3. Is Jared Bednar still the right coach?

The Avalanche need to make sure that Jared Bednar is still the right person for the job. Bednar did a good job with the young team last year. After a tough coaching debut the year before. But this is a new year and things can change fast in hockey. Can he take this tam  to the next level?

He still lacks in coaching experience and they need to know that he can handle the job. A young team with a young coach. That can be a tough for any team to overcome. Sometimes a young team needs a more experienced coach to help guide them. A coach is a very important part of the team and you need he right one to help take the next step.

Bednar is a good coach but is the right coach for the Avalanche at this point. They are every young team that will go through growing pains. They need him to get them through it and past any obstacle. But the lack of experience may get in his way of understanding what the players are going thorough .

It may interesting to see if his strategies or playbook change for the 2018-19 season. If another under his belt changes how he coaches. This will be a question going into the season.
