With the end of the 2021 season coming a lot earlier for the Colorado Avalanche than many expected, general manager Joe Sakic and his front office will need to get to work quickly as they have a very busy offseason ahead of them.
Aside from looking outside the organization for ways to bolster the lineup, Sakic has to worry about both an expansion draft and re-singing some of the biggest pieces of his current roster.
Cale Makar is a restricted free agent while Brandon Saad, Philipp Grubauer and captain Gabriel Landeskog are all set to become unrestricted free agents.
