Believe it or not, the start of the 2023-24 NHL season is nearly upon us with the Nashville Predators and the Tampa Bay Lightning opening the campaign on Oct. 10. The Colorado Avalanche, winners of the 2022 Stanley Cup, look to improve upon an unsuccessful title defence after succumbing to the Seattle Kraken in seven

After a career that lasted 474 regular-season games, Seattle Kraken forward Joonas Donskoi announced his retirement from the NHL at 31 years old. The decision came after he suffered a concussion in last year’s preseason, which forced him to miss the entire 2022-23 campaign. Here is a look back at his NHL journey. Signing With
I recently highlighted three of the best contracts that the Colorado Avalanche have on the books for the 2023-24 season, meaning it’s time to turn our gaze toward the worst contracts on the organization’s payroll. It’s a testament to the work done by the front office headed by Joe Sakic (president of hockey operations) and
Having completed offseason overviews for the Eastern Conference, let’s shift our focus out west, beginning with the Central Division. While it wasn’t as busy an offseason for Central teams as it was in the Atlantic and Metropolitan, there was still some player movement. Let’s break down each club’s offseason, starting with the Colorado Avalanche and
There was hope that Gabriel Landeskog would play for the Colorado Avalanche last season, but surgeries kept him out for the entire campaign. There is no such hope this season, as the Avalanche veteran will be sidelined for all of 2023-24. Landeskog has been the captain in Colorado for more than a decade. The team
At this stage of the NHL offseason, the Colorado Avalanche have accomplished all of their goals for the summer. They acquired a pair of centers (Ryan Johansen and Ross Colton) to fill the hole left by Nazem Kadri last offseason, signed the blossoming Bowen Byram to a bridge deal, and took fliers on players looking
For the past few seasons, the Colorado Avalanche have had one of the more imposing top lines in the NHL. Powerhouse Nathan MacKinnon leads the way, with Mikko Rantanen not far behind. However, it’s one of the team’s second-line forwards who will be key to helping the team challenge for the Stanley Cup. Valeri Nichushkin
With the 31st overall pick in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, the Colorado Avalanche have selected Mikhail Gulyayev from Omskie Yastreby of the Russian Junior Leagues (MHL) About Mikhail Gulyayev Of all of the defensemen projected to be selected in the first round of the 2023 NHL Draft, Mikhail Gulyayev was arguably the most consistent
In today’s NHL rumors rundown, it sounds like the Washington Capitals are set to hire Mitch Love as an assistant coach. Meanwhile, the Colorado Avalanche and defenseman Erik Johnson are parting ways as the defenseman will test free agency. The Calgary Flames made a big pitch to Elias Lindholm, and there are updates on the
One of the biggest holes in the Colorado Avalanche lineup in 2022-23 was the center spot on the second line. They never really got the answer they were looking for at the position, but it wasn’t for a lack of trying. Following the team’s run to the 2022 Stanley Cup, Colorado’s cap situation meant they
With many teams expected to lose some useful players to free agency this offseason, we continue to look at how the Calgary Flames might benefit. Next up is the Colorado Avalanche who will be making a sizeable shift with their forward group. J.T. Compher and Evan Rodrigues might be too rich for the Avalanche’s blood
J.T. Compher will become an unrestricted free agent (UFA) this summer, giving the Colorado Avalanche some tough decisions to make. They are in desperate need of a second-line center, with few available on the market. The Avalanche also don’t have a ton of cap space to work with, but with Gabriel Landeskog’s injury that will
There’s no getting around it – the Seattle Kraken’s first-round upset of the Colorado Avalanche marked the end of a thoroughly disappointing 2022-23 season defined by significant absences as a result of injury, and a lack of adequate depth to make up the difference. Philipp Grubauer and Jamie Oleksiak of the Seattle Kraken celebrate a
Matt Dumba is one of the top pending unrestricted free agent (UFA) defensemen set to hit the open market. As a result, he should garner plenty of interest this offseason. The Minnesota Wild have limited cap space due to the Ryan Suter and Zach Parise buyout penalties, so it appears more likely than not that
The 2023 postseason ended much sooner than expected for the Colorado Avalanche, but the extra couple of months will give them a long time to think about the next season. That might not be a bad thing, as the organization likely has a lot of decisions to make. After winning the franchise’s third Stanley Cup
In today’s NHL rumors rundown, a video surfaced of Connor McDavid seemingly nursing a knee injury. Is the Oilers’ captain dealing with a nagging issue? Meanwhile, the Toronto Maple Leafs were unable to put the Tampa Bay Lightning away in their first elimination game. What changes might be in store for their lineup? There is
With their series against the Seattle Kraken tied 2-2, the Colorado Avalanche got some less-than-stellar lineup news ahead of their Game 5 tilt, taking place on April 26 in Denver. Both Cale Makar and Valeri Nichushkin will be unavailable for the contest, but for different reasons. While Makar is only out for the night, courtesy
