Avalanche Mailbag 4.0: Clearing Cap Space, Offseason Changes & Should Avs Re-Sign Nelson?

4 days ago | coloradohockeynow.com | Aarif Deen

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.
Deen’s Daily: MacKinnon Leads Team Canada; Reilly Smith, What a Goal!

5 days ago | coloradohockeynow.com | Aarif Deen

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.

I’m still making my way through all the questions from last weekend’s Avalanche Mailbag. This one had a nice range of questions that were fun to answer. Check it out and let me know what you agree or disagree with in the comments below. And if you haven’t yet, give the other two mailbags a read.

Deen’s Daily: Fans Weigh In — What Avalanche Offseason Topics Should We Tackle?

6 days ago | coloradohockeynow.com | Aarif Deen

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.
Deen’s Daily: Joel Quenneville is Back In the NHL; Oilers Take Control of Series

1 week ago | coloradohockeynow.com | Aarif Deen

Joel Quenneville is back in the NHL, officially. Also, the Washington Capitals fought back in Game 2, but the Vegas Golden Knights couldn’t do the same. All that and more on this edition of Deen’s Daily — May 9. I know it’s not everybody’s favorite thing to do, but given the direction many of the Avalanche mailbag questions were heading, I decided to revisit the Mikko Rantanen saga and answer any and all post-playoff loss questions about him.
Avalanche Mailbag 2.0: Revisiting the Mikko Rantanen Saga

So, full disclosure, I wrote this entire article and scheduled it to be published Thursday morning while I was watching the Leafs and Panthers game. Game 1 between the Dallas Stars and Winnipeg Jets had not yet started. As it turns out, Mikko Rantanen’s insane white-hot streak continued. He recorded a hat trick for the second consecutive game and broke an NHL record by factoring in on 12 consecutive goals for his team — a streak that is still active and could be extended in Game 2.

The first segment of the post-playoff mailbag is here. What went wrong in the postseason for Colorado? Also, the Toronto Maple Leafs are looking pretty, pretty good. And in Winnipeg, Mikko Rantanen went off, again. All that and more on this edition of Deen’s Daily — May 8. The worst part about the Avs going out in the first round is that we’re still so far away from the draft and free agency.

1 week ago | coloradohockeynow.com | Aarif Deen

The mailbag absolutely went off this week. Thank you all so much for your questions, thoughts, and fun hockey discussions. I’ve decided to separate the questions into segments because there are just way too many to fit into one story. On the first edition of the post-playoffs mailbag, I’m covering everything about Jared Bednar’s job, Chris MacFarland’s moves, and what went wrong in the series against the Dallas Stars.
What Went Wrong in Avs’ Shocking Early Postseason End?

1 week ago | coloradohockeynow.com | Colleen Flynn

In the aftermath of the Avalanche’s unexpected early Stanley Cup Playoff exit, everyone wants to know what went wrong. That’s exactly what I asked the president of hockey operations, Joe Sakic, at the organization’s exit interviews on Tuesday. “I went through as a player as well. Sometimes things just aren’t going to go your way. I look at Cale (Makar). Like Cale played so well. He had as many chances in the playoffs as he did in the regular season on a per-game thing,” Sakic said.
