Man Colorado are great. I think Sakic is doing a really solid job as GM. Keeps them competitive with the core and makes smart trades. A good young Dman to give away though. Both teams coming out good I think.

Great trade by the Avs, they get a legit decently young RD and gave up pretty much nothing. Helleson while a good prospect may not make the NHL nor does the 2nd pick. That's pretty much gambling by the Ducks.  Would've loved to give Rathbone and a 2nd to get a legit RD.

Ditto, but Colorado's [not] winning a cup without a goalie - Fla has two (Bobrovsky & Knight) and Tampa has Vasilevsky.  At this point, the series to watch will the Florida series.
