It’s that time of year. The Colorado Avalanche, like many teams in the NHL, are facing down the trade deadline. Are they buyers? Are they sellers? The answer changes game by game.
One name that started cropping up recently concerning trades is defenseman Nikita Zadorov. When you think of the Avs and trading a defenseman, you usually think of Tyson Barrie. But, no, Eliotte Freedman put that thought out into the universe that teams were asking Zadorov, and it’s taken flight.
My understanding is that teams are always talking to each other about various scenarios, but moving on.
