Just a few seasons ago we watched the 8th seed team in the West win the Cup, just make it to he dance and anything can happen. I would never write the Avs off of contention with the group they are iceing. People think losing Stastny will crush them, I don't think they realize that he was 5th in team scoring (with 60 points, now that alone is a crazy stat) and was by no means carrying this team. They just replaced that with a guy who had 3 more points last year and has one of the best shots in the league.
The best part about their forward group is that at age 22, 22, 20 and 18 they are just going to keep getting better and better.
