HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Sven-Ten Appreciation Thread

[Pokecheque]

Here it is, my favorite Andrighetto moment.



The best part (not shown here really) is when Pepsi Center staff keep putting him on the jumbotron and the crowd erupts.

I'm honestly gonna miss the guy. He was snagged in a steal of a deal, and while he wasn't a star was a more-than-capable utility winger who put up some good numbers. Ultimately IMO it was injuries that did him in.

Good, get these goons out of the league.

I think he'll do pretty well overseas.

The Sven-Hartman freakout was pretty funny I guess

Consider that we acquired the guy for Andreas Martinsen. That he's still here alone shows you how good a deal it was. It also gave us this:

 

[Byzantium]

He has always looked good on bigger ice. Anybody know the $ difference between KHL and NLA players? Got to imagine he'd rather play in Switzerland

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Not upset in the least that hes gone. It's been a long time coming.

 

[CoachBadkitten]

One of the only Avs in recent years not scared of shooting the puck whenever he had it.

It's always been a shame he wasn't able to put it all together and be a legit top 6 player for us. I wish him well in the future, but letting him go is the right move.

All the KHL money is tax-free so even $1 million there goes a long way compared to anywhere in North America or western Europe.

It'll depend--he may wish to round out his career back home, or he may wish to pursue $$$ at a higher level of play, which would make the KHL enticing. I'd be fairly surprised if he stuck it out in the NHL at this point though.
