Avs central: 1st blog/ MacKinnon

Wierd.
Teams like Florida and Pheonix that have no fan base what-so-ever and have to give out free tickets with Subway meals to even get enough people to fill the lower bowl of their rinks have HockeyBuzz bloggers and Coloado doesn't. Now what's up with that? Those teams have approximatly 10 people that read the blogs but if Coloado had a dedicated blogger there would be as many readers as Cloutier or Yost has. Colorado is one of the best hockey markets in the US, there are lots of Avs fans on Hockeybuzz that would love if there was a dedicated blogger for the Avs. I hope to be that guy and I'm hopefully going to write about the Avs for the next while and satisfy Avalanches fans desire for good hockey opinions and blogs.
Welcome to Avs Central.....
As for the actual blog....
I'm a Oilers fan. I like Edmonton. I don't really cheer for anyone other than Edmonton. But Colorado is a team that I might like if I start paying more attention and watch them play. They are a team on the rise. Like Edmonton. The Avs are filled with young players. Landeskog, Duchene, O'Reilly among others. And the 1st overall selection.... MacKinnon. He's the main reason I want to start bloging about the Avs. I live near Halifax and have watched MacKinnon all year long and absolutely loved his play. He's a great offensive player with lots of skill but is also good in the defensive end. The complete package. He's a great addition to Colorado.
The problem with MacKinnon is that he's center. Colorado already has their top 3 centers in Stastny, Duchene and O'Reilly. Where does MacKinnon fit? Stastny with his oversized contract and older age is definatly the one to go. Trade him for a defense for the 2nd pairing and then make the centers Duchene, MacKinnon, O'Reilly. This is great depth at center and Duchene MacKinnon will be a terrifying 1 2 punch for teams to play against.
This makes drafting MacKinnon a little less questionable and should put to rest some of the controversy over the Avs choice of drafting MacKinnon over Jones even though they have a gaping hole on defense.
What do you think, did the Avs make the right choice?
