Kiz: My old friend and legendary Avalanche general manager Pierre Lacroix used to take great pleasure in admonishing me with these words: “You know nothing about hockey.” Well, maybe he was correct. Because if there’s one thing I was certain about this sport and this Colorado team in 2020, it was that Avs defenseman Cale Makar was a lock to win the Calder Trophy as the league’s top rookie? But who’s this Quinn Hughes kid?
Chambers: The kid is from the University of Michigan, born in Orlando, Fla., and I believe raised in the Toronto area.
