Shortly before Sunday’s practice, the Avalanche announced it has assigned nine players to the San Antonio Rampage of the American Hockey League, leaving the Colorado training camp/exhibition season roster at 30.
The nine unsurprising cuts: forwards Troy Bourque, Turner Elson, A.J. Greer, Samuel Henly, Jim O’Brien and Joe Whitney; defenseman Ryan Stanton; and goaltenders Jeremy Smith and Spencer Martin.
That left the current Colorado roster:
Goaltenders (2): Semyon Varlamov, Calvin Pickard.
Forwards (18): John Mitchell, Joe Colborne, Matt Duchene, Jarome Iginla, Blake Comeau, Mike Sislo, Ben Smith, Rene Bourque, Mikhail Grigorenko, Trent Vogelhuber, Andreas Martinsen, Nathan MacKinnon, Carl Soderberg, J.
