Looks like a bust most likely by now. Avs tried to play him in NHL, but he was just nervous looking and poor decsision making. Not everyone can make it to the big leagues.
Nah he'll play in the NHL...it'll just be for a different organization.
Been saying that about Siemens since 2013. Duncan The Ugly still here fam.
A lot of players in the AHL have an NHL skillset. It's all in Bigras' mind. He's terrified with the puck, and scared to get hit even though he puts himself in god awful positions to get plastered so much. Unless that changes, he'll never play in the NHL. It also doesn't help that he has a muffin for a shot.
Unlike Dunk the Lunk, Woody actually has an NHL skillset tho. I wanted to believe with Dunk...until I watched general Guenin come down and instantly jump Siemens for PP while displaying much more puck skill.
Lmao the accuracyWe really did **** up with picking that guy. Never pick a player whose balding at 17 ever.
I think it's more being terrified of getting benched than getting hit. My biggest gripe with Bigras for a long time was that he'd take too many hits to make a play, eventually it caught up to him which scared him a bit, but that's faded. This last time around he had the exact same jitters coming out of scratches that Zads did. But Peacock got to play through those jitters and became the monster I always knew he could be...while Woody just kept getting yanked.
He needs to go to a team with a bad D where they'll let him get comfortable in the NHL and stop worrying about getting sent back down.
You should totally call him: "that fish from that movie about fish"; from now on.Bigras reminds me of that fish from that movie about fish. Finding Nemo. You know the one fish in the tank whose scared of everything? Yah that dude whatever his name is. That's what I'm gonna call Chris Bigras from now on.
Isn't that... Nemo? You're going to call him Nemo?Bigras reminds me of that fish from that movie about fish. Finding Nemo. You know the one fish in the tank whose scared of everything? Yah that dude whatever his name is. That's what I'm gonna call Chris Bigras from now on.

Oh yeah. I was thinking of the scene where Nemo is new to the tank.No that's Gurgle.
I'd be surprised if we don't see him traded for another project soon.It's hard to tell what's what with Bigras. Is he so jumpy because he's afraid of physicality or is he so jumpy because he knows there is no room for error with the coach? Either way, the stones has to drop and he has to learn to play out of his comfort zone to have a sliver of a chance to be a NHLer here. I don't really blame Bednar for not wanting to play him when he looks like that but it's possible things could have been handled differently to build the player up.

We'll see about that.Yah, and he'll become a good Blueliner wherever he gets traded.
