Good for him. He has been a consistent 40-50 point pace with them since being traded. Should be good value for themNiederreiter just got 3x$4M from Winnipeg
He’s the Jeff Spicoli of the NHL. Just wait until he has pizza delivered to the bench during a game and Bednar passes it out to all of his teammates while he watches in disbelief.Don't need to read the GDT, I can bring the giggles here.
How did you boys put up with this clown for as long as you did? I've been an Avalanche fan for twenty years and watched every game from the 16/17 season onwards, in the time I've been watching every game I've not seen anyone this infuriating. I've seen bad, I've seen lazy, I've seen combinations thereof. I've seen players who are done but still do as much as they can, especially in a system that probably demands more than they were capable of. I've never seen anyone like Johansen though. Abysmal.
Meh. There was never going to be a window where Ingram was a starter here. At best he would have been Saros backup until Askarov was ready to be a backup. Glad he's landed on his feet given the issues he fought through. Hope he gets a nice life changing contract after this yearIngram was not as good as Lankinen last year so we chose short term gain over long term potential. Our apparent policy of having guys be completely NHL ready and being hesitant to let guys do some development in the NHL definitely has cost us a few times and this is another example.
Maybe not but we don’t know how our goalie situation is going to play out. Saros has struggled this season and Askarov still isn’t a sure thing to even be a quality backup in the NHL. Ingram is only 26 and is currently one of the top goalies in the league (albeit with a very small sample size). At the very least if we’d kept him over Lankinen it’s just one other option for a trade.Meh. There was never going to be a window where Ingram was a starter here.

I refuse to believe Johansen's fat ass would let anyone else have a slice.He’s the Jeff Spicoli of the NHL. Just wait until he has pizza delivered to the bench during a game and Bednar passes it out to all of his teammates while he watches in disbelief.
He's suffered some pretty serious leg injuries with the Achilles and compartment syndrome. Either one would hobble most people. For a professional athlete, it's less than ideal.I think Joey wasn't that bad until he blew his Achilles. I'm not sure that he's lazy I think he was never fast to begin with and is now even slower. Plus he probably thinks he can coast/not risk another injury since hes on a loaded team like this and save real effort for the playoffs( where he has generally been better than the regular season)
I don't think fans are always as good as we think we are at judging what is effort vs. what is wear and tear.
Also true that aging and/or beat up athletes can't always go 100% all the time. I know that sucks to deal with for guys making so much money but it's a physical reality. Is Johansen lazy? It's possible. I'm just not so certain as some

Gudbranson with a player safety hearing. How in the world did Cousins' hit get downgraded from major to minor?Ex Pred on Ex Pred violence today in Columbus.

Ryan Ellis to Philly for Patrick and Myers ... Patrick flipped for Cody Glass .... only Glass currently in the NHL ... Patrick having to deny rumors that he retired.
Glass as an oft injured , middle six center is still the best return in that series of trades.
