Man, that fall was so damn fun around here. There were several posters here that were attending training camp and giving writeups at the end of the day. Radar was earning more and more praise daily until he finally forced his way on to the team as the youngest Av.
One day, I'd like a peek at the Avs alternate universe wiki where they chose ROR and MacKinnon as their two centers.
That team might have been entirely different. The butterfly effect of one different decision would have been immense.
Probably no Makar, because they wouldn't have been bad enough to draft him. No Zadorov. Maybe no Saad without Zadorov. No Girard or Byram/Mitts, because they would have traded Duchene before that. Possibly no Toews, because they might have spent up against the cap to compete that year. Who knows what defenseman they would have brought in instead. Barrie might have been re-signed too.
Possibly no Bednar either, because the team would have been better earlier, especially defensively, so Roy might not have left.
Hard to tell if they'd have ended up with a Cup going that route.
