Brent Burns' Stanley Cup Clock is Ticking in Colorado

The Avalanche's veteran defenseman is running out of time to chase the one thing that's eluded him throughout his Hall of Fame career. Burns has been a perennial elite performer, but Father Time waits for no one, and Colorado knows this window is closing fast. The question isn't whether Burns can still play at an elite level - it's whether the Avalanche can build a championship roster around him before his window slams shut. Everything hinges on what happens in the next few seasons.
