Revealing which team fans have the most confidende in their management
The Colorado Avalanche, defeated the former Stanley Cup Champions, the Tampa Bay Lightning, in a stiff rebuke of a three-peat.
But who set the team up for success? The front office, according to a survey regarding the 2021 season, came in 2nd in a poll by The Athletic, regarding their abilities.
Coming off a President's Trophy-winning season, along with the 2nd round playoff exit, Sakic completed a course correction that sent them to the finals.
Picking up Darcy Kuemper and Devon Toews were just small building blocks toward their cup-winning season.
«Sakic is an amazing GM. He shows the same drive, intelligence and patience as he did on the ice for the Avs, and I fully trust him to make the adjustments off and midseason to put Bednar and his team in the best position to push for the cup.»
Despite their off-season being weaker than last year, the public and fan base has a high amount of confidence in Bednar, Sakic, and the front office in Colorado.
With the Avalanche dethroning the Lightning, will there be a repeat in the future? That has yet to be seen, with Georgiev added after losing Kuemper this off-season, due to the "cup tax".
Regardless, the Colorado Avalanche are set for success, as long as Joe Sakic is in control.
