Emily Kaplan and Chris Peters of ESPN: Looking at the keys to the Colorado Avalanche’s offseason.
An extension for Mikko Rantanen – The Avs biggest priority this offseason is to get winger Mikko Rantanen signed to a long-term contract extension. Rantanen should make a lot more than the cap friendly deals for Nathan MacKinnon ($6.3 million through 2022-23) and Gabriel Landeskog ($5.5 million through 2020-21). They have the salary cap space for any new deal.
Goaltending beyond Grubauer – Grubauer should be their starter next season.
