Adam French: Avalanche in the Desert with some Radulov
Colorado. Once made fun of for making a controversial trade to acquire a goal, now known for, well they have a great young team. Joe Sakic is my favourite player, but I can hope this team loses. While Semyon Varlamov has been a beast in net, it has been the overall team that has helped them. OâReilly is one of the best two-way players in the league and to be fair, this is the...

The End of the Stastny Legacy

Joe didn’t seem to have...

Next Coach On The Move?
from Elliotte Friedman of CBC, Colorado is another interesting one, considering the Avalanche are tremendous at keeping secrets. Other teams, however, believe changes are possible, but how high will they go? Prospective coaches may be nervous about going there now if a full-on regime change is to occur this summer.
As one executive put it to me: who is (or will be) calling the shots...

#1 Prospect: Ryan Nugent-Hoplins
Winter 2011: #1Summer 2011: #1Pre Draft StoryKen Hitchcock: "My opinion on Nugent-Hopkins has changed ... last summer I thought he reminded me of Joe Sakic, but it's Pavel Datsyuk now. He strips people of the puck, he's crafty in high-traffic areas, he dishes well, he's got great patience with the puck."NHL Central Scouting’s B.J. MacDonald: “(Nugent...
