That's...a lot of players.
Not a whole lot of term thrown out with the exception of Compher. What's your read on him, Av?
No clear superstar center available so it'll be committee with Larkin, Copp and Compher. Veleno at 4 can just skate everyone into the ice, hopefully. We will see what Kaspar brings this year!
Compher, Klostin trade, Sprong, Fischer, Ghost, Holl, Reimer, Lyon. Just money, hopefully deal for some picks at the end of the season.
JTC is a pretty good utility guy. He’s not great at one thing, just decent at a lot of things. Took him a LONG time to become the 3rd line center the Avs envisioned him as but he finally took those strides last year (I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the next step in his development as a third liner and reliable penalty killer happened after Darren Helm arrived in Denver).
Good wheels, okay hands, can play a good scrappy defensive game and can create some breakaway chances on the PK. His offense is frustratingly inconsistent but he can play virtually anywhere in the lineup in a pinch. I think $5 million is a bit much for him but that was likely market value after putting up career numbers.
You’ll love him when he’s battling for pucks and leaving it all out there on the ice. When he’s lost his confidence and floating around unsure where to go you’re going to want to hurl large objects at him.
It’s a shame he will now only play one game in his native Chicago because he fucking owns the Hawks whenever he’s there.

It all started with a late hit by G that sent DeBrincat sliding into the boards in pretty dangerous fashion and escalated from there.
