Avalanche Signs Desjardins, Brophey Colorado Also Agrees To Terms With Five OthersFriday, 07.08.2011 / 4:29 PM / News Colorado AvalancheThe Colorado Avalanche Hockey Club announced today that the team has signed goaltender Cedrick Desjardins and forward Evan Brophey each to a one-year contract for the 2011-12 season.
Desjardins, 25, made his NHL debut in 2010-11, appearing in two games for the Tampa Bay Lightning. He won both of his starts, allowing just one goal in each game (1.00 goals-against average, .968 save percentage). The Edmundston, New Brunswick native spent most of the year with Tampa Bay’s American Hockey League affiliate, the Norfolk Admirals, where he posted a 15-6-1 record with a 2.59 GAA and .905 Sv% in 24 appearances.
Signed by Montreal as a non-drafted free agent, Desjardins was named to the 2009-10 AHL Second All-Star Team after leading the league with a 2.00 goals-against average in 47 games for the Hamilton Bulldogs. In 2007-08, Desjardins led the ECHL’s Cincinnati Cyclones to the Kelly Cup title, and was named ECHL playoff MVP. Prior to turning pro, Desjardins spent four seasons in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. He finished his junior career by backstopping the Quebec Remparts to the 2006 Memorial Cup, earning the Hap Emms Trophy as the tournament’s most valuable goaltender.

Good for Cedrick. I hope Colorado gives him an honest chance to
win the back-up position for next year. I think they will be glad
if they do !! |

| He'll be with the Lake Erie Monsters. Semyon Varlamov and former Cincinnati Mighty Duck Jean-Sebastien Giguere, if healthy, will be the goalies in Colorado this season. |

This actually surprises me. Based off last year's games, I would have expected the Lightning to keep him around and develop him a little more.
I'd bet something happened.
Like Donnie said, he's going to have a lot of competition in Colorado/Lake Erie. I hope he performs well, though, and moves up.
I'm only a lot skeptical about Varlamov.  |

| Giguere is a great goalie, great talent, but he is getting older and his health is bit of a concern, if Ceddy can go up I71 and do what we all know he can do, do not be surprised for him to see a bit more time in the mile high city if people get hurt, for he will probably be LE's number 1 netminder because Trevor Cann is still a AA level netminder, John Grahame has not been offered an extension and Jason Bacashihua has been rumored to be going over the pond. |

| I forsee a road trip (or more) to Cleveland. Hmm, my best friend lives in Cleveland & Ceddy may be there? Guess I'll be going to north this fall! |
Hockey is life. All the rest is just small stuff.

Don't you mean a trip to Columbus when Colorado comes in or maybe
Nashville or Chicago or Pittsburgh ... Like I said earlier, I hope
Colorado gives him an honest chance to make the team in training camp. |
