The 2016–17 Colorado Avalanche season was the 38th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 22, 1979, and 21st season since the franchise relocated from Quebec prior to the start of the 1995–96 NHL season. Colorado did not make the playoffs for the third consecutive year and also finished the season with their fewest points since moving to Denver in 1995, and their fewest since 1990-91. Their 22 wins were easily the fewest in the Colorado portion of franchise history, and their fewest since 1991-92.
On August 11, 2016, Patrick Roy resigned as head coach and vice president of hockey operations. On August 25, the Avalanche hired Jared Bednar of the American Hockey League's Cleveland Monsters as Roy's replacement. He had led the Monsters to winning the AHL championship in the previous season.
