Look at the Canucks last year. Or in 2005 for that matter. And if their back end blows they have a long time until the deadline to fix that. They'll be tough, no doubt about it.

Truth is, scoring is going to be a strength for the Avs, but they'll need some of those defensive-end players to kick it up a notch if they want to do anything <i>beyond</i> getting into the playoffs. They may be menacing in the regular season, but their playoff hopes are naught until they get some more back-end players.
