I have to admit, I am mostly writing this post about Colorado Avalanche forward Rene Bourque because I’ve been hearing some mixed reviews on him recently.
Bourque has never been a great possession forward. He’s always produced at a middling rate. And, he’s never been the best player on the team.
However, he does bring some scoring depth, he takes the puck away, and he solidifies the bottom of the lineup. And, the Avs are paying a guy who is currently tied for fourth in team scoring, a total of 650,000 this year…
If that’s not a steal, then I don’t know what is.
