When anyone talks about the 2017-18 Colorado Avalanche, they inevitably go straight to the defense. With the exit of a number of veterans and a whole lot of question marks beyond the top-3, it’s safe to say, Joe Sakic and crew are likely looking to add some talent to the back-end.
Sure the team has spoken about giving an opportunity to the young defenders and guys like Bigras and Lindholm look ready to contribute, but Sakic has also made an effort to point out the Avs’ waiver priority.
The Avalanche will have first waiver priority right up until November 1st - at which point the order is determined by the standings.
