The Colorado Avalanche’s top six is all but set in stone. Matt Duchene, along with Jarome Iginla and Alex Tanguay, as well as a second line of Carl Soderberg with Gabriel Landeskog and Nate MacKinnon, is seemingly all the team needs. However, that group may turn out to be worse than expected. Therefore, it would be smart to make a push to acquire another top six forward through free agency or trade, ideally before opening night.
That top six doesn’t look too bad in theory, but it may turn out to be.
