The Colorado look to have a pretty well-rounded roster. They went out in the offseason and made some low-key brilliant acquisitions. They’ve also got young players who are sure to take their next step in development.
Obviously, the elephant in the room is that Colorado doesn’t have star winger Mikko Rantanen signed just yet. I’m going to make a bold prediction that I firmly believe is true — Rantanen will be signed by training camp.
Anyway, I fully expect the top line will consist of Nathan MacKinnon with Rantanen at his wing. Now in a previous post, I did explore the idea of taking captain Gabriel Landeskog off that top line to spread out some of the scoring brilliance:
I’m going to keep that option open for this exercise.
