Listen to “Draft and Free Agency Preview” on Spreaker.
Aarif Deen and J.J. Jerez of Mile High Sports preview the busy week ahead in the NHL. First, the guys break down some key dates from the 2022-23 regular-season schedule and chat about Andrew Cogliano’s extension. They then look at the draft, where the Avs hold just four picks and don’t make their first selection until 97th overall. They also break down all of Colorado’s pending UFA’s, if they’ll re-sign, and who could replace them on the market. The guys then look at potential trade targets and bargain options on the free-agent market that Joe Sakic could also look into. All that and more on this offseason preview edition of Hockey Mountain High: Your go-to Avalanche Podcast.
