Joe Sakic Set to Meet the Media Thursday. What Can We Expect?

Colorado Avalanche face pivotal offseason changes as Joe Sakic prepares to address the media amid speculation about coaching shakeups—will Dave Hakstol be the fall guy after a disappointing power play and playoff exit?   Chris Micieli and Zach Pearson dissect Avalanche front office moves, Chris MacFarland's departure to Nashville, and the ongoing debate over Hakstol’s future behind the bench. The spotlight turns to the looming contracts of stars like Cale Makar and intriguing free agent projections for defensemen Nick Blankenburg and Brett Kulak. Plus, the hosts grade Jack Drury’s breakout season and test their hockey acumen with a challenging 82–0 Cap Wages roster-building game, building dream lineups from Avalanche history.   Will Sakic’s loyalty keep familiar faces around, or are bold changes coming to revitalize Colorado's Stanley Cup hopes?   Everydayer Club: If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
