All eyes are on the Colorado Avalanche as the 2017 NHL trade deadline approaches — it’s March 1st, 1 pm MST. Because the Avs are so low in the standings — dead last — it’s thought they’ll be big movers at the deadline.
Indeed, for months Colorado has been at the center of trade rumors, mostly concerning core forwards Matt Duchene and Gabriel Landeskog. The price is said to be an NHL-ready defenseman, a draft pick and a prospect.
Spoiler alert: It’s highly unlikely either player will be traded before the season ends.
