The Avs sure love former Flames.

Cammalleri's probably excited to play with MacKinnon in a couple years...

They will probably move Mackinnon to make room for Cammalleri.

So Bourque gets another chance at a job, but Russell doesn't?

Hell, even David Jones has shown more over the last few seasons than Bourque.

Hell, I've even shown more over the last few seasons than Bourque.

Jones homecoming in Colorado confirmed?

Yeah, Bourque is pretty useless these days.

It's a PTO. Jones and Russell are both probably still holding out for a contract.

What an odd move imo. No risk, but just doesn't seem to be worth it...imo

Don't forget the Avalanche will be down bodies because of the World Cup when training camp starts.

Landeskog, Duchene, Mackinnon, and Soderberg are all Avs forwards that will all be playing in the World Cup.

Bourque is likely a body to fill in for one of them.

Borque in his prime was a 25 goal scorer. Maybe this is finally the wake up call he needs to show up every game. He's deadly when he tries hard
