The Colorado Avalanche wants to get younger — GM Joe Sakic has been repeating that at every turn. The team has been picking up waiver claims and even made a couple trades toward that end.
The presumption is that the team might make a blockbuster trade but at the very least will work this year’s draft to keep up the rebuild. There’s also free agency.
In the past Colorado has often looked to Europe for undrafted free agents, picking up players such as Dennis Everberg, Borna Rendulic and the recently traded Andreas Martinsen.
