The Colorado Avalanche are highly unlikely to be big buyers come July 1. I believe GM Joe Sakic when he states that he’s going to stay the course and develop through the draft and growing prospects.
That said, the Avalanche rarely stand pat on Free Agency Day — I can’t remember when, if ever, they have. And certainly not under Sakic’s tenure.
I think the Colorado Avalanche might try to pick up some depth pieces. They’re likely to look for young players who will accept two-way contracts for just a year or two — and who come cheap.
