Well, I have to disagree here. I think the hype around the Avs is that they are a young team and their Captain is lock for many years at a cheap contract. So there is reasons to believe this team has a 4-5 years window in which they can make it to the cup. I was surprised to see Byram back to WHL, but when he will be in the NHL, likely next year, this team has hands down the best d-core in the league. Makar, Girard, Byram and Timmins, that is hell good. Their first line is scary, and Kadri will be a very good 2C. Now, I think there could be improvement on the bottom 6 and in the net. But they will be a powerhouse for many years, thanks to Sakic's wise management.
