Jesse’s Observations Avs Give back – My favorite thing about writing this piece every week is the fact that it allows me the opportunity to share some of the fascinating stories that we get to see up close, that maybe go unnoticed by the general public. This past week, when the Colorado Avalanche hosted the Anaheim Ducks, the Avs and…

No one should care about the result of this hockey game but they should care about the steps Alex Newhook is taking toward becoming the Avs permanent 2C, as well as other solid performances in the game. https://youtu.be/PcTKrpRd7HI
On the Eve of the Colorado Avalanche officially opening their 2022-2023 campaign, we here at DNVR did our annual Training Camp Preview podcast. It’s a fun and exciting show to do every year because it really does (at least in my head) serve as the official start of a new hockey season. So much optimism, so much hope. Not just…...
After reaching the top of the mountain the Avs may have some work to do to graduate some of their own prospects to keep the magic going. With a prospect pool significantly thinner than in previous years mid-round prospects have become key. https://youtu.be/nHf2p0NR5HM
The Avs have well over half a dozen forwards that are likely to see time on the fourth line this season. With those spots mostly locked up for opening night, the question becomes what is it going to take to earn an opportunity and who is going to take advantage of it? https://youtu.be/pl3z1rPGRo8
Official on-ice activities are about to begin once again for the Avs with development camp followed by the rookie tournament. The Avs prospect pool still boasts significant high-end talent and solid depth to dive into, pyramid style. https://youtu.be/1fNEjKhJA08
The Avs have a number of young talented players trying to carve out an NHL role fore themselves coming into this season. Will Bowen Byram make the roster out of camp? Will Martin Kaut find his way to consistent playing time? These questions and many more answered on the Rookie Season Preview. https://youtu.be/Mj4h12YuFp4
When the NHL announced it had reached an agreement with the players on a plan for the upcoming season, one of the most intriguing details to emerge from the talks was the creation of a “taxi squad.” After watching MLB successfully use this concept to help make up for the lack of minor league play, the NHL has decided to…...
Avs nation caught a glimpse of the NHL version or Martin Kaut last season and you can expect a lot more of it in the coming one. Just, maybe not right away. https://youtu.be/XCp9UtTzacg
The top half of the Avs prospect pyramid may be the most crowded it’s ever been. With many graduations on the horizon now is the time to jump on the pyramid bandwagon. https://youtu.be/ir_ugg2AuBA
The playoffs are coming with the NHL’s official announcement yesterday. While that will focus primarily on the format and the details of the draft, it should also include something about what teams are going to look like upon their return. We’ve touched on this a little bit already but I want to get into the idea of teams carrying a…...
In what was a season full of fun Avalanche stories, the halting of the NHL season stole what might have been a memorable playoff run and overshadowed an important story that emerged during the second rash of ridiculous injuries for the Avalanche. That story was Martin Kaut. When the charismatic 19-year-old was called up, it was meaningful for several reasons.…...
Allie Monroy and Nathan Rudolph discuss more injury news for the Avs, what to expect moving forward and more! https://youtu.be/v9QEw-UyIEU
After eight games, Martin Kaut has been sent back to the AHL. While that is less time than many thought he deserved it still gives us 80:22 of NHL tape to run back and see what he brings to the top level of hockey. Spoilers, he looks NHL-ready. 1. Confidence. From game one Kaut never shied away from making a play.…...

Sometimes there is no replacement for a little elbow grease. https://youtu.be/lIYLcb91ers
I always laugh when guys like me (media types, I mean) categorize a rash of injuries as a possible “blessing in disguise.” Like a team somehow gets better or has an improved situation because a grip of injuries ripped through their team and forced them to play short-handed. For the second time this season, however, the Avalanche are dealing with…...

It's difficult for a young player to come up in a stretch run and earn the trust of an NHL head coach.
How is Martin Kaut making it look so easy, then?
The 20 year old Czech native has only been up with the Avs for a week, but he's already earning ice time due to his hard work and intelligence on the ice.
