The Avs started reassigning players today. From the Avs website:

Seven players were assigned to the club’s American Hockey League training camp in Albany, NY, RW Dan DaSilva, G Kris Mayotte, D Brandon Roach, C Ryan Steeves, RW David Svagrovsky, C Peter Tsimikalis and D Michael Vernace.

Three players were assigned to their respective junior teams, C Codey Burki (Brandon-WHL), C Chris Durand (Seattle-WHL) and D Raymond Macias (Kamloops-WHL).

No real surprises here. But so far that’s seven to Lowell Albany, and how many from Carolina. Again, the dual affiliation is going to get sticky. Some of these guys (most?) will get sent down to the Arizona Sundogs (Central Hockey League affiliate) from the River Rats after their training camp. For instance, I don’t think Mayotte is ready to be a goalie in the AHL, so he will go down to the Sundogs. I hope these guys had a good rookie camp. I didn’t see anyone dogging it.
