Paul Stastny: Avalanche Mainstay or Trade Bait?
Paul Stastny certainly has many ties to the city of Denver and the franchise for whom he plays. His father is Peter Stastny, a Hall-of-Famer for the Quebec Nordiques and the mentor to a young Joe Sakic. Paul played his collegiate hockey right here in Denver for the University of Denver Pioneers and helped them capture an NCAA Championship in 2005.

Aaron Musick: Which Avs contract would you take away?
If the murmurs of contract amnesty are correct, then the question becomes on whom would the Avs use that amnesty?
The Avalanche don't have a Rick Dipietro, Roberto Luongo or Scott Gomez contract. The closest they have is Paul Stastny at $6.6 million but even that isn't an albatross of a contract.
In two years, that contract will come off the books and Stastny will either...

Sam Gagner making a challenge to Paul Stastny's domain
We all know that Paul Stastny is master of the universe, but I mean, come on. Sam Gagner has to be making a push, right? Three signs that he is making a push to usurp Stastny's rule.1) See Above. That is his war cry, and associated battle charge. Stick out like a spear.2) In his last 5 games, Gagner has 8 goals and 7 assists (making a pace better than the entire Minnesota Wild...

The End of the Stastny Legacy
Before Joe Sakic, the greatest Quebec Nordique was Peter Stastny. Over his long career Sakic uprooted Stastny as the face of a franchise that moved to Colorado. But the allure of Rookie of the Year, Stastny, and the reunion with his brothers, Anton and Marian, has always been a story line for Colorado/Quebec.
The Stastny brothers, especially Anton and Peter, were the face of the...

Stastny recorded an assist that gave Colorado a 1-0 lead in the first period. Colorado also held Dallas to 1 shot on goal for the entire period. Dallas’s offense...

Pregame Avs-Flames: O’Reilly, Stastny will play, but will Gally?
Although neither player took part in yesterday’s practice or the morning skate a little while ago at the Pepsi Center, the Avs said centers Ryan O’Reilly and Paul Stastny will be in the lineup tonight against the Cal-Gary Flames. O’Reilly has what sounds like a touch of the flu or something close, while Stastny just took a “maintenance day” yesterday...
