Trade is the talk of the town for the Colorado Avalanche. We know trades are coming, but the who and when is speculative.
According to GM Joe Sakic, Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen and Tyson Jost are the only untouchables on the roster.
This has led to a torrent of rumors focused primarily on captain Gabe Landeskog and alternate captain Matt Duchene being exchanged for a top pairing defensemen or defensive prospects and draft picks.
While this seems to be a strong possibility, there’s much more to consider before making a blockbuster trade.
Clearly the Colorado avalanche have a defensive problem.
