Given that he signed a 3 year term indicates to me that he picked the Avs as a potential cup winner. A one year shot, then sure go with Pittsburgh or Boston, as he did in the past. The Avs are young and on the rise, in my opinion. In 3 years, Pittsburgh and Boston my not be in the mix, or not as a "sure thing" as some seem to suggest.
The big issue is goaltending, and that is probably the biggest factor come playoff time.
