From reading the article and comments here you’d think the intention was to replace Marian Hossa with Brad May.  I’ve got news for you Avalanche fans, Brad May’s replacing Aaron Downey, who spent all of last year in Grand Rapids.  Marian Hossa/Jiri Hudler/Dallas Drake/(insert decent player’s name here) he’s not.  He’ll probably fill Downey’s shoes just fine though.
