Colorado Avalanche place eight on waivers; NHL season derailed, already

After a day off, the Colorado Avalanche are back on the ice Friday morning. Before camp resumed, the team began to take care of some administrative work as they began the process of shrinking the roster down before opening night.

The team has placed forwards Sheldon Dries, Jayson Megna, Miikka Salomaki, Mike Vecchione and T.J. Tynan as well as defensemen Kyle Burroughs, Jacob MacDonald and Dan Renouf on waivers. No real surprises here, other than the fact that former Anaheim Ducks forward Keifer Sherwood wasn’t among the first group waived. This must mean that he has been impressing the coaching staff thus far in camp.
