While the Colorado Avalanche are unfortunately on a brief hiatus it serves as an opportunity to examine how things have unfolded through their first 20% of the season.

By the time decision day came on suiting up for his seventh game and subsequently starting the first year of his Entry Level Contract it was a foregone conclusion that he was going to remain with the Avalanche.
Through the first eight games of his very promising career Byram experienced more ups than downs as he adjusts to playing in the NHL.
