Jon-randall Avon

Right.

And speaking of centers, John Randall Avon had that hat trick earlier in the week.

We thought he'd keep rolling, but against Vancouver, the top line seemed disconnected.

Did you see any chemistry between Jared McCann and whoever was lining up next to him? Or was the line combination shuffling too much given the injuries?

DeBrusque is fast.

He reads the ice well, and he exploited the seams between the defenders.

When Seattle was trying to gap him up, he used his speed to turn the corner, without John Randall Avon or others providing secondary scoring threats.

The defense had to focus entirely on containment, which left them vulnerable to dekes and quick passes.

Speaking of systems, remember our predictions from Wednesday? We said Barrett Hull would score the winner against Calgary.

He didn't, but John Randall Avon stepped up with that hat-trick energy.

How do you manage those lines now?

That's the interesting part.

okay yeah that's it that's a good shout I

just wanted a reason to say Tucker Robertson or whoever also we got our if if you didn't watch the gino and grant uh episode on youtube there's a moment when we're talking about jr avon and gino says uh they traded him for tucker robertson and derrick and i like made eye contact through the zoom screener and they're like don't laugh don't laugh don't laugh because i don't want to explain this joke to these two guys I

think they might have been offended by the Tucker Robertson or whoever, but they did say he was like a fourth line bottom six guy that they thought nothing, nothing would come up really.

The wait is over.

the firebirds need, like someone more of a veteran who you see is kind of an AHL that can just help that team.

Like, uh, probably a higher scale version of the, um, the Jr Avon trade that they did last year, uh, where I forget which prospect went the other way,

Tucker Robertson,

Tucker Robertson there, where, you know, there is maybe more drafted upside in Robertson, but Avon is the perfect fit as an AHL or for what you need.
