Doesn’t it seem like the Colorado Avalanche have been in a rebuild since, like, 2003? Or at least since 2005, when the salary cap was implemented.
Well, it looks like we might be in for another rebuild of sorts. Or a tweaking of the original rebuild.
You know the score by now. The Avalanche are dead-last in the NHL. According to NBC Sports, the Avs have a points percentage of .329. The only other team that has been worse in the salary cap era were the 2013-14 Buffalo Sabres, who were .317. That was a major rebuild year for them.
