Denver (AP) – Jarid Bednar’s function on the bench looks completely safe after Kolurado Avansh is expelled in the early rounds again.
General Manager Chris McFarland Bednar gave a confidence vote on Tuesday-“100 % confident of our Jared coach,” McFarland chanted at a press conference to dismantle.
Nevertheless, this exit from the first round to Dallas was particularly difficult to swallow McFarland and team leader/Famir Joe Sakic Hall. Not only because the previous Avalanche Forward chain turned into a stars seriesDiver Miko RantaninThe person who sent them mobilization with a hat hoax in game 7 was more because the front office believed a firm belief that they had assembly a team that could win another Stanley Cup title, just as they did in 2022.
“These are one stings. I will not lie to you,” Sakic said. “We knew that we have the team to do so. We feel that this year’s team was at the level of (2022). That is why this will go to the sting. It will defend for a little longer than other years.

One of them changes the collapse that was conducted in the wake of Dallas’s loss is to abandon the assistant coach Ray Bennett, who supervised the play. The collapse was 3 out of 22 with the man’s advantage against the stars.
“They (stars) did everything they need to be a major moments in the game dangerous and recorded (in),” Sakic said. “We didn’t have it in time. So at the end of the day, when you look at everything, this was the difference.”
Avalanche has gone beyond eight consecutive years under the leadership of Bednar, who is the best coach in the history of franchise. During this extension, they exceeded the second round until they won everything in 2022.
“I went through him as a player too. Sometimes things will not go on your way,” Sakic said of a series. “We have missed some opportunities and we did not benefit from it. But we will return again next year.”
Sakic said he was involved in the dealSend RantaninTo Carolina Hurricanes on January 24, which acquired Martin Nikas and Jack Drury. Then I sent Carolina Rantanin toDallas on March 7On the commercial deadline.
Rantanin has strengthened the ice collapse in the series-five goals, seven decisive passes-and continue to do this for years to come after approving a $ 96 million contract, eight years.
“What has been done,” said Sakic. “We were very confident of the group that we have here. Listen, we had a really good team here … … it was much deeper, much stronger than it was to start the year or Christmas time. We didn’t.”
Through all the shifts that dispel the third period in the series, Colorado was still 6:14 of progress-before Rantanin was associated.
“Everyone is frustrated,” said Sakic. “Everyone is disappointed, just because we felt that we were about to move.”
Now, some decisions. Striker Jonathan Darwin, Joel Kevrana, Jimmy Vice and Bruck Nelson with defenders Ryan Lindger and Eric Johnson are scheduled to be free agents.
McFarland does not oppose its operation, especially with the nucleus of Nathan McKinnon, Makar and Diphon Tawz’s agent, along with the return of their captain, Gabriel Landskog.
