Tourigny interview on RDS:

-Iginla was there #1 ranked forward, love his leadership, toughness, intangibles etc.

-Still talking to Benoit (seemed a little iffy on it)

-Avs aren't done yet

-Briere will play an offensive role and on the PP

Pretty sure not being done means more trades... which means prepare for the next melt down.

Rangers sign Hunwick 1 year 600k done deal.

Steal.

There's gonna be meltdowns either way.

 

[kitsel]

Thats really interesting.

Maybe that 7x7 rumor about the Lightning was made up.

It must have been. I saw it as did a few others that posted here and it just sounds absurd that nearly ANYONE would turn that down, let alone Niskanen. I mean he's good, but... really?

Curious if this was recent or earlier?

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Avs aren't done? Is that because they have some contracts to move?

I don't see how they could still be talking to Benoit given how many freaking defensemen we have.

 

[CB Joe]

If the Avs are still looking at Benoit, then something is up with the defense. Just too many guys right now.

 

[PAZ]

O'Reilly for Chara

Do you mean he really isn't coming back? ............ You don't realize how much someone meant to you until they are gone......

Niskanen!!!!

kidding. Wonder if ROR will sign today? Barrie maybe? Trade?

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

Not sure. It was posted online, and you can see that Stralman had signed at that point.

 

[hockeyfish]

Not sure if not being done means more new signing and trades, or simply O'Reilly and Barrie getting new contracts. Would be weird if latter. Maybe they make that Kulikov trade finally.

 

[HF007]

I feel like the Avs added experience but only lateral moves so far. Our D is still underwhelming.

 

[S E P H]

The Quincey anyone? sarcasm

 

[UncleRisto]

And now we lose Hunwick for NOTHING?!
I am so mad right now! I want the previous regime!

I think they are probably still trying to sell Wilson to someone.

I would bet money that one of Cliche, McLeod, or Bords gets traded before the season starts. Outside chance of Talbot being traded.

I think Hejda could be on the market. Would not be shocked to see him moved for an asset and another guy signed, Mitchell. Outside chance that the Avs go after Niskanen, moving Barrie or Niskanen to the left side?

Also could just mean that the Avs are working hard to sign Barrie and O'Money. Signing those guys to contracts would go a long ways towards relieving the sting of losing Cashny.

 

[JLo217]

We went after Neal. Curious if they're still looking for a forward. Seems it would be worth adding Kulemin.

Hard to say. I wonder when we pulled out of the Niskanen bidding war. Was it before the Stuart trade and minor signings or were they still trying after that? If it's the latter, they might still be looking to do more than just dump some contracts.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Even though the Avs seem to have some contracts they need to move I cant see anything really being done until Barrie/O'Reilly is completely figured out.

 

[landy92mack29]

so the only avs who tweeted at staz were Duchene/landeskog/o'reilly(that I know of). I'm sure some privately messaged him but I can see mackinnon being upset with him walking out on him in a sence. pauly's dad mentored joe/joe mentored paul/paul could have mentored matt/nate. oh well, bring on bleackley.

 

[JoeSakic13]

You're right....I feel much happier than I anticipated.....

Adding Winchester and Iginla should probably prevent that. Cliche is already looking likely to be in the AHL/waived/traded.
