21. Colorado Avalanche
Colorado is a hard team to rank, and could easily be placed a few spots above or below where I have them.
The Avalanche have a ton of talent and very good goaltending, but they can’t seem to put it all together consistently. Is Patrick Roy the right man for the job? It sure seemed like it in 2013-14, but last season was a far reach from that. Only time will tell if they can rebound from a rough 2014-15 season and battle for a playoff spot next year.
