Three of Colorado’s RFA’s - Cody McLeod, Jason Bacashihua and Tyler Weiman - have been re-signed. The Avs also inked the two guys we got in the Mark Rycroft deal (Phillippe Dupuis and Darcy Campbell) and a couple more guys I’ve never heard of (Aaron MacKenzie and Nathan Smith).
McLeod’s contract is for $522,500 (the qualifying amount). No word yet on the other RFA Cody.
I thought I remember reading that Weiman was not given a qualifying offer by the Avs, meaning he was free to sign with any team (but don’t quote me on that).
you’re right, Weiman was not tendered…the whole thing is a little puzzling. I’m glad he’s still around though. I think he’s got some good skills.
I’m so damn happy right now. I didn’t want to see Weiman in a different jersey.
you mean different from the Lake Erie one?
The Avs are desperate to identify a “next one” goalie prospect. So I’m not surprised that Weiman is back. I think if Bacashihua is healthy he will stand out among his competition in camp this year.
I’m sure McCormick will take his qualifying offer because of his injury history the last couple of years. No other team is going to give him more.
What’s going on with the comments + pics?
