If Ehrhoff retires in the next couple years, we would have been hit with a huge cap penalty. Actually glad we bought him out.

Almost never happens

unless you are sneaky Kovalchuk...but just to go sign in Russia for more money that you left on the table in your NHL deal

Were we really in talks with Franson, or was that just someone screwing around and starting a rumor?

some guy on twitter claims he saw him with some sabres brass at canalside

Glad the Avs got Grigo signed and he can get a fair shake and playing for a coach that he knows.... Didn't mind seeing him go because I don't think he would of ever signed another 2 way deal

Carry on

Anyone go on Buffalorange regularly? I haven't been on in forever and I know it went down for a while. I went on a few times last fall but it didn't have the same amount of traffic it use to. Is it still quiet? Or back to being a pretty frequent fan site?

Haha! So that's a big no!

I wonder what the cost for Mark Streit would be
- chilliard77

Not sure but I'd rather have him than Franson.

No trade clause so we'd have to be on his list.

Me too, decent term at 2 more years, left hand shot, overall better than Franson. I bet the flyers would want a decent amount for him though

Well scratch him off the "to do" list.

we had one of those last season or the year before. Stats were great but we hated him.

I don't.

Zads was the key piece, Grigo and Compher were just nice pieces to add for 2 guys in ROR and Mcginn that probably wouldnt be on the Avs in 2016-17 season.
Honestly we can't hate the deal bw our clubs, we both got exactly what we wanted even though the Avs might have taken on more risk with the lesser established commodities, but its the gamble and trade they needed to make

I agree, I was more so laughing at the thought of fans being so upset we lost Grigerenko.. To me they handled him completely wrong. He shouldn't have been rushed in obviously but last year he should have came up here sooner and played top line minutes for the rest of the year to see if he was worthy of the 12th pick just two years prior. Once we got Reinhart and Eichel he no longer had a purpose on this team. He maybe could've become a nice 2nd line winger eventually but our center depth is so deep that it was good to ship him off. Zadorov is a risk but we'll see how he turns out.
