5.

If you guess random Avs stuff every day at some point you will get it right, especially if the guess makes sense.
Dater is full of shit and gets things wrong so often thats he has become a joke.

This needed to happen. I’m glad it did.
When you’re a team with aspirations, you can’t have guys like this on the roster.
It might be fair to say he sabotaged the Avs in the playoffs. It might also be too strong to say he sabotaged the Avs in the playoffs. But it’s certainly fair to question whether he’s one of the guys who grew tired of the bubble and mailed it in.
He was so bad. It’s strange to see discussion of him wanting another contract after that. So bad.

He’s a 7D. I didn’t think he was great, but he’ll be an upgrade over Barberio and Connauton from last year.
He played well on the PK, before taking that penalty. If he gets into games moving forward I hope Bednar can keep him around 10 minutes.
