Colorado Avalanche: Salary Cap and Addressing Need
Once the Colorado Avalanche sign their restricted free agents, they are limited in what they can do within the salary cap ceiling.
The Colorado Avalanche did not rock the world with blockbuster trades like certain teams did recently. However, on the eve of Free Agency Frenzy, it’s time to look at what the team can even do.
GM Joe Sakic has said the team doesn’t intend to “make a splash” in free agency. However, they intend to look to their depth with free agents. What’s more, he’s remarked that a top defenseman is something he wants — and that’s something the team may need to find in trade.
