The Avalanche are betting big on Drouin, Johansen, and elite defense

The Colorado Avalanche officially put a bow on their off-season acquisitions yesterday by inking Ross Colton to a four-year four-million-dollar contract. In my opinion, this price will look better and better as time wears on for a guy that should be able to slot into the 3C role at a similar production level as the former Avalanche J.T. Compher. As for the infamous void at the second-line center position? The Avalanche are gambling on Ryan Johansen, who is returning from injury.

Looks like Ryan Johansen is geared up and ready to head to Colorado.
