The avalanche are stacked much like the braves, kings (nba), etc. Not the best team but pretty close. The avalanche have a ton of homegrown talent so they haven't needed to go out and spend quite as much as the wings have. The avs were the better team probably once since they got their team in 96 and that was last year.
I think the NHL needs to dramatically change how they do things. Maybe they should have a salary cap or something but there are about eight teams tops that have a chance at any good free aganets. The wings are tops, followed by the avs, than about 6 teams follow them than there are the rest of the teams. I put the wings tops because of how hull, robitaille, and hasek all jumped at the chance toplay there. The wings do have it made....Hasek was sold on the fact that the wings were gunning for the win.
I still have watched the wings nearly every game in the playoffs. Think of the fans in Major League Baseball who criticize their team constantly yet still go to every game.
Side note, that was cool that Carolina beat Toronto on the road. The canes going to the cup finals would be like washington going a few years back. I could see the wings scoring 5 on Irbe in a 4 game sweep.
