It goes without saying that if the Avs are fully healthy, their six best defensemen and their six best forwards stack up with almost any team’s.But what if the reality is simply that the Avalanche will not be fully healthy when the playoffs arrive in one month?That’s increasingly plausible, especially for the forwards as captain Gabriel Landeskog inches without a timeline toward returning from his October knee surgery. As long as that remains the case, it’s Jared Bednar’s job to concoct a contingency plan as to who would be Colorado’s sixth member of the top six.The first five are established: Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, Valeri Nichushkin, Artturi Lehkonen and J.T. Compher. MacKinnon and Compher are the centers. For a sense of Bednar’s thought process about how to color the lineup around them, start with the most essential characters: MacKinnon and Rantanen, “our two best offensive players” as Bednar said Saturday after a 3-2 win...
