Marek Svatos: Won't Report Until He's Signed -  8/25/2006 10:59:30 PM

Update:
Svatos, who is not yet signed, will stay away from training camp if he is not signed before then, the Rocky Mountain News reports. Colorado's training camp begins Sept. 13.

Recommendation:
"This isn't what we wanted," Svatos said. "But I'm optimistic about it and, hopefully, by the time camp starts, I'm going to sign. This is where I want to play." After not re-signing Rob Blake and trading Alex Tanguay, the Avalanche need Svatos' scoring ability. In 61 games last season, Svatos tied for the team lead with 32 goals.
