Devon Toews is underpaid

[Arto Kilponen]

Making his season debut right now. Pretty quiet start, not a lot of ice-time. Was creating Avalanche powerplay goal (which officially wasn't a powerplay goal since the penalty had just expired), but one too many passes took his assist away.

This can only get better from here.

After two periods, very little ice-time (14:39), only 20 shifts and a +1 rating. Clearly the shoulder is slowing him down, but I guess it was expected.

Odd bump.

He’s going to end up playing 23 minutes in his first game back.

Yeah, he's been out for so long that it doesn't surprise that his minutes are down.

That is not a small amount of minutes.

 

[Arto Kilponen]

For him, that is. Last season he played occasionally almost 30 in games.

Girard = Letang 2.0

Yeah right

 

[Arto Kilponen]

On season debut pretty lame numbers. Only +1 with 30 shifts, 21:08 of ice time, one shot, one hit, one blocked shot.

Like said, only can get better from here.

Devon Toews is looking like a stud out there for the Colorado Avalanche and will only cost 4.1M for another 3 seasons. What a coup by Joe Sakic to get him for only a couple of draft picks.

GP: 24, G:4, A:11, PTS: 15, +\-: 13, PIM: 4

Like the Avalanche needed even more talent on the back end to go with Makar, Byram, and Girard.

If you feel sorry for him, start a "GoFundMe" page for him...

Almost 15 minutes in 2 periods is pretty much what he would have played last season

 

[Arto Kilponen]

Slightly better game against Canucks than against Blue Jackets.

He missed a pass from Compher and that turned into Canucks opening goal.

Ice-time still isn't really what it should be, but getting a bit better.

 

[Arto Kilponen]

And now they cut his ice-time again. I think it is some kind of injury that is slowing him down.

21:23 is almost five minutes down from last game, that's really disappointing. One goal tonight and a +4 so far.

No pro athlete is overpaid. For Pete's sake, career AHL guys that get NHL deals get $70,000 at least a year to play hockey for a living, which is good money to not have to be a factory worker/minimum wage worker/etc and getting to do something most of them love to do.

You don't need to run your defensemen into the ground in a 6-2 game. Makar led the defense in ice time with a whopping 21:40. Toews was second.

Lol….that’s plenty of TOI you’re being ridiculous…

I’m enjoying the nightly bump by this obsessed poster.

You clearly dont know what you are talking about, actually it kind of hilarous how wrong you are

Imagine if the Avs are ever actually healthy.

Imagine is a perfect word here bc it’s not going to happen anytime soon. The Avs are loosing a player every game or two. It’s laughable tbh. I’m aware other teams deal with injuries but it seems to be a an ongoing issue season after season. Without looking at injury games lost, I can only think of the Penguins that’s dealt with the amount and level of importance players going down.

One day we will be

One day we will be

One day I will win the lottery

 

[ISensFanI]

What a great player

 

[AvsFan29]

One day I will win the lottery

Then you can afford Avs SCF tickets

After Toews debuted this season, Colorado is 3-0-1 and Toews has four points and +/- positive in all four games.

Edit. 3-1-0, not 3-0-1.

Yeah, he’s damn good and the team missed him.

How did you like his ice time total tonight?

OP is a genius.
