Coming into the season, the biggest question mark for the Colorado Avalanche was the depth on the back-end. It has been viewed as a weakness of the franchise for a long time and the source of a lot of ridicule coming into the 2018-19 season. Joe Sakic obviously identified this and was able to bring in a major building block for the future as a part of the Matt Duchene trade. The addition of Samuel Girard, along with the drafting of Cale Makar and Conor Timmins now gives Avalanche fans a clear picture of what the future of the blueline is going to look like.
