How many games will Conor Timmins play for the Avalanche in his career?

[Ceremony]

For what seems like a long time now I've seen people posting potential line-ups and rosters who operate under the assumption that Timmins will be in some way relevant. To put it briefly, I have my doubts.

With that in mind, here's a fun exercise. He's currently played two regular season games and two playoffs. He looked wildly out of his depth in all of them, he has a significant history of concussions, and he's currently signed for one more year where he will be an RFA. Stick your neck out. How will he do?

156. Exactly eleven games every season for the next fourteen years.

 

[Nihiliste]

<10 games.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

I'm being optimistic and saying 300-400.



I have injury concerns. But I dont believe his last injury was a concussion and I have hoped that he'll be healthy and able to play in the NHL moving forward.


I think we get 4-5 years out of him in Colorado before he is ultimately traded or leaves as a free agent.

My gut... 100-150. I'm thinking 30-40 this season. Then 50ish the following season. Then some odd amount the season after that until the Avs give up.

My brain... 200-300. He establishes himself as a solid player and carves out a role for 4-5 seasons before he's a casualty.

My heart.... 1000+

This question makes me nervous.

Taking a guess without confirmation of what his injury in the playoffs was would be premature.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Not many. The way he went down in playoffs, damn. Tough to see the kid survive in NHL.

You are probably right, but the fact that we all wince or hold our breath when he goes down doesn’t bode well. As much as I like Timmins I would be okay with finding a buyer while he has value. I just don’t trust him to hold up in the NHL.

We're unlikely to ever get that confirmation. We still don't know what killed Wilson.

You think we will get 4-5 MORE years out of him or 4-5 total years?

 

[Avsboy]

1000+ would make him an Avs legend. We can all dream.

Lower body injury...

 

[UncleRisto]

Lower body injury...

A streetcar rolled over both his insteps.

 

[henchman21]

A streetcar rolled over both his insteps.

I was thinking gangrene.

 

[Avsboy]

Wilson was serving meals at some kind of charity in a video and had an arm cast and sling. He must have had major upper body surgery.

 

[UncleRisto]

I was thinking gangrene.

Caused by the streetcar accident!

I think we cracked this case.

 

[dahrougem2]

2-50.

He just can't stay healthy. As much as it sucks, I believe Sakic and co. drafted Barron as insurance for Timmins.

 

[Emell]

All of them

 

[nightonthesun]

Obviously the most recent injury gives us cause to think this is how it'll be, and after watching injuries pile up for Kamenev and wipe out his promising start, I think maybe my 100-150 estimate might be optimistic. It's distressing to still have seen so little of Timmins. I don't even have more than a foggy idea of what he brings to the table in the first place.

 

[Patagonia]

Nearly 50% voted for under 100 games. I believe other GMs would have the same results. Doubtful offering anything meaningful in a trade.

AVs keep him allowing him to marinate longer. Sakic seems to be preparing he never recovers. The Barron/Helleson picks and Toews trade shifts Cole and possibly Girard to RD.

I expect RHD is the next player being added.

 

[UncleRisto]

The Barron/Helleson picks and Toews trade shifts Cole and possibly Girard to RD.

We'll see about that. Although yeah the picks are certainly that, I think.

 

[the_fan]

Good thing Avs drafted Barron because I have my concerns about Timmins and his concussion history

 

[Metallo]

He will break Patrick Marleau’s record for games played, all in an Avs jersey.

 

[McMetal]

I refuse to vote in this because I don't want to jinx him. I had him rated in he teens in 2017 and was thrilled we got him in the 2nd, and given all the shit he's gone through I am really rooting for him despite my fears.
