Colorado Avalanche next season?

Question

How do you think the Colorado Avalanche will do next season?

If Joe Sakic ends up retiring and Peter Frosberg isn't there and Theodore and Joel Quinbell both gone as will. I can see them ending up with there first losing season with a losing record for the first time in franchise history.

Answer 1

Like the other two said, even if Sakic and Forsberg come back I will be surprised if they make the playoffs. It will for sure help them if they have both of them but I still don't think they have enough to make it...time will tell

Answer 2

evenif forsbeg and sakic come back, i doubt they'll make the playoffs, they lost brunette, who adds great secondary socring, and finger(not worth what torono gave him) was a very solid dman, and there goaltending situation is one of the worst in the league, with raycroft and budaj(unless one of them has an amazing season)

Answer 3

I'd say even with Sakic it might be a tough season.  of course if you get Sakic and Forsberg back (and healthy) that will help a lot, because no one can say that those two players won't help.  I would just be ready for a rough season.  With Sakic and Forsberg you'll probably need a couple great weeks of hoceky towards the end of the saeason to make a late run, but I would expect to be out of the race for most of the year.  It all comes to if you can make that late run.  Without them though i would throw in the towel pretty soon.
