Avalanche hire Sacco
Pat Graham AP writes that Joe Sacco ” was introduced as the new coach of the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday, a day after the club fired Tony Granato and shook up its front office”…

This is an interesting development considering the Avs offered the position along with the GM duties to Patrick Roy recently. The hiring of Sacco as coach and Sherman as GM seems like a short term situation and from what I’m hearing it won’t be a big surprise if Roy comes on next year to fill those positions. We’ll have to wait and see.
