Aarif is joined by Aniello Piro of Mile High Sports following the first day of training camp. The guys start the show by breaking down Valeri Nichushkin's first public comments since his absence from the team last April. They then get into the vibes around camp, Gabriel Landeskog's recovery and how the new pieces are filling into the lineup. They also touch on Devon Toews' comments regarding his contract negotiations. The show ends with an interview with Julian McKenzie, who covers the Calgary Flames for The Athletic. All that and more on this edition of Hockey Mountain High: Your go-to Avalanche Podcast.
