McKenzie on the report that Kyle Dubas has been granted permission to speak with the Colorado Avalanche:
In Colorado, they obviously want to make some changes. They fired a bunch of assistant coaches – not head coach Jared Bednar, but the rest of the coaching staff. I think Joe Sakic realizes that he needs a better support system in place for himself. He’s kind of the de facto General Manager; well, he is the General Manager, I guess. He initially was the President. They’ve had General Managers before, but when Patrick Roy was there, he was kind of a guy that made the final decisions on hockey personnel.
