The upcoming NHL season is a historical one for the Colorado Avalanche, as it is their 30th in Denver, after moving from Quebec in 1995. The team recently released a new logo to celebrate the anniversary season. Hopefully this season will be as successful as the inaugural year and produces another Stanley Cup championship.
As usual when an anniversary season arrives for a team in sports, the media often publishes lists and articles praising the best-of over the years. The Locked On Avalanche podcast recently published their 30 best players in the first 30 years list on X and I thought that one player was notably snubbed from the list.
