0:00.0	Welcome in the DNVR Avalanche podcast.
0:06.0	We got Biggie and Rudo coming to you live on a Tuesday.
0:11.0	We ranked pretty much every player in the Central Division, I think, at this point.
0:16.3	So we've got our players covered, but what about the coaches of the central division? We got to talk about
0:22.1	them, too. We'll see where each team is at, because there is a little bit of a shakeup in the

1:30.7	And obviously, that was before it was announced that it was going to go up the way it's been going up.
1:37.4	Now, on a deal like Wolf, different expectations, right?
1:42.0	Calgary, it's like they almost made the playoffs last year,
