Avalanche Roster: 5 Forwards Who Could Make the Team
The Colorado Avalanche made some significant roster moves over draft weekend and on free agency day. The top nine forward positions are looking pretty good to shake out in the following lines:
Jarome Iginla-Matt Duchene-Alex Tanguay
Gabriel Landeskog-Carl Soderberg-Nathan MacKinnon
Blake Comeau-John Mitchell-Mikhail Grigorenko (if signed)
The top nine will probably start out looking that way anyway — head coach Patrick Roy is almost certain to start trying MacKinnon on center more often, so he could move down to the third line while Mitchell moves up as Soderberg’s wing. Or [algebraic equation] what other combinations coach Roy might come up with.
