Meh. At least he's willing to stick up for him teammates, something we lack. I'd rather have that element take up Dries' minutes than Dries.

I wouldn’t be opposed to that...From the frying pan into the fire
Maybe they plan on him beating up on Grubauer and Varlamov every time they let in a softie?
Can always count on Sakic to sit on his hands say he’s going to do nothing and then BAM!
We do have the top heavy part down. On forward anywayOur Bottom-6 will just be a bunch of AHLers. Like in EA games where you mismanage the cap so your team becomes top heavy with cheap fillers....but without the top heavy part
He's Gourque 2.0 that fights
Sens save 200k, so they have that going for them.
On a serious note, McCormick is a type of a player Bednar will love, throws his weight around, skates around like a man possessed, fight here and there and provides nothing else. Basically, Gorque 2.0 who can fight as Henchy said.
So how do you think this trade originated? Did Sakic call up Dorion about the cost for a Dzingel/Stone or did Dorion call Sakic up in a fool-hardy attempt to re-acquire the Ottawa first round pick?
It probably was not the case, but it is fun to speculate.
"Maybe if I can break the ice with a small meaningless deal now, I can work up to get the 1st rounder out of him later."

Reading Kaut tell the Czech media that he feels like he has to develop himself is worrisome stuff.
JCB was softer than a snowflakeSwapped a snowflake for a snowball.
We win the trade.
Beaudin has always left me wanting more since turning pro, but it’s another relatively high draft pick that got stuck in mud once getting into then Avs pro system. This team seriously can’t develop anyone. Reading Kaut tell the Czech media that he feels like he has to develop himself is worrisome stuff.
So from an infrastructure perspective what exactly are the Avs not doing to develop their prospects? Are there certain roles that they don’t fill (dietician, strength and conditioning coach, etc that other teams do? It could have more to do with their drafting than development as very few if any prospect have struggled in their system and then gone on to success elsewhere. Only one that I can think of is Boychuk.
That's something I must have missed. And extremely concerning. It felt like a few years ago the Avs were starting to turn a corner. Bringing the AHL club closer, more staff in the area, the emphasis on playing in the system before moving up. What's missing? What is this franchise doing wrong?

If I had to guess what's lacking is probably just not enough communication with the players. I think all of those guys really want to know where they stand and how they are doing and how they fit in to the grand scheme of things.
