SNAPSHOTS: Visit to Denver sparks fond memories for Senators head coach D.J. Smith
DENVER — A trip back to the Rocky Mountains is always a skate down memory lane for D.J. Smith. “It’s the site of the only year I was in the NHL,” the Ottawa Senators head coach recalled before his team faced the Colorado Avalanche at Ball Arena on Saturday night. Drafted by the New York Islanders in Round 2 in 1995, Smith’s pro hockey career began spent in the American Hockey League. He played six seasons with the St. John’s Maple Leafs and two with the Hershey Bears.
Martin Kaut, Shane Bowers Placed On Waivers By Avalanche
Two former first-round NHL draftees – Martin Kaut and Shane Bowers – are now available for any team to take, for a pittance. The Colorado Avalanche this morning placed them both on waivers, so unless they are claimed by any of the other 31 clubs, they’ll both be ticketed – again – for the Colorado Eagles. I won’t be surprised if one or both are claimed. There are some teams out there that might just be tempted enough to claim them and make them a rehab project.
Avalanche Have Several Prospects All Battling for Playing Time
The Colorado Avalanche offseason is, for the most part, complete after the signing of defenseman Ryan Murray to a one-year, $2 million deal. General manager (GM) Joe Sakic was correct when he stated last season that the Avalanche will have as deep of a team as they were going to have in a run for the Cup. There is no doubt the current team has gotten a pretty good-sized face lift and looks quite different from the team that won the Presidents’ Trophy last year.
Identifying buyers and sellers as the deadline approaches
The trade deadline is one of the trickiest times of the year for NHL general managers. Should contenders trust their current roster, or bring in reinforcements? And should bubble teams try to compete with the top dogs? Last year, the Columbus Blue Jackets went all-in, acquiring Ryan Dzingel and Matt Duchene to take a run at the Stanley Cup. They went on to squeeze into the playoffs and shockingly sweep the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round, but then bowed out in the second.
