Top Avalanche News

  • Avalanche's Victor Olofsson: Links up with Colorado

    Olofsson signed a one-year, $1.575 million contract with the Avalanche on Tuesday, per PuckPedia.

    Olofsson's deal comes in just above the $1.075 million cap hit he secured with Vegas last season. Still, the 30-year-old winger provides the Avalanche with a veteran middle-six option. He's unlikely to be a big factor in fantasy initially, but if Colorado has poor injury luck again, Olofsson could find himself in a top-six role at times throughout 2025-26.

  • Avalanche's Alex Gagne: Signs entry-level contract

    Gagne signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the Avalanche on Monday.

    Gagne spent the past four years at the University of New Hampshire, and he recorded double-digit points in each of the last two seasons. Most recently, he racked up four goals, 13 assists and 46 PIM over 35 appearances during the 2024-25 campaign. He'll attempt to compete for a role as part of the Avalanche organization during the 2025-26 season.

  • Avalanche's Joel Kiviranta: Returning to Avs

    Kiviranta agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Colorado on Friday.

    Kiviranta returns to the Avs after racking up 16 goals and seven helpers -- both career highs -- in 79 regular-season contests last year. Despite the solid overall numbers, it was an underwhelming end to the campaign for the 29-year-old winger, as he ended the year mired in a 15-game pointless streak, including the playoffs. With Kiviranta back under contract, he figures to slot into a bottom-six role for the club.

  • Avalanche's Danil Gushchin: Traded Friday

    Gushchin was acquired by Colorado from San Jose on Friday in exchange for Oskar Olausson. Per CBS, Gushchin signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Avalanche as well.

    Gushchin had 28 goals, 51 points and 34 PIM across 56 regular-season outings with AHL San Jose in 2024-25. He also recorded an assist, six PIM and six hits in 12 appearances with the Sharks. The 23-year-old will probably start 2025-26 in the minors.

  • Avalanche's Josh Manson: Gets two-year extension

    Manson signed a two-year, $7.9 million contract extension with the Avalanche on Thursday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet. His new deal runs through the 2027-28 campaign.

    Manson has one season remaining on his four-year, $18 million contract, so his new agreement won't start right away. He's taking a bit of a cut in pay, but Manson will celebrate his 34th birthday Oct. 7, so the Avalanche are locking him up late into his career. Manson had a goal, 15 points, 28 PIM, 65 shots, 105 hits and 59 blocks in 48 regular-season appearances in 2024-25. He has appeared in at least 70 regular-season games in just one of the last six seasons, which is a significant concern, but Manson does offer plenty of grit from the blue line when healthy.

  • Avalanche's Alex Barre-Boulet: Pens one-year deal

    Barre-Boulet signed a one-year, two-way contract with Colorado on Friday.

    Barre-Boulet played two games with Montreal at the start of the 2024-25 campaign, picking up three hits and a minor penalty. The 28-year-old was then placed on waivers and spent the rest of the regular season with AHL Laval, where he managed 22 goals and 63 points in 64 appearances. Expect Barre-Boulet to spend most of the 2025-26 campaign in the minors, barring a slew of injuries up front.

  • Avalanche's Brent Burns: Links up with Colorado

    Burns signed a one-year contract with the Avalanche on Wednesday.

    Per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, it's a $1 million contract with up to $3 million in bonuses for games-played thresholds. Burns will join a contending team for his age-40 season. With Cale Makar firmly entrenched on the top power-play unit, Burns will likely see time on the second unit and may see reduced ice time in all situations. Burns was limited to 29 points in 82 regular-season contests last year and has declined significantly in each of the last two seasons, but he's still averaged over 20 minutes of ice time per game, so he's far from running on empty even this late in his career. He has played in 925 consecutive games and would become the second player in league history to play in 1,000 games without an absence if he stays healthy for the vast majority of 2025-26.

  • Avalanche's Ronnie Attard: Secures two-way deal

    Attard inked a one-year, two-way contract with Colorado on Tuesday.

    Attard failed to make an NHL appearance last year despite spending time with both the Flyers and Oilers organizations. While he went pointless in seven games with AHL Lehigh Valley, the Michigan native managed seven goals and 10 assists in 59 regular-season tilts with AHL Bakersfield. A depth option for the Avs, Attard figures to start the year in the minors.

  • Avalanche's T.J. Tynan: Staying in Colorado

    Tynan signed a one-year contract with the Avalanche on Tuesday.

    Tynan had eight goals and 49 points in 52 regular-season games with AHL Colorado last campaign. He also earned one assist in nine NHL outings during the 2024-25 regular season. Tynan will probably spend most, if not all, of the 2025-26 campaign in the minors.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Avalanche's Jack Ahcan: Secures one-year deal

    Ahcan signed a one-year contract with Colorado on Tuesday.

    Ahcan logged just two games for the Avs last year in which he recorded one shot, two PIM and three hits while averaging 15:48 of ice time. The 28-year-old defenseman will likely serve primarily with AHL Colorado but could get called up periodically if there are injury concerns on the Avalanche's blue line.

  • Avalanche's Parker Kelly: Extends stay with Colorado

    Kelly signed a four-year, $6.8 million contract extension with the Avalanche on Tuesday.

    Kelly has had similar rates of production over the last two campaigns, contributing 18 points over 80 regular-season games in 2023-24, and he logged 19 points over 80 regular-season contests in 2024-25. The left-shot forward will continue to fill a depth role for the Avalanche this coming season, most likely on the fourth line.

  • Avalanche's Trent Miner: Staying with club

    Miner inked a two-year contract with Colorado on Monday.

    Miner put together a fantastic campaign with AHL Colorado this season, going 22-10-6 with a .918 save percentage and 2.12 GAA in 38 regular-season contests. Selected by the Avalanche in the seventh round of the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, the 24-year-old backstop faces an uphill battle to becoming an NHL netminder, as he's blocked by Mackenzie Blackwood and Scott Wedgewood for the upcoming campaign.

  • Avalanche's Sam Malinski: Agrees to one-year contract

    Malinski signed a one-year, $1.4 million contract with Colorado on Monday, per PuckPedia.

    Malinski generated five goals, 15 points, 115 shots on net, 107 blocked shots and 57 hits across 76 games during the 2024-25 regular season. He could enter the 2025-26 campaign on Colorado's third pairing but proved capable of handling top-four minutes last campaign when injuries piled up.

  • Avalanche's Francesco Dell'Elce: Latest UMass star to join Avs

    Dell'Elce was the 77th overall pick by Colorado in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday.

    Colorado had a ton of success drafting Cale Makar out of the University of Massachusetts a handful of years ago, and the team went back to the well with Dell'Elce's selection. The 20-year-old Dell'Elce arrived at UMass this past season, posting seven goals and 24 points in 40 games. He doesn't possess anything approaching Makar's dynamic skills, but Dell'Elce is mobile, can shoot the puck, and thinks the game well, particularly from an offensive standpoint.

  • Avalanche's Gavin Brindley: Acquired with picks for veterans

    Brindley, a 2027 second-round pick and a 2025 third-round selection were acquired by Colorado from Columbus on Friday in exchange for Charlie Coyle and Miles Wood, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

    Brindley had six goals, 17 points and 24 PIM in 52 regular-season appearances with AHL Cleveland in 2024-25. Columbus originally took Brindley with the No. 34 overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft. He excelled with the University of Michigan, supplying 25 goals and 53 points in 40 outings as a sophomore in 2023-24, but he likely needs more time in the minors to develop.

  • Avalanche's Miles Wood: Traded to Columbus

    Wood has been traded, along with Charlie Coyle, from the Avalanche to the Blue Jackets on Friday for two draft picks and Gavin Brindley, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

    Wood spent much of the year battling injuries, as he played in only 37 regular-season games, producing just eight points. The 29-year-old then spent most of the postseason as a healthy scratch, appearing in just one of seven games in Colorado's first-round series loss to Dallas. The Avalanche, cap-strapped before this trade, clear a $2.5 million cap hit for the next four seasons, while Wood will likely slide right into a bottom-six role with the Blue Jackets.

  • Avalanche's Jason Polin: Inks one-year deal

    Polin signed a one-year, two-way contract with Colorado on Friday, Meghan Angley of Guerilla Sports reports.

    Polin was pointless in two regular-season games with the Avalanche in 2024-25. The 26-year-old had 11 goals and eight helpers across 39 AHL regular-season contests. He should spend next season shuffling between the Avalanche and AHL Colorado.
