Recalled/Assigned: Everberg recalled

[tigervixxxen]

He got 5 games in the 10 days or so he was down. , so it wasn't entirely bad.

 

[henchman21]

I really want to see him succeed and be on the 3rd line. Prove to Roy that he deserves a spot in the NHL even when Winchester is back.

 

[Skip2myBordyloo]

Better player than Talbot, Cliche, Mcleod, Bordeleau and Briere.

Good move.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Yeah, scored a few goals too, so maybe he'll come back with more offensive confidence.

 

[landy92mack29]

so roy finally realized that Talbot has completely lost his offensive ability. we could have had 2 more goals last game if the puck wasn't on Talbot or cliché stick.

hope for a lineup of:
landeskog-duchene-o'reilly 20+min
tanguay-mitchell-iginla 16-17
mcginn-mackinnon-everberg 16-17
mcleod-talbot-briere 5-8

mackinnon and Mitchell swap once mack gets going and Winchester takes briere spot when healthy.

 

[AvsRobin]

Did we figure out if someone was getting waived or was being put on IR?

There was an open roster spot... nothing needs to happen.

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

I liked the type of game Everberg played down in the AHL. Always went to the front of the net. I think November could shape to be a good month.

 

[Bender]

Yeah, Briere is falling out of favor fast, which is funny, because he has our two GWG's. I actually don't even think he's really been that bad.

I don't either really but I think him and Tanguay had about the same start. Difference is, Tanguay really started skating much better by game #5 or so and Briere hasn't. Maybe he can't anymore but he's still serviceable. Briere will probably move around all year from 3rd line + 2nd PP minutes to 4th line to healthy scratch until the playoffs (if we get there )...

Cliche has been good on the PK this year. McLeod is the one whose terrible 24/7. Unfortunately, he won't be the one sitting.

I saw no more than 2-3 games where Cliche was skating his ass off like he wanted to stay in the lineup. He played one really good game and maybe 2 good games and 7 below average games, in my view.

In that whole time, he made maybe 2 or 3 noticeable plays that were positive and probably 10 poor plays (failed to clear / passed to opposing team / failed to pick up his man). In my opinion, he's just not an NHL caliber player...he's a fringe NHLer. If he skated every single game like he did in that one game he played, he's be a fixture on the 4th line but I don't think this is something he can/will keep up.

 

[StayAtHomeAv]

Looks like RoR is back with Duchene
Everberg get called up
Now show me a top pair left D for our 2016 1st.

 

[AvalancheFan19]

HERE WE GO!

It's super easy to go ahead and bash Cliche because we're all very accustomed to his play last year. However, he hasn't been ATROCIOUS this year. I want to keep him up merely for the PK. McLeod should sit, but we all know there's 0 chance that happens.

I agree.. However McLeod is down to fight (or get his ass kicked) for the team. We do not have another player like that. Until Bordeleau is back, we need the guy.

Unless it's a goon-it-up team like St. Louis, I'm fine with the Avs benching McLeod until such time. In the offensive end he's somewhat competent, the guy can forecheck quite well when he's on. But his defensive game has gone from bad to freak-show.

And yes, there's another player who's down to fight on the roster. Iginla.

+Everberg, Winchester and Bordeleau

-Cliche, Talbot, McLeod

Please.

Please.

have to wait awhile for bordy

 

[CobraAcesS]

I'm guessing Briere comes out of the lineup, just because I want it to be Cliche. I doubt Everbeast would have been called up if he wasn't going to play.

 

[cgf]

Sweet. Hopefully this means Cliche isn't long for the main lineup. Though it does make me worry about Winchester's recovery.

 

[Avs For Life]

Is anyone else ready for a bit of a youth movement?

Everbeast is a start. I would rather see Hishon than Briere... Siemens over Guenin or Wilson...

Im probably in the minority there.

Hishon and Siemens need AHL time.

 

[Pokecheque]

Hishon and Siemens need AHL time.

Yeah, but I can't argue with the sentiment there. I think we'd all rather see Hishon/Siemens/Everberg over Guenin/Wilson/Whatever.

 

[Aves Fren]

Mission Free Redmond and Everberg complete. Mission Win Games now in effect.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Now the trick is them playing in the same game. And having O'Reilly and Duchene together too.

[Lonewolfe2015]

Not in the least bit, I've said the same thing a few times. With Mitchell back we can leave Hishon down in the AHL. But I think Siemens would be an upgrade on Holden or Stuart right now.

 

[The Shermanator]

Hishon and Siemens need AHL time.

Yeah. I just checked out their AHL stats. Not impressive.

 

[hockeyfish]

So wait, did Winchester have a set-back, or is someone getting dumped off the roster?
