The Colorado Avalanche entered the 2025-26 season with one goal—winning the Stanley Cup. After capturing the Presidents' Trophy with an NHL-best 121 points, Colorado appeared destined for another championship run before suffering a stunning sweep at the hands of the Vegas Golden Knights in the Western Conference Final. Neil Smith and Vic Morren examine how one of the league's most talented rosters fell short, the playoff disappearance of several superstar players, and the difficult offseason facing General Manager Chris MacFarland as the Avalanche attempt to capitalize on what remains of their championship window. IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00:00] The Avalanche finish atop the NHL standings with the Presidents' Trophy before sweeping Los Angeles and defeating Minnesota in five games, only to be swept themselves by Vegas in the Western Conference Final. Neil and Vic revisit the preseason expectation that anything short of a Stanley Cup would be considered a disappointment. [00:01:00] Colorado's dominant regular season is reviewed, including a remarkable 31-2-7 start, two separate 10-game winning streaks, the league's best home and road records, and elite performances at both ends of the ice. The panel also discusses the surprising weakness of an all-star power play that somehow finished near the bottom of the NHL despite its immense talent. [00:03:00] The discussion turns to Colorado's star-studded roster. Nathan MacKinnon leads the NHL with 53 goals, Martin Nečas records his first 100-point season, Brock Nelson scores 30 goals once again, and Cale Makar remains among the league's elite defensemen before the stars unexpectedly go quiet during the conference final against Vegas. [00:04:00] Neil and Vic examine the collapse against the Golden Knights as Colorado's biggest offensive weapons—including MacKinnon, Nečas, Makar, and Nelson—struggle simultaneously. They compare the Avalanche's postseason exit to recent playoff disappointments by other Stanley Cup contenders whose stars failed to produce at the most critical time. [00:05:00] Colorado's goaltending situation is debated following another successful regular season from Mackenzie Blackwood and Scott Wedgewood. Neil questions whether the Avalanche's goaltending matched the elite talent in front of them, while acknowledging that history has shown teams can still win championships with solid—but not necessarily superstar—goaltending. [00:07:00] Attention shifts to Chris MacFarland's offseason challenges. The Avalanche enter the 2026 NHL Draft with eight selections but will not make their first pick until the fourth round after aggressively trading premium draft capital in recent seasons to strengthen a championship-caliber roster. [00:09:00] Neil explains the difficult reality of managing a veteran contender with limited draft assets after pushing nearly every chip to the center of the table. Vic outlines how Colorado accumulated additional selections later in the draft while reviewing the transactions that cost the Avalanche their early-round picks. [00:10:00] The panel reviews Colorado's pending free agents, including Joel Kiviranta, Brent Burns, Brett Kulak, Jack Ahcan, Nick Blankenburg, restricted free agent Jack Drury, and Zakhar Bardakov. Neil identifies Drury as the organization's top contract priority after his strong two-way season. [00:11:30] The episode concludes with a discussion about Colorado's championship window. Neil believes the Avalanche remain the NHL's most talented team and cautions against overreacting to one disappointing playoff series. With Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, and the core still intact, he estimates Colorado has another two to three years to capture another Stanley Cup, provided the organization makes smart decisions without disrupting an elite roster.

Today Meghan Angley is joined by Denver Gazette Avalanche beat writer Evan Rawal to break down every major move from the Colorado Avalanche's offseason and what it all means heading into the 2026-27 season. We discuss the team's decision to bring back Brent Burns, Brett Kulak's long-term extension, and whether those deals make sense in the bigger picture. We also dive into the departures of Ross Colton, Val Nichushkin, and Jack Drury, and examine what Colorado gained in return with additions like Zach L'Heureux, Fedor Svechkov, Jaden Schwartz, Noah Juulsen, and more. Plus, Evan shares his thoughts on the Avalanche's 2026 draft class, development camp standouts, the current state of the prospect pipeline, and the organization's goaltending depth. We wrap up by predicting Colorado's opening-night roster, highlighting the biggest training camp battles, and discussing what still needs to go right for this team to make another Stanley Cup run.

The hosts discuss the pros and cons of the team's moves, including the signings of Trouba and Nurse, and whether they're worth the price tag. Meanwhile, the Warriors are taking a more cautious approach, waiting to see if Lebron James will join the team. But is it a smart move, or are they just playing it safe?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The guys welcome in Sportsnet hockey analyst and Pro Hockey Group's Jason Bukala (16:35) to weigh in on the Leafs' first pick, how teams should temper expectations for draft prospects entering the league, concerns with Viggo Björck's size, and what it says about the Kraken franchise getting turned down by big free agents.

0:00 - The deal's not done, but the Chicago Bears are most likely headed to Hammond, Indiana. Who cares if it's just up the road from Chicago? It's a different state!

The deadline is July 8th. Starting with the NHL, Griffin lays out his case for the Vegas Golden Knights as a plus-money play in Raleigh. Carolina enters as heavy home favorites after losing just one game across three playoff rounds, but that loss came in Game 1 of the Eastern Final after an extended layoff, a detail Griffin finds relevant as Vegas arrives with its own rest-and-rust dynamic following a sweep of the Colorado Avalanche. Cale Makar's injury limited Colorado at key moments, which gives the Golden Knights some credit for how they navigated that series. Griffin likes Vegas on the money line at plus-132, the series price at plus-127, and is targeting the under six rather than under five and a half to avoid the empty-netter problem that has burned under bettors throughout these playoffs. The MLB breakdown covers every game on the board. Griffin passes on the Padres and Phillies despite a soft Nola start because the overall offensive environment makes it a coin flip. He moves past Detroit and Tampa Bay after finding Jack Flaherty unbackable at any number in his current form and the Rays too expensive for his framework. He finds a clear lean in Washington, where the Nationals are priced at a shockingly cheap minus-111 against Miami's bullpen game, and C.J. Abrams, James Wood, and the rest of a hot-hitting club make that number feel like a gift. Baltimore and Boston shape up as a borderline under at Fenway, and Griffin acknowledges the park's history of eating unders alive before moving on. Cam Schlittler and the Yankees are simply too dominant to fade at any price. Noah Cameron gets some love from Griffin but the Royals bullpen situation, highlighted by a rough week from closer Lucas Erceg, makes Kansas City impossible to trust even if the starter delivers. The Braves look cheap at minus-122 against Toronto, and Bryce Elder's 2026 track record in Atlanta earns Griffin's lean in that direction. Kyle Harrison's continued dominance in Milwaukee, now at 18 consecutive scoreless innings, makes the former top prospect one of the more fascinating stories on the June 2nd card, though Griffin passes on the game itself. Davis Martin and the White Sox visiting Minnesota provides little grip for Griffin, who moves quickly. In St. Louis, he finds one of the night's more interesting numbers at plus-100 on the Cardinals with Dustin May facing Nathan Eovaldi, noting the Rangers' home run problems and Jordan Walker's hot stretch as reasons to look at the Cardinals price. Gage Jump's early big-league exposure at Wrigley Field against Jameson Taillon in a wind-in environment is a situation Griffin monitors but does not commit to. Mike Burrows and Houston get a lean at minus-110 against Pittsburgh. Grayson Rodriguez and the Angels as minus-155 against the Rockies is a price Griffin finds heavy given Rodriguez's injury history, though Colorado plus-140 is a number he admits he will be tracking closely before first pitch. And Michael Soroka's plus-107 price against the Dodgers in Arizona becomes the final talking point, with Griffin identifying his buy price at around plus-100 and expressing genuine affinity for the Diamondbacks in that spot. The official What I Bet Best Bet to close the show is the Washington Nationals minus-112, a number Griffin calls simply too cheap against a Miami team running a bullpen game. The show is three and one over its last four Best Bets.
