from Mark Kiszla of The Denver Post,
Would the Avs rather slam their fingers in the window than hoist the Stanley Cup?
It would really hurt to waste a hockey club blessed with the generational talent of Cale Makar, Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen.
Here we are, far enough into the NHL season for anybody in this dusty old cowtown not unhealthily obsessed with the mediocre Broncos to see the Avs have as good a shot as any team in the league to win a championship this season.
Except for one troublesome thing, and it’s the same old irksome thing: Colorado still hasn’t found a solid way to replace center Nazem Kadri from the fire trucks that rode through Denver during that glorious victory parade in 2022.
There’s a nagging hole in this team’s championship dream at 2C.
Can the Avs solve this problem without making a trade? Nothing in a 4-2 loss to Winnipeg gave me much reason for optimism.
When the Avs took the ice on Thursday night, their second-line center was … Ross Colton?
Wonder what they'd give us for Copp.
Yeah, but they said they need a Center, not expensive dead-weight.
In all serious, despite being paid as a 2C, Copp isn't a 2C. Yzerman made this mistake, other clubs aren't going to bail him out of it.
Copp has been one of the top-rated rentals in the couple TDLs before he signed in DET. He still may have enough cache to bring in a decent return.
