Last season for the Colorado Avalanche had lots of ups and downs, and plenty of what-ifs as well. What if they were injured to hell and back? What if they had gotten some more depth scoring?
But there’s one I think hasn’t been looked at much at all: what if Colorado didn’t win the Central Division?
They have won their division three years in a row, earning them a matchup with one of the wild card teams in the first round of the playoffs. However, the third time was not the charm as they were eliminated by the Seattle Kraken in seven games in the first round.
