An entire week has passed since the Game 7 loss two weekends ago. Honestly, I think this is the best time to start looking ahead. I know a lot of you are upset with me really digging my teeth into the Mikko Rantanen thing. But even I have, and will continue to admit that the Avalanche’s roster is still highly talented and the front office can really make a splash this summer. With that, let’s dive into some of the changes that could come Colorado’s way.

While Mikko Rantanen was helping Dallas take a 2-1 series lead over the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday, Nazem Kadri chimed in with his thoughts about his former teammate. Rule number one : You always keep the dawgs … #96— Nazem Kadri (@43_Kadri) May 11, 2025“Rule number one: you always keep the dawgs …. #96,” his post on X/Twitter read. Kadri was, of course, referring to the trade that shipped Rantanen out of Colorado in January.

Nathan MacKinnon is putting up points for Team Canada. Also, the Hurricanes are back on top and the Golden Knights scored an epic game-winning goal. All that and more on this edition of Deen’s Daily — May 11. Nathan MacKinnon and Team Canada were victorious at the World Championships. They beat up on Slovenia, winning 4-0 led by MacKinnon’s goal and two assists. I do enjoy seeing MacKinnon and Travis Konecny on the same line. Those guys are close buddies.

Mikko Rantanen was held off the scoresheet. And so were all of his teammates. The Florida Panthers persevered in Game 3, and the Devils are making coaching changes. All that and more on this edition of Deen’s Daily — May 10. It’s been nearly a week since Game 7, and I gotta say, I already miss it. I’m not sure how long it’ll take until most of Avs faithful will stop feeling the sting from the loss, but the offseason ahead should be one of the more intriguing ones in recent memory.
