RFAs Jost, Timmins, Gilbert get qualifying offers from Colorado Avalanche
Jack Dempsey
The Colorado Avalanche sent three qualifying offers Monday to restricted free agents — forward Tyson Jost and defensemen Dennis Gilbert and Conor Timmins — and retain their negotiating rights.
Restricted free agents who don’t receive a qualifying offer become unrestricted free agents. From the Avalanche, that includes goaltenders Adam Werner and Peyton Jones and forwards Travis Barron and Ty Lewis. None appeared with the big club last season.
The free agency period begins Wednesday at 10 a.m.

It wasn’t regulation hockey, but after three days of drills, the Colorado Avalanche’s development camp burgundy-white game was a close-enough tuneup. Burgundy’s Bowen Byram and Alex Newhook were easy to spot, not just because the jerseys have appeared in NHL play. They held […]
