Granato In

The Avs go back to Tony Granato. It seems like a decent, though uninspired, move on the Avs part. Granato had a solid record during his first turn behind the bench at 72-33-28 over a season and change and stepped aside when Quenneville became available. He is familiar with the younger players on the team and likely spent quite a bit of time with them as assistant. He knows the dressing room and will get the most out of whoever he has on hand come September. I suspect that he'll do better work this time around, but won't have the high powered names to result in a better record.
