Colorado Avalanche should trade Paul Stastny
After sinking to the bottom of the Western Conference this season, the Colorado Avalanche franchise appears headed for big changes.One obvious option this summer is moving forward Paul Stastny, who has one year and $6.6 million left on his contract.

In the first two periods, it was the story of new signings. John Mitchell, with a face only a mad scientist could love, had two...

To Buffalo for Vanek, to the Leafs for who knows what and to the Ducks for Bobby Ryan are the three popular schools of thought.

GARTH: Stastny On The Market?
I have a ton of respect for Denver Post hockey head, Adrian Dater.
Adrian's latest blog post asks the question: Should the Avs give up on at-times brilliant centreman, Paul Stastny?

Dater doesn't think the...

Paul played his collegiate hockey right here in Denver for the University of Denver Pioneers and helped them capture an NCAA Championship in 2005.
The second-round pick of the...
