Chambers: Avalanche approaches NHL trade deadline with uncertainty
Codie McLachlan, The Canadian Press via AP Colorado Avalanche’s Samuel Girard (49) celebrates a goal against the Edmonton Oilers during the second period of an NHL hockey game Thursday, Feb. 1, 2018, in Edmonton, Alberta. The Feb. 26 NHL trade deadline is approaching and the Avalanche is close enough to taste the playoffs just a year after being the laughingstock of the league.
Shockingly, the Avs are in position to be a buyer at the deadline, a year after it hardly had anything to sell. They had good players a year ago but nobody was playing well and the team seemed contaminated by a losing culture.
