Meanwhile, the AHL’s Colorado Eagles have hired Finnish coach Jussi Ahokas, a rising name with NHL potential, sparking questions about whether he’s a stepping stone—or a signal that Jared Bednar’s job is in jeopardy. But don’t count on it: Bednar’s position seems secure for now, especially since David Karl, who reportedly turned down other NHL gigs to stay home, might be waiting in the wings if things go south. With aging stars and looming big contracts like Cale Makar’s, the Avalanche face a delicate balancing act between present success and future sustainability.
