As AJ on DNVR mentioned, the Avs are built “top heavy” as in it leverages the top tier talent on the roster in the top lines/combos to dominate (as opposed to some other teams that have mid-level talent but more spread around the lines/combos, see: Kings). When that top talent is hurt in bunches, the while system falls apart…
