Now that the dust has settled following the Colorado Avalanche signing Tomas Tatar to a one year deal, we can now stop asking who might slide into that final forward spot when we would guess what the lines would look like in past episodes.

Tatar makes this roster not only complete, but as deep as any other team in the conference, and the Avalanche will once again be a difficult team to contend with from top to bottom.

However, one area of depth that might be lacking to start the season is the goalie position, as team GM Chris MacFarland stated Pavel Francouz will likely miss some time due to a lingering injury. How long will he miss? MacFarland did not say, but it is believed the team is looking for a replacement. Whether that replacement is short-term or long-term will likely determine how the Avalanche navigate this.

Finally, the Avalanche rookie camp is underway in Las Vegas, and the Avalanche have won both games they have played so far. Who looks good, who hasn't?
