Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

Tick...tick...tick...

The clock is ticking on UFA signings.  

In the Avs organization, there are 8 UFAs: Tomas Fleischmann (LW), David Koci (LW), Peter Budaj (G), Shawn Belle (D), Ben Walter (C), Julian Talbot (C), Jason Bacashihua (G), and John Grahame (G).  Capgeek also has Foote and Forsberg listed as UFAs, but since we're already talking about going to their jersey retirement ceremonies, I'm pretty sure they won't be playing for us or anyone else next year.  

Besides that, there are 2 RFAs that were not given qualifying offers, and therefore become UFAs tomorrow:  Philippe Dupuis (C) and Brian Elliott (G). 

There are also 4 RFAs that were given qualifying offers, but have not been signed yet:  Ryan Wilson (D), T.J. Galiardi (LW), Kevin Porter (LW sometimes), and Kyle Cumiskey (D).  This means that since June 26th, other teams have been able to give them offer sheets, but the Avs have the chance to counter if offers are made.  

And there are 3 unresolved RFAs (meaning we don't know what's going on with them):  Ray Macias (D), Tom Fritsche (LW), and Harrison Reed (C).  

Also - this article may help explain the RFA process to those of us who might not fully understand it.  And yes, I do include myself in that.  

I'll update this throughout the night if anything changes, but as of right now (10:05 PM), that is where the Avs stand.

UPDATE (clarification) via TSNBobMcKenzie:   Please note free agency period does not begin at midnight tonight, it starts at 12 noon ET Friday.

So should I get up early tomorrow? or am I OK to sleep in?

Datsyuk may have done it first, but he learned it from Peter Forsberg.

Thanks for everything Foppa!

I think that depends on whether or not Sherman wakes up early tomorrow or decides to sleep in.

Please do. But don’t interrupt if the line is busy. It could be Vokoun.

I hope nobody was planning for a late night. I guess I should’ve done my free agency post, after all. /sigh

Well, strange things have been known to happen in the middle of the night from the Avs. A certain blockbuster trade comes to mind.

God that was weird

I’m on vacation in Tennessee at the time and I haven’t checked in on MHH in a while and I get a text from a friend in Washington about a deal involving kirk and STL. Not having any idea what the details are, I started texting a few Avs people asking for details. Nobody knew anything. I jump on the internets and I see news of the deal everywhere and hit up MHH and I’m like “What in the mother fucking hell happened”. Thomas was in that thread that night, actually. I made the mistake of civility :(

Yeah, I just figured that out. However, that means we only have 12 hours to figure stuff out. I figure this thread will hold us over until the 8AM official thread kicks in.

See? All I see is 19-20 hours worth of photo chopping every day. Then, you say you work. I see no time for sleep there.

BTW, I like how you seem to have decided to studiously avoid discussion of the comment above. Best bet, I’d say. Above the fray and all. Adds to the mysteriousness. Very well done.

I’m predicting that Darcy Tucker comes out of retirement and gets a 4 mill / 1 year contract.

Now I can be ready for FA day upon the morrow! Huzzah!

Kidding. I have faith in Sherman and that he’s making the right moves.

Two goaltenders. A vet forward if we are very very lucky, but I won’t bank on it. Still, better than wondering if Winnik will be our biggest acquisition.

The best part

is knowing, KNOWING we’re getting two goaltenders and guaranteed at least one of them is new. I still wonder if Elliott comes back on a small contract to be backup.

LeClaire…we would need three goalies if we get him. Remember, he got injured sitting on the bench last year. Kind of like Jones, but Leclaire didn’t even get onto the ice

Oh, I won't

He’s young, he’s flashed potential, and he’s got an intriguing toolbox of raw skills. He’ll never be anything more than a decent backup as long as we have a cleat cut 1-2, I’m fine with giving him a full season as the backup.

eh, I dont see him being consistent beyond 40/50 games, which means more Elliott playing. Im not sure why, but ive never thought of him as much of a workhorse
