[Jfresh] Sam Malinski, extended 4x$4.75M by COL, is a two-way puck-moving defenceman who skates really fast and excels at jumping up in the play. An active defender as well. Has been doing very well in a third-pair role but might have the skill to scale it up.

  2. love how Malinski plays, I think this is a great signing for our 3 year Brock Nelson cup window

  5. Great signing. He’s been stellar this year, and he’s moved into the top 4 since Toews was injured, including playing on his off side the first pairing with Makar, and he hasn’t skipped a beat. This contract is already good value and will age really well. He’s likely going to be a second pairing staple for the Avs for years

  6. >”Might” have the skill to scale it up

    Brother he’s been eating first pair minutes paired with Cale for a lot of shifts since Toews went out. Do not besmirch the name of MaHimSki

  8. “Might”? He’d be top 4 on almost any other team at least according to what I see with these stylish burgundy tinted glasses

  10. Wish it was a tad longer, but this is a huge signing. Malinski keeps getting better and I’m thankful we got an extension done

  11. Sometimes I confuse him for makar with the way he skates.

    I still think we overpaid a little bit here, but hopefully it ages well.

  14. I am absolutely fucking stoked on this deal. Malinski has been a stud this year and this could end up being a steal. 

  16. Lest we forget this man was undrafted, God damn geniuses the Avs brass are once again

  18. Does this signing signal Sammy G is on his way out? Possible trade piece at the deadline
