They have made some bets that could turn into serious home runs for the next season, adding Ryan Johansen, Ross Colton, and Miles Wood.
However, the acquisitions that are garnering more attention in Montreal are those of Jonathan Drouin and Tomas Tatar.

At $1.5 million for Tatar and $825,000 for Drouin, the Avalanche could have seriously gotten their hands on two of the best bargains on this year's free agent market.
