Colorado Avalanche Post July 1
Aarif Deen (mail bag) for Colorado Hockey: The Colorado Avalanche still doesn’t know what Martin Nicas will sign in the end. The wingers can come up with ideas in the 95-point season and then ask for $11 million in AAV not far away. Now, this will scare Colorado and may make them wonder why they broke up with Mikko Rantanen in the first place. It wouldn’t be surprised to see some kind of four to five-year deal.
Now, Colorado seems to have asked more questions on defense than they answered. Will Samuel Girard be traded? Will Sam Malinowski become a strange person? Has Brent been burning for a year?
Meanwhile, for the avalanche, this won’t be the same as last year. Jared Bednar will be allowed to give young players ice time in those deep roles without being forced to play more games. At least that’s the plan.
NHL Rumors: Colorado and Calgary
The Sean Behrens scene is probably the most attractive situation in Colorado. After the season of loss development, does anyone know what Behrens is really doing at this point? Colorado hopes it doesn’t have much impact.
Washington Search to Increase Skills
Sammi Sliber of Hockey News: Therefore, the Washington capital is trying to add some skills. But who can be there? Players like Justin Sourdif and Yegor Chinakhov could comply with the bill. Sourdif is only 24 years old. The Chinese are very promising, but it is not a secret that Dean Evason and him are not getting along. The striker asked for a trade.
Now, Washington doesn’t need to panic here. The capital can enter the 2025-26 season and let the players in their system develop. Washington can then reevaluate and see what happens later.
The secondary attack is always on the Washington radar. Unlike the last trade deadline, the capital may take action if the problem persists.
Lessons from free agents
daria tubeltseva by rg.org: Anyone who participates in professional sports knows how difficult it is to balance professional and family life. Dmitri Orlov learned that there are more ways than the Carolina way. Orlov split his family between the two states, which caused him the damage that it caused, bringing him to San Jose.
NHL Rumor: Team did ask Barzal
Orlov signed a two-year deal with $6.5 million AAV, more than anything else. It’s hard to start from Washington, but Carolina is even rougher. Orlov got the business and knew there were limited options.
