I mean it’s legal in Denver now, so you can’t really blame them.

It makes it easier to hit the minimum, but really the minimum is so small that it isn't hard to meet.

Forsberg can still play too. Didn’t he play in some game recently where he dominated?
We did just throw away a 2nd round pick for Eller...

Yeah we probably could have done without that lol. Horrible asset management.

There was a time where a PTO could get me worried. But the Avs have shown no hesitation lately in not signing a PTO, or signing them to two-ways and starting them with either a very short leash or actually starting in the AHL.
This is a nothing burger that could actually provide some depth value at best or a two-way contact buried in the AHL at worst.

Quick random question: When a team signs a player to a PTO, what is the financial responsibility for the team?
Any salary? If so, what is the range?
What if the player gets hurt, is there injury compensation?
Just wondering. And yes, it's August.

There is some nuance to this especially as it relates to goalies in the regular season... but rule of thumb, no direct compensation for camp PTOs. There is lodging, food, training facility access, per diem, rights to equipment, and insurance. If there is an injury, typically the medical bills are covered under the insurance (and usually under the team doctor)... but there is no compensation.

I'm trying to remember, players on PTOs are still able to sign with any team at anytime? For all intents and purposes, they are still UFAs they just have a spot in training camp reserved for them with whichever team they sign the PTO with, correct?

Yeah they are free to sign with any team at any time. They can even sign a different PTO with another team if they want.

It's all good. The exchange rate in Colorado makes 2nd round picks worth 7th round picks.

Unless used in a trade. Then they either turn into solid gold or Lars F'in Eller retained.

This invite speaks volumes of the type of players Avs targets in the entry draft and invites to the rookie camp - at this point, I am just chequing it off as "organisational philosophy." Instead of going for a higher calibre skill player that could work like Alex Chaisson, they go after an extremely deep role player thinking he can have some NHL skill in there somewhere or at least be a depth piece in case of injuries.
