Colorado Avalanche Training Camp Dates

I think Kovalenko gets every opportunity to become the next Lehkonen this year, let’s hope he gets close!

 

[Ceremony]

The Avs have a tendency to trade these types of players for another reclamation project. Most of the time it doesn't work out, but we did get Graves in one of those.

Maybe we'll finally get a decent return with Olausson.

Maybe we'll finally get a decent return with Olausson.

I hope we go after a similar struggling prospect but in an actual position of need. Give me back Drew Helleson lol.

I wouldn't claim a D-Man off waivers and stick him at #4C, personally.

That;s not the right Carrick. The guy the loilers put on waivers is a D-Man. The #4C you're thinking of signed a 3 year deal with the Rangers.

Lmao thank you. I was wondering why they would put a legit 4C on waivers like that. Thought he re-signed when I saw "Oilers" and "Carrick" in the same heading over the Summer.

First game of our preseason on NHL Center Ice coincides with preseason debut of MacKinnon, Makar, and Rantanen.

Collusion.

A bag of pucks would be decent.

Or Timmins, or Barron..

Gimme Alexandrov!

Yes please!

Isn't he the guy the Avs wanted to draft and StL took him just before them and they handed up with Stienburg?....
Yup it is.

Alexandrov was the Avs draft target under Hepple before St Louis took him a pick before the Avs who took Steinberg instead. There's probably been too much staff turnover since then for that to mean much anymore though

Missed opportunity IMO. Probably a signal the Avs are fine with their options at 4C... incoming PEB contact?

Oh gawd that's landeskogs music!

 

[the_fan]

Landy’s playing tonight?

 

[BobRossColton]

Has mitts even played a game?

 

[Tommy Shelby]

I think we've all been sufficiently underwhelmed by Stienburg. Why they need to take a longer look is beyond me

 

[RoyIsALegend]

See ya, scrubs.

[Chileiceman]

Does anyone know where to go to see a list of everyone who is currently on the camp roster?

 

[Tommy Shelby]

My boy Ivan² still here, love that for him

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Feels all buy guaranteed Ritchie will get his 9 game look at least and then go from there. 9 games would get us awfully close to a Nuke return and also probably Lehky so I wouldn't be surprised if they send him down after the 9 games but if he's PPG and playing well maybe not.


Guessing opening night is gonna look like this:


Drouin - Mack - Mikko
Kovalenko - Mittelstadt - Ritchie
Wood - Colton - LOC
Kelly - PEB - Kiviranta/Ivan

Toews - Makar
Girard - Manson
Kyllington - CDH
Brannstrom- Malinski


Honestly when Lehky and Nuke return that's really not horrible. A legitimately good Top 6 group, and we know what the 3rd line can do with LOC slotted into it. Then, you're probably looking at Kovalenko on the 4th line instead of Kivi/Ivan and I think if Kovalenko keeps playing like he has he makes the 4th line better as well.



And that's not even accounting for Landy. By January, the forward group could look really fantastic.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

I like Belly for the lockerroom aspect, but when a 4C type inevitably gets put on waivers as training camps come to an end, the Avs should be all over that. PEB just can't skate with Bedsy's system anymore

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

See ya, scrubs.

https://x.com/i/web/status/1841349276045086837

Would've preferred Behrens here over Brannstrom. Hopefully he gets a bunch of ice time in the AHL, I do like what I've seen so far.

 

[S E P H]

See ya, scrubs.

On that entire list, I would've liked to see Steinburg get another game. He was quite decent in his role.

 

[dahrougem2]

J.L. Foudy has become an incredibly disappointing player.

I'm beginning to think he'll forever be an AHL Ryan Spooner.

 

[henchman21]

Feels all buy guaranteed Ritchie will get his 9 game look at least and then go from there. 9 games would get us awfully close to a Nuke return and also probably Lehky so I wouldn't be surprised if they send him down after the 9 games but if he's PPG and playing well maybe not.

It feels like the opposite here. I think they want Ritchie to succeed and find a way to justify the 9 games, but Bednar has been pretty pointed in his comments and Ritchie has been pretty bad. Resorting to see if he can click at wing next to one of them this late feels more like them giving it a last swing.
