Avalanche of Makar
And we were supposed to be the furthest away from playoff picture according to the return we got!AND
Avs make playoffs after the deal below:
Sakic is a genius

Mcdavid is on a 4th worst team. Hes most valuable player to a tire fire.
Giroux, Hall, Mack, Kopitar all have a stronger case.
Obviously the hype train is on so i fully expect him to end up with another Hart.
Bookmarked.Will Colorado descend back to the bottom of their division next year? Quite likely.
But this isn't the time to have sour grapes over the failures of your own team and negate someone else. Looking at you, Calgary fan.
I think it's 50/50 either way. George McPhee should get a lot of credit for putting together a roster better than most people thought. The Avs weren't all that different from last year's roster... to do what Bednar did with it is pretty damn impressive. Granted MacKinnon had a lot to do with it too.
The avs changed more than 50% of the roster that started last season...
The Avs have proven more than capable to return exactly to that same place after a year of over achieving.
That said.....good luck
It is a team game. Not even Lemieux got the Pens anywhere at first.The Avs or Devils without MacKinnon or Hall go from playoff teams to lottery teams. The oilers without McDavid go from a non-playoff team to a lottery team. It should be obvious which is more valuable in that particular year.

This post is going to get heaps of likes. As it should. Lmao oooo boy.
In addition to getting Girard, trading Duchene made the Avs put all their eggs in one basket with the Bottle Kids Line and they've turned out to be more than the sum of their parts.
Zadorov also made a pretty big jump. Playing like the Destitute Man's Rob Blake rounded out a good top 4 on defense.
Fortunate the goaltenders alternated being injured.
I'm sure the mantras of "unsustainable" and "regression" are soon to follow, but consider the have 2 good defensive prospects in the pipeline with Makar and Timmy, forwards Jost, Compher and Kerfoot were rookies, Ottawa's 2019 1st and will have to spend to hit the cap floor next year.
Readng the comments from that moron Pietrangelo about how the NHL didn't want them in the PO makes this all that sweeter.
