Colorado Avalanche GM Joe Sakic is sure to be doing his due diligence like any good general manager. He reportedly asked for a free agency meeting with star center John Tavares even though he had to realize the Avalanche wouldn’t make the short list.
So, he’s sure to be kicking the tires on an Erik Karlsson deal. The Ottawa Senators captain and star player is supposedly on the trade block. It makes sense a diligent GM would contact the team about the possibility of making a deal.
All of us over here in Avs Nation hope it goes a little deeper than that, though.
