I think it was a bit of a return favour. The avalanche got the caps out of cap hell few years ago with buying out Orpik for them. I think Sakic called in the favour.
Since I changed to more morning shifts only 5 months ago because of my promotion I never was able to watch west coast games before.
I'm thinking of waking up at 04.00 am and watch the game a bit before I head to work.
I'm starting to wonder this is the reason Mojo only signed a 2 year deal. He reaches UFA status at the Seattle draft might be an under the table agreement between him and Botts that he gets an extension after the draft.

I always liked grigorenko, I know he would never come back. but I would love seeing him play with larsson and girgensons on a line. ?
