Any of the top 3 2012 draft class forwards, Yakupov or Galchenyuk.

Maybe RyJo?
rockyrho
who did we have in the 15-16 season? any one of those guys.. Oddly the worst +/- that season was iginla Maybe Mikkel Boedker or Andreas Martinsen?

RyJo is recency bias. My vote goes for Joe Colborne. 8 points in 62 GP and 3 of them being from an opening night hat trick. I know that team was abysmal but he was BAD.
Edit: I misspelt this legends name.

So hard to choose but if Brad May got top 9 minutes I’d have to go there. More recently, Johansen was an absolute joke in terms of both production and effort.

Tyler Arnason

I’m gonna get hate for this but Tyson Jost? His career high is 26 points, and he was supposed to be a top 6 guy for us.
Guys like RyJo or Galchenyuk obviously didn’t pan out, but don’t have a big enough sample size with the Avs in my opinion, and the myriad of bad players we had in the dark years are whatever.

JOE COLBORNE!
Winger. He scored a hat trick in one of the first games of the season and that was literally the only good thing he did on The Avs, and petty much the only good thing to happen during the disastrous 16-17 season.
Averaged about 30 pts in 70 games for the Flames…
8 points in 62 games for the Avs
JoshVKoot
Lars Eller..don’t have any stats but hated every time he was on the ice
Disastrous_Emu_3628
Brandon Yip, David Jones, TJ Gallardi or Chuck Kobasew?

Tyler. Arnason.
SaveByGrubauer
Probably kinda random and showing my age. I’m going to go with Tyler Arnason. There was a point, because of injuries, he was our second line center. He was a terrible skater and I’m being serious when I say I’m not sure he knew how to skate backwards. I absolutely loathed watching him play. He also had a comically long stick that just bothered the everloving shit out of me. RyJo recently was also pretty bad.

I think Yakupov is a good choice here, as others have said. #1 overall pick that fizzled out his last year of NHL Mediocrity here in Denver.

One more to add Blake Comeau.

My vote would be RyJo. There have been others that were miscast as top 9 due to lack of talent in the org, there have been some that were projects that didn’t work out, but he was brought in specifically to fill a top 9 (top 6?) role and just wasn’t good enough
Rene Bourque who inexplicably played on the first line for an entire season

The answer has to be Tyler Arnason but I think Chuck Kobasew isn’t far behind.
anemic_royaltea
I hear your Joe Colborne’s, but on that awful 16/17 team he averaged about 10 minutes a night, that’s a 4th liner, beating only Martinsen and McLeod for ice time among the forwards.
It’s gotta be Arnason. He was in the top six, for multiple seasons. The lazy fuck.
porkchopespresso
There are so many great choices here already. I want to throw out all time great hockey name Bates Battaglia. I think he got some time on the 3rd line

IN response to Yakupov comments def not the worst, he would score a goal from time to time and some of the goals were big
Maybe if we had him for more than we did but Ive def seen wose players, he might fit best under wasted potential

So far so good on this list. I just wish they added BEST FIGHTER category. I would’ve chosen The Sheriff.

People won’t like it, but Jost. Simply useless by the end of his tenure

Derek Brassard was absolutely awful for us

There’s definitely some recency bias with Johansen but I really do think he was the worst
roboh96
Is it the worst forward or worst player? Daniel Briere if forward and Brad Stuart if player.

Blake Comeau solely because of the [Blakeaway](https://youtu.be/Pi_eGSHViNM?si=w3eZwL8NdJU4M0ce)
