The Colorado Avalanche are not in the 2017 Stanley Cup Playoffs. And neither are a couple of former Avalanche players who are on the roster of a playoff team.
Specifically, former alternate captain Cody McLeod and forward PA Parenteau are both on the Nashville Predators, who are playing the Central Division champion Chicago Blackhawks. The Predators have played two games, but neither McLeod nor Parenteau suited up for either game. In other words, they’ve had as much playoff action as, say, Matt Duchene this year.
PA Parenteau
It’s been a while since PA Parenteau was an Avalanche player — to be honest, I didn’t even quite realize that he was on the Nashville Predators.
