Are there even any players on the Colorado roster left over from the 2012 season?
You're grasping here. This was a team that traded good players away and played through growing pains.

They sure didn't sign Iginla to a three-year contract in 2014 with a promise of tanking for three seasons. They also got Briere and Stuart that summer.
Things did not go according to plan for the Avs. In the end, it might work out for them, but it definitely wasn't what they were expecting to happen.
