A little while ago I was talking to a child at work. When he heard I was a fellow Colorado Avalanche fan, he announced, “The Avs should trade Varly for a defenseman and let Calvin Pickard play.”
I remember thinking to myself, “From the mouths of babes — that’s kind of what I think, too!”
Well, during today’s radio interview with Altitude Sports Radio, GM Joe Sakic stated that the Avalanche really wanted to pick up a “top-end D,” and since such players “don’t grow on trees,” the team would have to trade for him.
