Confirmed with Link: Colorado Claims Christopher Wagner (Anaheim)

[tigervixxxen]

Wonder if the Avs were always going to take someone after they basically got rid of Hamilton for free.

Any word on whether Wagner plays tommorow? Ben Street isnt cut out to be in the NHL. Just rewatched the habs game and he stuck out as very bad.

in his presser roy said he would only play tomorrow if Mitchell can't go. apparently mitchell is dtd. if mitchell can't go, then he'll slot into the 3rd line C

sidenote: sick avy. a man of his word. i like that

Street will remain the 4c

 

[CobraAcesS]

yes!! that would be so epic dude

I took it as Wagner would play on the 3rd or 4th line depending on Mitchell's availability. Not the other way around lol...

Thought Street was done if Mitchell is available. Why else would Wagner play above Street?

Let's get back on topic, mkay?

Forget number #62, he is going to wear #36 according to coloradoavalanche.com

Until he can get his 62 jersey is what Chambers said

What kinda scrub jersey is 62 lol

 

[tigervixxxen]

What kinda scrub jersey is 62 lol

Probably was but I think it's cool when guys want to keep their number. Or else it would have been just 36 which is an AHL number anyway.

How does one even go about wearing #62 growing up though lol whenever I played it was just 1-19 and 31 for the other goaltender

Why is a 36 jersey with his name on it more readily available than a 62?

Maybe it's just a blank jersey with only the number on it lol

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

Should have given him #38

I'm sure it was his prospects number, I just mean its cool to keep it.

Naughty, naughty!

Just be better than Cliche and not a 100 pound teenage girl like Street. Everything will be fine.

McLeod-Wagner-Skille line could be a unit of pitbulls. Crazy puck pursuit and energy on that line.

From stats alone he doesn't seem to have much better offensive skills than Cliche (to say the least) but he does have a more physical style of play, which is good. Also, he's still young and Duck fans were upset about losing him so I'm happy with that.

 

[Nzap]

Just realized it was Friberg I wanted to claim before the season not Wagner as I said earlier in the thread.
Oops

I just realized the same thing! I kept seeing people say that Wagner's skating was mediocre to above average and I was remembering how fast he was in preseason but that was Friberg. I do not remember Wagner then.

 

[EdAVSfan]

He's averaging 3 hits per game.
Supposedly has decent speed.
Close to 54% on faceoffs, albeit small sample.
And contributes 1:15 pre game on the PK, meaning he should have some defensive awareness.

If he can chip in 10-15 pts, what more can you ask of a 4th line C?

Ben Street makes Paul Carey look like Dave Semenko.

It wasn't that Cliche didn't have an offensive game, it's just that he didn't contribute to anything other than occasionally blocking a shot on the PK.

I read that first as Dave Schlemko and was like "it still kind of makes sense but that's an odd simile".
