No Cakes, Just Cup - NHL News for 7/25/16

Good morning all. Sandie continues her vacation and the staff continue to try and do justice to all her hard work. Here’s a few fun links to brighten your day:

AJ tried his hand at being MC in the latest installment of the BSN Avs Podcast, our good friend Cole Hamilton joined him in the studio.

The Avs put up the latest edition of the AvsCast with AJ Greer, who is summering in Denver to ready himself for turning pro this season.

Colorado Eagles beat writer Cris Tiller has a good breakdown of how the new affiliation will affect their roster construction this year.

Komets GM David Franke put forth a post-mortem on the Avs/K’s affiliation in this interview with WANE-TV.

Finally, an interview in French with Big Sam Henley from the local Val d’Or paper (s/t to tigervixxxen). On one hand it’s more evidence of how disturbing everything about last year in San Antonio was but on the other it reinforces how well the Avs management has responded.
