The Colorado Avalanche have made it through a testing first third of the season. It has been a grind, especially with the number of man-games lost to injuries
Last off-season, General Manager, Joe Sakic made some wholesale changes to the lineup. Some older players were shipped out, others were not re-signed and allowed to leave via Free Agency. Through players acquired via the draft, trades and free agents, Sakic re-stacked the lineup to address some issues that had plagued the Avalanche in seasons past.
I’m going to look deeper into the players who put on Avalanche colours for the first time this season and see how well they are adjusting to life as an Avalanche.
