Best Month: April (all 5 GP)

Career Highlights:  2008-2009 saw MacKenzie's NHL debut.

Report: As we start to get into the higher numbers, we'll start to run into the cup-of-coffee players like Aaron MacKenzie (although this week will actually be a lot of fun). MacKenzie spent just 9 days on the roster, playing in 5 games, so you won't be getting a thorough analysis from me. He appeared to be a steady player in his own end - one of several smart-and-simple players the Avalanche utilized defensively. It looked like he had a little zip in his shot, but he only has 13 goals in 366 AHL games, so that's probably not something to get all excited about.

It's just 5 games, but he only was on the ice for one goal against - a PP goal by Dallas' Fabian Brunnstrom.

I wish I had a better pic of MacKenzie, but I guess I should be happy that I had one at all.

Fun Fact: MacKenzie has been an AHL teammate of Jason Bacashihua in each of the last 5 seasons

The Aaron MacKenzie Drinking Game: Drink when MacKenzie is on the ice for a EV goal scored by the other team  Drunk potential: None

What I Said Last Year: Probably nothing

2008 Salary (and Cap Number): $475k ($475k)

2009-2010 Status: UFA

Outlook for 2009: MacKenzie is could land pretty much anywhere this offseason - in the AHL, though, not the NHL.

Another poll

rigged like a middle finger for bubblegum. nice.

On a serious note, it’s too bad, although not too surprising, that the person we mostly want back is already gone.

Get rid of the loser point

08-09 Avs- can we decline the penalty?

by TheRed on May 26, 2009 12:06 PM MDT reply actions  

wow

I want to be a signed hockey player–only called up for five games and making $400,000!

I just want Drury back... I recognize the Drury->Morris->Statsny chain, and I stick with the statement.

by wflan on May 27, 2009 1:04 AM MDT reply actions  

he only made about $23,000 for his 9 days with the Avs (and I’m guessing $50-60 grand with Lake Erie). A nice check, but once you start throwing in taxes, agent fees, union dues…
