Colorado Avalanche
When the Avs got off the ice for their first practice of training camp, they were greeted with some great news:
Not only was Big Z able to come to terms on a contract, but he was in the building and is expected to be on the ice with his teammates later today. [MHH]
It’s not all rainbows and sunshine though, according to former Leafs reporter Damian Cox, Joe Sakic is leading the organization into the darkness. [The Star]
On the ice, Matt Duchene was working with some new linemates in the hopes to find some sort of semblance of normality.
