Avalanche Prospect Humphreys Capped A Memorial Cup Run In Style

Christian Humphreys and Kitchener ending the Memorial Cup on top gives Colorado another prospect milestone to point at. Championship runs have a way of speeding up reputations, even when the NHL roster still sits a few steps away from the party. The Avalanche like seeing young players handle pressure, because that translates better than empty highlight reels ever do. For a team already thinking about its next wave, this kind of finish only adds to the internal buzz.
