The Colorado Avalanche made the blockbuster trade on Friday sending Stanley Cup champion Mikko Rantanen to the Carolina Hurricanes for Martin Necas and Jack Drury.

The Colorado Avalanche pulled off a huge trade Friday, but they may not be done dealing. Here are three NHL veterans the Avs can pursue as they remain all-in.

Gabriel Landeskog’s long-awaited return to NHL action remains uncertain, and Colorado Avalanche general manager Chris MacFarland confirmed so on Sunday.

The Colorado Avalanche should add Chicago Blackhawks forward Taylor Hall to the top-six ahead of the March 7 NHL Trade Deadline.

Makar scored again to give Colorado a 3-2 lead at 14:36 of the period with the Avs on the power play. Necas reversed the puck from the right side of the ice to the left, then MacKinnon set up Makar at the top of the zone for his 18th goal of the season.

Despite trading one of the NHL's scoring leaders and a franchise stalwart, MacFarland says the Avalanche are still "all-in."

Rantanen admitted he spent a lot of time staring at the ceiling Friday night. The goal celebrations with the likes of Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar are no more. The bonds he made are likely unbreakable, but now it’s time to make new ones in his new home.

It’s safe to say trade season has officially begun. After the Carolina Hurricanes, Colorado Avalanche, and Chicago Blackhawks made arguably the biggest

There have been some significant “what ifs” in the aftermath of the Avalanche’s run to the Stanley Cup in 2022, but there’s a new one near the top of the list. What if Gabe Landeskog’s knee hadn’t failed him?

Necas and Jack Drury were traded to the Avalanche on Friday night in a stunning three-team trade that sent Mikko Rantanen to the Carolina Hurricanes. The Hurricanes were awaiting a Saturday night tilt with the Islanders when they found out about the deal.

Mikko Rantanen’s blockbuster trade to the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday is still making waves. The Finnish forward was reportedly in the dark about leaving the Colorado Avalanche, with whom he won the Stanley Cup in 2022. In a farewell message posted on Instagram on Sunday night, Rantanen all but confirmed he didn't know about the move.
