Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:36:03 GMT

A franchise with patient and tactful repute around the NHL, the Avalanche energetically participated in the fanfare of unrestricted free agency out of necessity this year. Then Colorado leaned back and got comfortable.The market has dried since early July, but UFAs remain, as does salary cap space at altitude.

With Colton’s deal inked, approximately $2.8 million remains to fill three active roster spots.
