Thought it was an interesting take... even now I'm not sure what to think of the Golden Knights.
And as far as the Avalanche, I'm sadly looking forward to Saturday far more than the opener... **** the Wild.

If I was an Avalanche fan, this would be the greatest season ever. They can take a stab at getting in the playoffs and rolling the dice, while the Sens are floundering to a lottery pick. Imagine being a playoff team that drafts Jack Hughes 1st overall... Horrifying fail for Ottawa and Duchene, (who goes from one dumpster fire to another).
