When the season started, most people assumed that by the time the NHL trade deadline came around, the Colorado Avalanche would be among a small group of sure-fire sellers.
Now, as we sit 46 days away from the February 26th deadline, things aren’t quite so simple.
Through 41 games, the Avalanche sit 22-16-3 and have a better winning percentage than the Minnesota Wild - the team currently holding the last playoff spot in the Western Conference.
So do they still sell off pending free-agents as we expected earlier in the year?
