Summary
Today Meghan Angley is joined by Denver Gazette Avalanche beat writer Evan Rawal to break down every major move from the Colorado Avalanche's offseason and what it all means heading into the 2026-27 season. We discuss the team's decision to bring back Brent Burns, Brett Kulak's long-term extension, and whether those deals make sense in the bigger picture. We also dive into the departures of Ross Colton, Val Nichushkin, and Jack Drury, and examine what Colorado gained in return with additions like Zach L'Heureux, Fedor Svechkov, Jaden Schwartz, Noah Juulsen, and more. Plus, Evan shares his thoughts on the Avalanche's 2026 draft class, development camp standouts, the current state of the prospect pipeline, and the organization's goaltending depth. We wrap up by predicting Colorado's opening-night roster, highlighting the biggest training camp battles, and discussing what still needs to go right for this team to make another Stanley Cup run.
