The race to see which forwards will start the season in Denver for the Colorado Avalanche seems to have been narrowed down to the handful of skaters head coach Jared Bednar keeps referring to in his press conferences.
Vladislav Kamenev, Sheldon Dries and Logan O’Connor have all gotten significant air time in Bednar’s conferences. Throw Dominic Toninato and AJ Greer into the mix as well, as they’ve both enjoyed solid camps and come with some NHL experience under their belts.
After his performance in the most recent preseason game against Vegas, though, perhaps the Avalanche’s most recent first round selection - Czech forward Martin Kaut - shouldn’t be left out of the conversation.
