The dog days of summer have settled in much like the unrelenting heat wave going on outside so there’s little news to be had concerning the NHL and the Colorado Avalanche in particular. One imminent piece of business still hanging in the balance is the contract status of Ross Colton, who will either agree to terms with the Avalanche soon or go through with his arbitration hearing on July 27th.
- Despite this uncertainty Colton recently joined a local radio program in Tampa to say his goodbyes and talk about his pending move to Colorado. One tidbit of information revealed was that Colton is going to switch to #20, which he wore in College at the University of Vermont, when he dons the burgundy and blue.
