Colorado is probably going to be the team to beat next season. ESPN reports that “the former Anaheim teammates both took major pay cuts Thursday in agreeing to contracts with the Colorado Avalanche.” “‘When we both became free agents, we made a hockey decision,’ Kariya said at a news conference. ‘We both said, "Forget about the money, where’s the place we want to play?” And Colorado jumped out at both of us immediately. So we made things work monetarily.’“ Wow.
