Avs Charity Brunch baskets, ranked

Charity Brunch 2026 is happening soon, and as is the case every year, guys were tasked with assembling a basket of goods for the auction. I will be ranking them all based on the effort put in, commitment to the bit, and how valuable the stuff inside is.

24. JACK DRURY Impressively only has unsigned Avalanche merch, including wine tumblers with no wine. We as a community need to hold Jack Drury accountable for having a total ass basket.

23. NICK BLANKENBURG This one also only has Avalanche merch, but it's more understandable. "Avalanche Acacia & Slate Cheese Serving Tray with Cheese Knives" is a wild thing to exist.

22. BRETT KULAK If you are really into coffee you might hypothethically want this.

21. VALERI NICHUSHKIN Avalanche merch and a lego set. He is an avid lego builder and collector, after all. The puck is underwhelming for the only thing signed.

20. GAVIN BRINDLEY A real smorgasboard of stuff! It's fine.

19. ZAKHAR BARDAKOV If you like it what you are seeing, there's allegedly a Russian grocery shop somewhere in Denver.

18. ROSS COLTON Also a huge pile of stuff, but NJ mentioned. Ross looked at his home with a critical eye and put everything that didn't spark joy anymore into this basket, including Atomic Habits. I know, Ross, I know.

17. JOSH MANSON This one's really committed to the bit: outside of the gloves that are mandatory, it only has pasta-related things. It's a sensible purchase. Those are certainly getting used, unlike the golf balls or whatever. Would love something else signed, though.

16. NICOLAS ROY Nic's entire personality shines through this basket: listening to music, playing pickleball and drinking coffee. Unfortunately, have to take the score down for golf.

15. JOEL KIVIRANTA A sensible mix of stuff and I'm sure Kivi superfans would love to hang the photo up somewhere at home. Might've picked a cuntier photo, though.

14. DEVON TOEWS It's okay. You can drink the wine while reading about the difference between nazal and mouth breathing, which is a topic Devon considers important.

13. MACKENZIE BLACKWOOD It has things! I might be biased, but I like this one. A bit surprised that fishing not mentioned, though.

12. ARTTURI LEHKONEN Fairly well committed to the theme, which is in this case Tennis (and the Console Gaming). The coffee is Finnish.

11. SCOTT WEDGEWOOD A must have if you are a Girl Dad.

10. LOGAN O'CONNOR DU mentioned! We love a throwback. Coors mentoned too, but I couldn't find a connection. Maybe he's just a fan. Mayor to captain pipeline incoming? EDIT: @paininmyavs reports that Coors merch is because the brewing company used to be located near Denver, so the Mayor is showing his loyalty to the place.

9. PARKER KELLY On brand! Some people like Marvel Rivals, and some people like The Life of a Showgirl. You probably aren't reselling this one for much since there are like gozillion copies on the market, so you'll have to like it, too, if you bid. Also has $25 Steam card, which I think is adorable.

8. SAM MALINSKI Sam's parents own a vineyard in Argentina which explains the wine, and Sam likes fishing, which explains camping equipment. I guess you can drink your Chardonnay while casting a line. A compelling vision to me!

7. BRENT BURNS If I told you there's a study Bible in one of the Avs baskets, you probably wouldn't have guessed it's Brent Burns'. It's built around cooking meat during a camping trip, so it does work well with Sams. Maybe splash on both?

6. NAZEM KADRI Team-signed SCF pennant would probably make it up for you when you forget about the zoo tickets and feel bad about them expiring.

5. BROCK NELSON Somewhat olympics-themed, like Cales, but with a hoodie instead of a jersey, so worse than Cales. The book is about SEAL Teams Six, if you are into that kind of stuff. The socks are unfortunately not game-worn, so feet people shouldn't bother.

4. MARTIN NECAS Got a jersey + Olympics mentioned. Polaroid is cute, too. Martin's previous basket had one, too.

3. GABRIEL LANDESKOG This has like a billion signed things. Even the wine is signed. Puts it out of your price range, though.

2. NATHAN MACKINNON Olympics not mentioned. It has Tyson's beer company merch, which is sweet, and also a signed jersey. This one will get really expensive. And "Ready Player One" which is sure, why not.

1. CALE MAKAR A steal for someone who's massively Canada Down. Or maybe not really a steal, depending on how high does the bidding go. Cale committed to the theme, signed plenty of stuff and also picked what people want. Great job!

Avs photobook project

I've decided to make a photobook for the Avs as a personal project to commemorate this season, and I thought it would be fun to involve the avs lb community in the process! Here is what i am thinking:

You can send me up to 3 photos from the 2025-2026 season of your choice, along with a caption or a short comment of why you like the photo (optional). I will then have the photos printed and transcribe the caption/comment and your Tumblr username onto the back of the photo.

If more than one person sent me the same photo, everyone's comments and username will be included. I will use a separate piece of paper if we run out of space.

Submissions can be done through tagging me, dming me, or via the submission function of tumblr. You don't need to be following me to participate.

If possible, include the source url of the photo in your submission.

Submissions will be open until the end of June for anyone who is interested. If we get a healthy amount of submissions, I will look into setting up an online version of the photobook to share with everyone; if not, you will probably just get a post from me with what the final product looks like :)
