Colorado Signs Joe Sakic To a One Year Deal

They will, Forsberg too. They have too much cap space not to. I hear Roy and Bourque might unretire as well. Then they can lose to the Red Wings in five games next May. Sorry.

Mean jokes aside. Sakic should re-sign, I see no reason not to and it certainly seems that Colorado believes he will because they sure have been quiet otherwise.

Colorado Avalanche

While Colorado sits on its thumbs and waits for one of the best centers to ever play the game to make up his mind about next year, they've done little else to improve this team, while crucial pieces of it from last year have fled.

Too many W's Wolski is their biggest signing/re-signing. The kid is only 22 years old and already has a 50 point and 48 point season under his belt.

Darcy Tucker. No. Next.

Kudos to Colorado for not taking any of Jose Theodore's crap. Andrew Raycroft, playing behind the best defense he's ever played for, should be fine in a tandem with Budaj. Raycroft had 37 wins two seasons ago but was abysmal in every other aspect playing for a Toronto team that was experiencing its last gasp of relevance. He's not as bad as his numbers but he's not that good either. I think Budaj remains the better option of the two but if you draft one you almost have to draft the other. If you want to be scared.. Mr. Wolski has as many W's in his name as Raycroft had W's last season (and he started 16 times!). Yikes.
