While the Colorado Avalanche may have not figured Brett Clark to have a place in their blossoming young team, at least one other General Manager thinks otherwise. The newly appointed Vice President and General Manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning was quick to snatch up such a catch.
Dan Winnik, come on down. You’re the newest member of the Colorado Avalanche. That’s right, in a move reminiscent of the old days, the Avs have forfeited a future (4th round, 2011) draft pick to our favorite Phoenix Coyotes in return for 25-year-old left winger Daniel Winnik.

The San Jose Sharks came out the victors in Game 6 against the Avalanche. This was a team the critics said would end the season in last place. It didn’t happen, the Avs went on to be the 8th place team in the Western Conference and have a chance at the Stanley Cup. The critics then said the young team from Colorado would get swept by the “powerhouse” Sharks in the first round. Again, didn’t happen. The Avalanche exited in Game 6 and blew all the critics away.
It has already been a brutal Stanley Cup Playoffs for the Colorado Avalanche, who have seen key players drop like flies to various injuries. If you go back to the Peter Mueller injury, things have been pretty bad. So much so that Coach Sacco has been forced to perform a game 4 roster shuffle.
After a great win in OT last night in Vancouver, the Avalanche headed to Edmonton to see what the Oilers were up to. For those who have never followed the NHL this season and have just happened upon this website by happenstance, the Oilers are last in the league and are pretty much guaranteed to get the 1st draft pick in Los Angeles this summer. However, the Avalanche still have a chance to move up in the standings, so every game still has meaning.
Twas a warm night in Arizona as the Avalanche took on the Coyotes. With Calgary’s loss last night, it guaranteed the Yotes a playoff spot. The Avs, however, still have some fighting to do. They need to win 5 of the next 9 games to solidify a playoff spot for the 2009-2010 season. Seeing how well they’ve done, it’s possible. But they’re still plagued with injuries, Peter Mueller being the most recent Avalanche player to join the list with a mysterious hip injury.
