I guess Veca was right, Smith was pimping himself for a job with the Avalanche.

Yup the Old One was right on the money, that's why Smith had his lips so tight on Colorado's butt.

Veca...don't be surprised if a certain french former retired player becomes the GM. Unofficial stories are he is looking to be a GM in the NHL this upcoming season...........

But great call Veca!

I'm thinking maybe the same thing, but I don't know if we're thinking of the same person. I think it may be Michel Goulet (he was a Nordique for many years and he's been special assistant to PL for the last year or so).

When pressed whether the Mighty Ducks exposed the Avs as too old school to succeed in a newfangled league that prizes fast, fresh skaters over seasoned ones, Lacroix again bristled.

"Well, the best way to answer again is, it's a game of momentum and when there are 22 teams playing golf and you're not, if you would have asked me the question after Dallas, you would have thought that we were too fast for Dallas. So, it's tough for me to answer," Lacroix said.
...
Speculation immediately centred on Hall of Fame forward Michael Goulet, 46, who has served at Lacroix's side since the Quebec Nordiques moved to Denver in 1995.

Goulet has been in charge of player personnel and player development for the Avs and last year served as special assistant to the president. He also fits the profile of somebody who wouldn't mind Lacroix looking over his shoulder as he grows into the job.

After looking like a Ferrari in the first round of the playoffs, the Colorado Avalanche resembled a Waste Management truck in the second.

What the team looks like after an off-season tuneup is anybody's guess.

Goaltending legend Patrick Roy seemed to rule himself out of the running for the vacant Colorado Avalanche GM job Wednesday, saying he's not ready for that kind of challenge at this point in time.
