Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic writes about some possible trades leading up to the trade deadline...
A lot will depend on where Colorado is in the standings closer to the Feb. 25 deadline but rest assured the idea of adding some secondary scoring would be the prime objective if the Avs decide to pull the trigger. Teams that have heard from the Avs aren’t sure yet how committed Colorado might be to making that kind of move. But there’s been chatter.
This is what I think: The Avs aren’t going to spend high-end, future assets in exchange for a big-name rental player.
