An excerpt from The Hockey News (Sam McCaig):

Colorado Avalanche

The Avs have been a top contender (and two-time Stanley Cup champion) since relocating to Denver from Quebec City in 1995. Fans in Colorado have been spoiled by a succession of 100-point regular seasons and long playoff runs. This year, however, might be a harsh reality check. Joe Sakic is still wavering on returning for a 20th NHL season – the smart money says he’ll be back – and a goaltending tandem of Peter Budaj and Andrew Raycroft does not intimidate. Missing the playoffs for a second time in three years is very possible.
