Denver Post sports writers Terry Frei and Mike Chambers post the Avs Mailbag every other Thursday during the regular season.
Pose an Avalanche- or NHL-related question for the Avs Mailbag.
The NHL trade deadline has come and gone and the Avs made a few moves. Do you like what Joe Sakic did this year to improve the team? Are the Avs really a playoff team?
— Tom, Aurora
Tom: I like the additions of Shawn Matthias and Mikkel Boedker, but the Avs might pay a hefty price because both might sign elsewhere as UFAs this summer.
