Today, the Colorado Avalanche announced that they have reassigned forwards Sheldon Dries, Michael Joly, Martin Kaut, and Logan O’Connor, defenseman Jacob Macdonald and Dan Renouf, and goaltender Hunter Miska to the AHL Colorado Eagles.
Dries, Joly, Kaut, and O’Connor should fill out the Eagles top-six this season.
Joly was fifth in team scoring last season — his first full year after coming up from the ECHL Colorado Eagles— with 30 points in 47 games.
Dries and O’Connor both spent time in the NHL last season and should be the first choices for the team at forward should injuries arise.
