Joel Kiviranta is coming back to the Avalanche on a one year contract, helping the Avs bottom six finally begins to take shape. The fit for Kiviranta made too much sense after he went unsigned in the opening of free agency, but did the Avalanche sign him for too much at north of a million per year?

2025/07/30

The Avalanche made a trade, but maybe not the roster move we were hoping for, trading former first round pick Oscar Olausson to San Jose for Danil Gushchin. While the trade itself is fine business, it does bring up a conversation around the Avs draft history over the last five years. Is it a problem that they haven't been able to draft and develop a talent in recent years?
