Definitely a statement game...we'll see if these rentals are worth it. To be honest, rentals really shouldn't happen unless you're a contender, but whatever, what's done is done...the only thing to do now is to make the most out of the current situation.
I'm kinda torn. On one hand, if Boedkker flounders, the Avs definitely won't keep him. But if he somehow hits a Jamie McGinn-type hot streak, they'll sign him for some decent $$$ and likely regret it. I suppose if the latter happens, there's always the buyout option.
