First? Sakic made lots of very bad blunders in his first few years as GM. He has improved a lot, and Colorado has benefitted from some incredible luck, but there was a time when Sakic couldn't do anything right. He signed Joe Colbourne to a two year $5.0 m contract.

			He can't play more than 30/40 games a season.  This may be the worst contract of free agency so far.  This puts the Avs in a bind but I can't fault them for letting him walk if that contact is what it was going to take.

			They are going to try the 2-2-2 set-up. Francis is not stupid - just ahead of his time. Maybe 1-3-2.

Driedger should never have been a starter anyway.  He's 27 and played this one season... that is nowhere near enough of a history to make him the starter.
 
That being said, Grubauer is very injury prone, so maybe Driedger gets more games than expected anyway?
 
Now just send Vanacek this way...  :-)

What other mistakes did he make? I honestly don’t remember.
 
If your biggest blunder is a two year 2.5 AAV contract you’re probably doing a pretty good job.

I think people who were going to latch on to the Kraken as their new team need to consider that this is looking like a tire fire... Of course, they can still luck into Wright and Bedard.

			Wonder if the Avalanche go after someone like Quick. Or see if Fleury wants to stick it to Vegas and join a instant contender in the same division.

I doubt that the Avs can afford Fleury, and Chicago can’t afford to retain, cap wise.

			Driedger must be thrilled with this signing. 
 
Schwartz - Gourde - Eberle 
Tanev - Wennberg - Donskoi 
Jarnkrok - McCann - Appleton 
Twarynski - Blackwell - Bastian 
 
Giordano - Larsson 
Oleksiak - Dunn 
Soucy - Fleury 
 
Grubauer 
Driedger 
 
 
This team is going to be a pain in the ass. 
 
Still $16 million in cap space too.
