It has been a busy couple of days in the world of the Colorado Avalanche, and most of us are still not completely over the wave of emotions that the Tyson Barrie and Alexander Kerfoot trades brought, but life moves on. That deal gave us Nazem Kadri and Calle Rosén, from the Toronto Maple Leafs, and three days prior we got André Burakovsky, from the Washington Capitals.
Both Kadri and Burakovsky had a rough 2018-2019 regular season for different reasons – one felt the presence of John Tavares and struggled a bit (but nothing tragic), while the other couldn’t seem to find his place in the roster (that one was tragic).
