The very, very difficult Avalanche roster choices awaiting Jared Bednar

On this, day 8,932 of the hockey shutdown – or so it has seemed to me – I looked over the current Avalanche roster again and I just see some very tough choices Jared Bednar and his staff will have to make when it comes to who plays and who sits among the forward group for the NHL playoffs. (Standard disclaimer: if there is a playoff).

We’ve talked about this some before, but as the time of formal training camp (July 10) gets closer, I wanted to do some minor free-association, off-the-top-of-my-head discussion with myself about who will be among the top 12 forwards when/if the playoffs start.
