Sure camp should be an open competition but I think Rendulic will go down myself. There are a lot of bodies contracted already too. What are they going to do with Caron as well, who knows.

If they decide to move MacK to centre for next season and go back to the 3C mould with Duchene/MacKinnon/ROR, I can see Rendulic making this team. Then you've got 6 wingers to work with for the top 3 lines: Landeskog, Tanguay, Iginla, Everberg, McGinn, and someone else. That someone else if I was a betting man would be Rendulic.
Then run a 4th line of McLeod-Mitchell-Caron/Bordeleau/Heard/Any goon for a game vs Minnesota

Agreed 100%, and I think Roy really wanted this as well.
I think Roy might see more potential in him then just a 3rd liner. From the quotes he's given the last few days, it sounds to me like he believes that Everberg could develop a decent enough offensive game to be a 2nd liner, or a 2/3 tweener going forward.
It's awesome that he basically played himself onto the team and forced Roy's hand, but I also think without a doubt it would have benefited him from playing 1st line minutes and probably putting up a 50+ point season in Lake Erie as well.
Regardless, I think he's making it pretty clear that he's going to be at least a very good 3rd liner for us in a couple years, and I think Roy believes he could be a 15G, 40 Point guy for us as well and a 2/3 liner rather then just a 3rd line Defensive guy.
Fantastic signing though. Both he and Rendulic are looking like good solid signings, could very well make up 2/3's of our 3rd line in a few years, which is fantastic for undrafted prospect signings.
Yeah, maybe. If Winchester is healthy I would guess Rendulic is still in LE just because of his waiver status.

I really think this is how the Avs are going to speed rebuild their prospects. We started seeing it last year, and would not be surprised to see us pick up a few college UFAs, CHL overagers, and lesser known European players. It's really too bad the Rangers managed to outbid us for Kevin Hayes, an Everbeast-Hayes-Rendulic third line would have been pretty clutch to have.

Henley's going to be a player to. Probably just a 4th liner, but he'll be the 4th line C we had hoped Winch would be, if his brain hadn't gotten scrambled.

That would be an even bigger stretch than reaching down to the 2nd division in Sweden and grabbing Everberg.
Martinsen is already on NHL teams radar since he's been to a training camp, so the Avs likely aren't alone. He is a few years older than Everberg and Rendulic though.
Really? I have never seen him play except six years ago and a short clip of him here and there. But a guy who has had ONE productive season in DEL and who is already 24 years old? Maybe he is awesome. But on paper, a bigger stretch than Everberg.
I hope we don't overlook the KHL.

Yeah that's the reason why I think they might try to sign him. He plays both C and W, has size, physical and is reliable defensively. Seems like Roy's kind of players.

So THAT'S why they signed him
Now just waiting on the Rendulic picture as a young child in an Avs sweater and it'll be gold. The Wild are trying to acquire all the talent from Minnesota, we're trying to acquire all the talent that cheered for the Avs as kids

Well the original plan for both Everberg and Rendulic was to play 1-2 years in the minors before playing for the Avs, so that likely would be the case for for Martinsen as well. Just trying to replenish that callup depth.

I'd say 25-30 points given some actual linemates and a staple on the penalty kill and the 3rd line. And I'm more than fine with that. Everberg has slowly become one of my favourite players to the point where I'm going to buy his jersey lol

Not sure if the quotes are stolen from north america or only excist here in Sweden? Otherwise maybe someone who has time over could translate

That's awesome. I hope so. He might be the least complained about player around here too.

Dennis has really become the best shot blocker on the team, and IMO one of the better guys in the league. I don't think he get enough credit for this. It's not just his anticipation and willingness that gets the job done, he reacts to the shot like a goalie and moves into it. Makes a lot of leg saves where he kicks out or lays his leg down to stop it. He's kind of a bit of a throw back to when you saw bottom six guys specialize in this and use it all the time. It's not really done as much anymore.
I noticed him doing this well toward the beginning of the season, but he's gotten more and more confident in his ability to do so, and has just gotten better and better at it as the season's gone along.
It's really added a huge element to the team, because shot blocks are obviously very important, but Varly doesn't like his guys blocking his sight lines so they don't always do it. If you have a guy like Everberg who you know will get the puck and not just screen Varly, it really limits a lot of those point shot/rebound type of dangerous chances with a crowd in front that has become one of the main strategies to score in the NHL.
