| C Joe Sakic's retirement has all but completed the changing of the Colorado Avalanche's guard. Patrick Roy retired six years ago, Peter Forsberg isn't likely to return after a one-year hiatus, and Adam Foote and Milan Hejduk, the lone remaining members of the 2001 Stanley Cup championship team, are entering the final year of their contracts. "We wish it would last forever, but that can't happen in anything, right?" Foote said.

Sakic scored 30 or more goals nine times, ranks seventh for playoff goals (84) and points (188), and holds the record for overtime goals in postseason play with eight. A first-round selection (15th overall) of the Quebec Nordiques in the 1987 NHL entry draft, Sakic won the Hart and Lady Byng Trophies and the Lester B. Pearson Award in 2001, and the Conn Smythe Trophy in 1996.
