Colorado Avalanche Rebuild: Blowing Up the Core
The Colorado Avalanche must make changes to get them back to competitiveness. One option is to blow up the core and rebuild.
Doesn’t it seem like the Colorado Avalanche have been in a rebuild since, like, 2003? Or at least since 2005, when the salary cap was implemented.
Well, it looks like we might be in for another rebuild of sorts. Or a tweaking of the original rebuild.
You know the score by now. The Avalanche are dead-last in the NHL. According to NBC Sports, the Avs have a points percentage of .329. The only other team that has been worse in the salary cap era were the 2013-14 Buffalo Sabres, who were .317. That was a major rebuild year for them.
