The Colorado Avalanche won the Stanley Cup 2022 finals against the Lightning after 6 games and it seems a bright future is in front of this franchise. The Avalanche lost only 4 games in the post-season. On the road to the finals they only lost two games, and the two that came against the Lightning in the finals. This was more than enough for the Avalanche to claim the title and become the best team in the NHL. Now there are a lot of things in front of them, before the start of the new season that is scheduled for 11th October.
The NHL is ready to proceed with 82 games and the bookmaker’s early odds offered Avalanche as the main favorite. The Avalanche were the biggest favorites for winning this season’s title and they delivered. From the start to the end they had the second-best record in the regular season and in the playoffs, they went 16-4 for a final 4-2 win against the Lightning.
The Champions need to consider their attack since they have problems with the salary cap and they might be limited, and they have some of their main starts and very important figures that brought the title to Denver as unrestricted free agents. However, backing the Avalanche to repeat will be hard but it can be worth investing in for the future.
