Earlier this summer I voiced my opinion on some free agents who could have bolstered the Avs attack. Unfortunately, 2 of the 3 players on my list have since signed with other teams, one of whom is a division rival. Obviously I’m not thrilled about that and even go so far as to say I’m disappointed, but not necessarily surprised.
That being said, it would be unfair of me to criticise general manager Joe Sakic for sitting on his hands as he’s clearly been active. In addition to signing the Bourques to PTOs he had to find a new head coach with next to no notice.
