I was crying reading this…I feel like him leaving didn’t fully hit me until this post. EJ is the best, and I know the team and us fans are going to miss him so much! I’m just so happy that he got to win a cup with us. He will always be an Av in our hearts 🏔️❤️

Very honest post by him. Really shows his awesome candor. He is one of my all time favorites. I still remember that weird, massive, middle of the night blockbuster trade. Felt like the start of something special.

It’s a good thing I haven’t claimed any of the core guys as a favorite so you’re all welcome for that

Fuck EJ for making me cry on a Sunday afternoon.

It’s too bad he can’t retire as an Avalanche. I’m a little surprised he wanted to go again after this year. He just didn’t look like he had as much drive. After the foot injury, thought he was done for sure.
It must be a bit of an ego hit to take a pay cut. I can’t imagine we wanted to pay much more than league minimum. Getting paid MacDermid money probably feels pretty bad. No way we could give him what he got. I hope everyone is leaving on good terms.
Like he said, he will always be an Av and he/we will always have the memories of him sharing his bed with the cup.

Incoming one day contract eventually to retire as an Av.

Too bad the Avs couldn’t make the money work to keep EJ. Who knows maybe he will come back for a Cup run. Can’t blame him for leaving. The ponies are an expensive hobby
