Aarif and J.J. are here for a quick pod to discuss the Avalanche’s first couple rounds of training camp cuts. They discuss some of the names that stick out most, like Sampo Ranta, Oskar Olausson and Brad Hunt. They also have another chat about Martin Kaut and his camp so far as he continues to skate with the main group. The guys also touch on Shane Bowers, Mikhail Maltsev, Ben Meyers and the rest of the depth forwards still fighting for an NHL roster spot.
