Avs announce 5 more cuts; c6hor8 inconsolable

The Avalanche have reduced their roster to 37 this afternoon. Among the casualties are:

• defenseman Gabriel Beaupre
• defenseman Markus Lauridsen
• defenseman Duncan Siemens
• defenseman Karl Stollery
• the imaginary awesomeness of center Michael Sgarbossa

All five will report to AHL Lake Erie for training camp.

Still on the bubble

Forwards: Andrew Agozzino, Paul Carey, Guillaume Desbiens, Mitchell Heard, Bryan Lerg, Brad Malone, Garrett Meurs, Mark Olver, Colin Smith, J.T. Wyman; though few if any of those guys will make the final cut.

Defense: Andre Benoit, Chris Bigras, Stefan Elliott, Nate Guenin, Nick Holden, Matt Hunwick (who I only included because of that whole waivers thing)

Goalies: Calvin Pickard and Sami Aittokallio are both going to be cut at some point. No real bubble here.
