The 2013 Colorado Avalanche season has mercifully come to an end. The season, as a whole, was definitely a disappointing one for the Avalanche, who had such high hopes at the start of the season.

All true hockey fans have by now heard of Seth Jones. The young defenseman has rocketed up to the top of every major hockey scouting services’ rankings for the 2013 NHL entry draft.
