Avalanche Mailbag: Does Colorado need a “hard-nosed, gritty” top-six forward at the trade deadline?

Denver Post sports writer Bennett Durando opens up the Avs Mailbag periodically throughout the season. Pose an Avalanche- or NHL-related question for the Avs Mailbag.

Bennett, what’s your take on the Avs signing Alex Galchenyuk? Do you think now with a better surrounding cast he could possibly regain some of that form he had early in his career? We could sure use another offensive weapon with our team getting the injury bug.

— Joe, Aurora

Recent history supports the notion that a better surrounding cast will benefit him.
