Denver Post sports writer Corey Masisak opens up the Avs Mailbag periodically throughout the season. Pose an Avalanche- or NHL-related question for the Avs Mailbag.
Are the Avs still fundamentally content with the speed-centric build of the team, or are there inklings of wanting to get bigger and more physical to keep up in the playoffs?

I think trying to get bigger and finding more players who fit the idea of “playoff hockey” has been happening for at least two years now, but the Avs also aren’t going to drastically change their identity under Jared Bednar, either.
