0:00.0	Welcome in to the BNVR Avalanche Podcasts live from the Toyota Lounge and powered by your
0:07.4	front range Toyota dealership presented by Bet365.
0:11.5	We got Bailey.
0:12.1	We got Ruto coming to you as it is an off date for the Colorado Avalanche.
0:16.7	But they gave us plenty of news to talk about.
0:19.7	I want to get into all of the signings that the abs have done.
0:22.8	Not just in season, though.
0:23.9	We will talk about those a lot, but some of the offseason ones and just how successful

1:23.8	But seeing what Olison's been able to contribute, seeing what Burns has been able to do,
1:29.3	seeing what these signings or at least guys who have earned extensions have done so far.
