## Resource

Colorado Avalanche fans brace for a quiet offseason—are major shakeups off the table after a rollercoaster year? Chris Micieli and Zach Pearson address whether the Avalanche will “run it back” or make bold moves, weighing potential trades involving Valeri Nichushkin and Ross Colton. With Cale Makar’s contract expected to be the summer's headline, the hosts explore if depth tweaks are enough for a return to playoff dominance, or if targeting a top-six forward like Dylan Larkin even makes sense within the team’s cap constraints. The episode spotlights Ross Colton’s production drop, his future in Denver, and grades his season performance, while dissecting the team’s strategy after another tough postseason exit. NHL award buzz heats up as Scott Wedgewood’s Vezina Trophy finish, surprising voting results, and snubs for standout goaltenders like Jake Oettinger and Connor Hellebuyck round out a candid Avalanche-centric post-mortem. Will Colorado’s roster stability lead to redemption or stagnation next year?
