Both drafted by the avs early in the second round. Who projects to be the better d man in the future?
It's make or break time for Bigras, this year won't be the year, but if he doesn't take some significant steps forward my hope in him will greatly diminish.
If he doesn't make the team straight out of the camp with that lineup he's the next Stefan Elliott in my book.
Its so sad that we keep drafting D in a 1st or 2nd round, Siemens who might be a bust and Elliot a bust. Bigras was rated to have above average hockey IQ, good speed. I seemed to like him when he played a few games for Avs. What is he lacking? How could someone like Mironov just who was drafted in later rounds just pass him like that in lineup.
Mironov hasn't exactly passed him up, he just is guaranteed a spot because he's not going to the AHL. Doesn't mean he's going to be good at the NHL level.Its so sad that we keep drafting D in a 1st or 2nd round, Siemens who might be a bust and Elliot a bust.

I was very hyped up when Bigras was drafted by Avs and there were so many positive reviews of him.

Timmins I like, and he has puck skills which is nice, but the skating does worry me a tad.
Bigras, wether it's with us or someone else. Skating, IQ, accurate passer and reliable defensively. How can you screw up a prospect like that?
I wonder what's the success rate of players with horrible skating during their draft year...how many of those managed to fix it? Grigs comes to mind but I don't think we can count it as truly "fixed".
A good part of skating is natural ability, unfortunately.
Bigras was one of the best skaters of his draft year. The way you hate everyone on this roster it must be hard to be an avs fan. I don't get it.By not having any of those things at the nhl level.
