Going into last season, the biggest issue facing the Colorado Avalanche was a lack of depth on the blue line. After a few waiver moves and an incredibly impressive trade, Joe Sakic was able to fill that need to the point the the blueline is a strength of this season’s team.
Now a year later, the biggest concern for Jared Bednar and the Avalanche is trying to find a legitimate second line to play behind Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen and Gabriel Landeskog. The season is less than a week old, but it looks like they might have found it.
