SUNRISE, Fla. — The Colorado Avalanche do not lack for offense most nights, a statement that is backed up by the club leading the NHL in both goals and goals per game one month from the trade deadline.
Possessing one of the top two scoring defensemen, two of the top six forwards and another on pace to shatter personal bests in offensive output is one of the best foundations in the sport. But this team expects to win a championship, so every nit can and will be picked.
And one ongoing concern for the entire 2023-24 season has been whether or not the Avs have enough supplemental offensive weapons at their disposal.
