The Colorado Avalanche will likely lose one of these fringe players to the Seattle Kraken in the expansion draft.

The Colorado Avalanche are going to lose a good player to the Seattle Kraken. The last time the team lost a player was when the Vegas Golden Knights selected goalie Calvin Pickard, only to throw him away in trade a few weeks later.
