Avs Snoozer Of An Off-Season Only Getting Started

Anyone know any good jokes?

Sorry it’s been a bit since I’ve written. One of the joys of later life is tending to late or aging parents and their affairs, and that’s essentially what I’ve been doing nonstop for the last week or so here in Keene, N.H.

Cleaning out a big house, getting everything disposed of, getting it on the market, and a gazillion other little things are part of the fun. It’s completely exhausting, expensive and time-consuming, but it’s something kids need to do if they can.

It’s not like there has been much going on with the Avs lately though. When your team’s season ends “early”, the off-seasons are loooong. It can be a couple weeks at a time before anything newsworthy happens. That’s been the case lately.

The NHL Draft is still a month or so away and the Avs don’t own a first-round pick. NHL free agency isn’t until July 1st - five weeks. And, I don’t think it’s going to be too exciting of a time for Avs fans. I expect the Avs to say goodbye that day to Brock Nelson, Jonathan Drouin and Ryan Lindgren, among others.
