Goal I'll call even.
Up until Iginla signed with Colorado, I don't think anybody here considered the Avs a contender. Especially not how they played against Minnisota in the playoffs; they couldn't even stand up to Minnisota, let alone LA, Anahaim, Chicago and St Louis who are all a tier ahead of them. Colorado is a tier 2 team.

I don't know if they are a contender this year at all, but they have the pieces that within 3 years I can see them making a serious run at it. Term is the key for me in the deal, if it was 1 year at 5mil I think that would have been a money chase over any chance at a cup for sure.
