The Avalanche survived an apocalyptic injury/availability crisis by treading water in the NHL standings, and critical reinforcements have arrived.
The Avs are now (mostly) healthy. They have work to do to ensure a spot in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs, and to try and reestablish themselves as a legit championship contender.
There are also some significant questions left for the Avs to answer before the trade deadline, which will shape the final form of this roster and potentially play a huge role in whether or not Colorado can make a real push for a second title in four seasons.
