Daniel Briere is a 3rd liner at this point in his career....
Is the young players tenacity include the team that tanked to get a 1st overall pick?
MacKinnon does have skill and speed to burn, I'll give you that. And 3 other good young forwards. They still got a lot to prove before they are even considered contenders, let alone a favourite.

You're dwelling on the past.
They tanked 2 years ago. They got Mackinnon. He made an impact. They made the playoffs.
Some posters suggesting that, because they lost one player to FA (Statsny), the Avs are doomed. I'm not saying they're favourites to win the cup, but I am saying they're trending up. And as Mackinnon, Landeskog, O'Reilly & Duchene improve they'll only get better, whether Tanguay checks out or not. Sometime during Iggy's 3 years they'll have a good playoff run. Book it.
