We're officially in the dog days of August. Aarif and JJ recap the offseason that was for the Stanley Cup contenders around the league and discuss how they match up against the Avalanche. The guys also check in on the Central Division and which teams may make the playoffs from that group. The discussion also includes a look at which teams around the NHL may elevate themselves into Cup-contending status. All that and more on this edition of Hockey Mountain High: Your go-to Avalanche Podcast.

Produced by Patrick Stedman.
