The Colorado Avalanche are 3-0 through their first three preseason games, and Jared Bednar’s clearly articulated systems and structure are a large reason for that success.
I believe this all starts with Bednar’s understanding of both the AHL lineup and the NHL lineup, as well as his ability to adjust to the World Cup. Bednar understands that his best players will be returning near the end of training camp.
This reminds me a little bit of an American League training camp — there’s more players, your best players start coming to you later on [World Cup] in the training camp.
