Surprise, surprise… the Colorado Avalanche spent another NHL Free Agency Day on the sidelines.
As an avid Avs fan, that has been something that I’ve grown accustomed to over the last few years (as have I with our spot at the bottom of the standings). Whether or not these two are related is a discussion for a different time, but it is hard to ignore.
Outside of signing Craig Anderson in 2009, Jarome Iginla in 2014 and Francois Beauchemin in 2015, the Avalanche have not been a major player on Free Agency Day since 2007 when they signed Ryan Smyth to a five-year, $31.
