One of the bigger names the Avalanche need to hand a new contract to this offseason is, of course, Bowen Byram. The question remains on if it will be a bridge deal or a long term one. We might have gotten a glimpse into the market after the Montreal Canadiens signed Cole Caufield to a massive 8 year, $62.8 million deal. Seeing as how Caufield was drafted in the same year as Byram, does this have any impact on how the Avs negotiate with their defenseman?

We also discuss the new head coach hiring of the Anaheim Ducks, as they dip into the Avalanche pool to tab Greg Cronin, who has lead the AHL Colorado Eagles the past several years. Why we like this hiring, but of course how it leaves a void for the Avs AHL squad.

All that, plus ESPN cuts loose a good one.
