Maybe it’s a little early to ask this question considering the Avalanche don’t have their roster situated for next season, but does that even matter? Do the Avalanche have a mindset that they are confident they can keep putting together a winning team? If so, we can ask the question now, which is what would be a successful season next year for the Avalanche?
Is this still a Cup or Bust mentality?
We also give Alex Newhook his season grade. While it was a step back, are we still behind the youngster to improve next year like we expected him to this past year?

For me personally a successful season would be just stay in contention, whatever happens in the playoffs happens. I wanted 1 cup with this core, we got that so everything else is gravy
With the holes in the roster, lack of prospects and bottom six basically turning completely over, I'd say the top end would be making it to the 2nd rd of the playoffs would exceed realistic expectations
I think winning the division and making it to the 2nd round is a success. Expecting a Cup Final berth, much less a win, just doesn't seem feasible, but simply making the playoffs isn't really worthy of a Rick James "it's a celebration" either.
BAD TIME FOR AN EPISODE BUT MY NEWOOOK GRADE IS D-
