Finally, a more significant move from the Western Conference.
In what has been a wild trade deadline for those teams in the Eastern Conference loading up for a Stanley Cup run, everyone has been wondering what move the current Cup champion Colorado Avalanche would make. They seem to have struck a deal.
It was just announced Wednesday morning right after the conclusion of morning skate Lars Eller would be moving to the Mile High City from the nation’s capital and the Washington Capitals as first reported by Elliotte Friedman. Going the other way in the deal is a 2025 second-round pick in the NHL Draft.
