What's the best free agent signing in Avalanche history? Ryan Smyth? Paul Kariya? Let's go with impact on the franchise, instead of pure talent level. |

As far as production and bang for your buck, I'd argue Andrew Brunette |

Agreed. Crazy production from a guy who could barely skate. |

We really have a bad track record of high profile signings not panning out.
Selanne, Kariya, Smyth, were never the players they were suppose to be joining this team and playing with Sakic.
I hope we stay away from that trend, going forward. Building within instead of signing big ticket forwards. |

Based in name alone it'd be a toss up between Kariya and Selanne, but I was always a fan of Brunette and Laperriere for the Avs based on what they brought.
Not really a team known for bringing in talent that works out via free agency...... There are some really big busts on our list. |

I see more than a few Laperrierre jerseys at the Pepsi Center. Good call. Hopefully Iggy can in the next couple years put the question to rest |

Your UFA target Stoll just got arrested for cocaine in Las Vegas...guess that target will be off the list this summer |

David Koci, the best Avalanche free agent signing.
Best resigning? Brandon Yip.

so just because of one arrest you're drawing a line in the sand on this? Do you really feel he crossed a line or does something just smell funky? |

Personally I dont think this should be a reason to keep away from him in UFA, but I can see him being Black balled by a few teams bc of this. NHL is always funny that way |

So who do you guys want at the #10 pick?
McDavid, Eichel, Hanifan, and Strome are easily gone by then.
Marner and Crouse most likely as well.......
Should be down to these guys depending on who gets slotted at #'s 6-9:
Rantanen, Barzal, Provorov, Zacha, Werenski
Based on talent and picking the best player available I'd pick in this order:
1.) McDavid
2.) Eichel
3.) Hanifan
4.) Strome
5.) Marner
6.) Crouse
7.) Rantanen
8.) Provorov
9.) Zacha
10.) Werenski - Avs pick
Honestly, can't go wrong in this draft at the #10 pick with all the depth. I'm in favor of moving down the draft once or twice and adding some prospect depth or a young player or two that can bring something to the table headed into next year. |

I'm hoping for Rantanen, that's our bigger area of need imo. |

I just hope we go best player available. Depending who is there in 10, I hope we selected based on this order
Provorov (pipe dream)- Rantanen - Werneski - Crouse - Zacha |

Corey Pronman seems to like Provorov to Colorado. I tend to trust his judgement on prospects.
I could see Crouse falling in the draft down near the 10 spot. And we are the kind of team that would be happy take him. |

I would be one happy guy to land Provorov (can we start calling him Provo Cop?)
He has the tools to be in the Top 4 next year, he has NHL size already.
I love Bigras and Geertsen as our Top D prospects, but I see more safe second pairing potential out of them, solid number 3s. Maybe Bigras develops further and can become a solid number 2 but we really dont have that stud D prospect that has Top pairing written all over him.
Just think in 2-3 seasons away you could have a homegrown D Core with the potential to plug in a solid Dman on every pairing...such as
Provo EJ
Bigras Barrie
Geertsen/Siemens Elliott
Now thats how you start to build real playoff contending teams. You dont overspend picking up spare part Dmen in UFA. |

Like this. It seems that d depth is more crucial than ever for the playoffs. |

Bigras and Siemens are two big variables for this team...if they develop, alot of the problems solve themselves. If not, well the cupboard is pretty bare back there. |

Thats why Provo or Werenski should be the main targets in this draft, if they are available, you have to pick 1 of them |
