The Avs are skating at Family Sports, and it looks like new faces are making an appearance almost daily. Also, Mitch Marner chatted with a reporter about his unceremonious departure from Toronto.
All that and more on this edition of Deen’s Daily — August 30.
The additions of Victor Olofsson and Joel Kiviranta in August means the Avs now have 12 NHL regular veterans under contract for the 2025-26 season. But the expectation is that Logan O’Connor will start the season injured.
That means at least one non-regular should crack the opening roster. Will it be Ivan Ivan for the second year in a row? Or will a new trade acquisition and two rookies give him a run for his money?
