NHL Rumors: Colorado Avalanche, Buffalo Sabres, NJ Devils, and 2018 Unsigned Draftees

Mike Chambers of the Denver Post: (mailbag) The Colorado Avalanche have pending restricted free agent defensemen in Nikita Zadorov and Ryan Graves. Graves will get a nice contract from the Avs, but Zadorov may not. If the Avs move Zadorov, Bo Byram would have a better shot at making the team next year. Already under contract for next season are Erik Johnson, Ian Cole, Cale Makar and Sam Girard.

Potential late first-round players that could still be on the board and who may interest the Avs include John-Jason Peterka, Seth Jarvis and Vasili Ponomaryov.
