Avs probably will be looking like the blackhawks in a few year
mackinnon = toews
Duchene = kane
+ they have landeskog o'reilly, EJ |
The Avs are going to need some defensemen first. EJ looks to be a late bloomer, but nobody else screams top-tier like a Keith-Seabrook or even HJALAAKJAAMALALASSON (not that Nik is top tier, but he's a solid top-4). But I agree they finally look like they're on the up-and-up. Moreso than the Oilers who had a head-start.
