With fourth-year Avalanche center Ryan O'Reilly unsigned and seven defensemen locked into one-way contracts, a possible roster spot with Colorado could go to a 14th forward, and former undrafted free agent Mike Sgarbossa could be that man.
Sgarbossa, who last season was obtained from the San Jose Sharks in the six-player deal that also brought Jamie McGinn to Colorado, is having a terrific rookie year as a pro. The 21-year-old Sgarbossa was second in scoring with the Lake Erie Monsters of the American Hockey League with 28 points, and tied for first with 13 goals and four power-play tallies. He led the Ontario Hockey League in scoring last season with 102 points, becoming the first Sudbury Wolves player to do that since Mike Foligno in 1978-79.
