My wife is a Leafs fan, I knock wood as I say this, but the Leafs are looking good at the moment.
This has been happening more recently since the salary cap came in and the Avs were royally screwed by the economics. Coming out of the lockout they were essentially forced to choose between Forsberg and Sakic and had to give Foppa a fairly lowball offer to avoid completely gutting the team.
Management has taken a serious and harsh take it or leave it approach when re-signing their own players. They place a $ value on an asset make an offer to retain said asset and than go hide in their "bunker" as everyone likes to call it. If the player doesn't sign immediately they either don't return through UFA, or get shipped out.
It's getting tiresome but Kroenke and company pinch pennies when it comes to the Avs as many assume their true love and passion is soccer, and in N. America it's the Nuggets and the NBA.
