Avalanche have officially given up on four players ahead of regular season

Roster cuts are expected to accelerate in the coming days, with the season opener just 10 days away.

Aarif Deen from Colorado Hockey Now writes that Jason Polin, Alex Barre-Boulet, Tye Felhaber, and TJ Tynan were among the many players placed on waivers across the league.

If they go unclaimed by noon MT on Sunday, they are expected to be assigned to the AHL's Colorado Eagles.

None of the four players will dress for Saturday's preseason game.

The Avalanche's impressive back-to-back preseason victories over the Utah Mammoth this past weekend have not only showcased the team's depth and potential but also sparked major expectations that this could be the beginning of a highly promising season ahead.

As the Avalanche near the end of preseason, the team has shown flashes of chemistry, skill, and depth that hint at an exciting season with a real shot of capturing another Stanley Cup championship.

The Avalanche have now faced 51 players on their camp roster and will return to the ice on Saturday for their third scheduled preseason game at Ball Arena against their divisional rival Dallas Stars. Colorado's current preseason roster now sits at 44.

Puck drop is set for 5 p.m. MT.
