ThinkTank posted:So is Kovalchuk the only interesting free agent left? The rest of the list is basically him, Cody Franson, Drew Stafford and Johnny Oduya. Vanek and Jagr! Also, now we're into the RFA drama part of the year.

Cody franson is still a decent 2-4 guy, no? He just asking too much or is everyone really so happy with their defence?

Now I can forget Yakupov exists, much like I do with the entire Avalanche organization for months at a time.

Cody Franson is fools' gold. You could do worse as a 5-6 guy I suppose but anything more than that would be a mistake

If they want Yak to be useful, they should probably play him on Duchene's wing but I don't think they'll do that (if Duchene is even on the Avs at the start of the year).

Ok, so the answer to "Who would want to go to the Avs right now?" is Nail Yakupov.

Ya thats why I said they have to add 5 players to the roster? They only have 18 players signed atm. Those two players had 35 points between them over a full season. They can probably replace that with like Drew Staffoed or maybe even Thomas Vanek!!! Darude - Adam Sandstorm fucked around with this message at 19:53 on Jul 4, 2017 |

If I'm the avs I give him all the pp time and staple him to better players to fool some dumb gm at the deadline into thinking he's a good player. I mean, they're hosed this year anyway, so might as well make a point to flip assets and stockpile picks and prospects.

Franson is a competent bottom-pair defender who used to put up good possession against weak comp and have good power play numbers. The PP has dried up a little for him and he's a big slow guy so his errors usually end up looking real bad, but he's definitely a depth option that someone should sign.

most forwards enter their prime years at the age yakupov is still trying to figure it out. it's easier to say that despite having immense tools he's a marginal player who can't think the game.

Because there were so many people inquiring about it, the Oilers are having the memorial service for Dave Semenko in Rogers Place. http://edmontonjournal.com/sports/h...om-for-a-reason They're expecting 4,000+, quote:Will it happen for most of the others?
