NHL Rumors Ignite: Shocking Moves Brewing Between Colorado Avalanche and Vancouver Canucks!
Here’s the skinny: Colorado’s been juggling some serious chess pieces this offseason, and Sam Girard keeps popping up in trade chatter — not exactly a shocker but worth delving into. Brock Nelson clearly steps into that No. 2 center role, and Landeskog is hitting the ice hard, not just easing back. But the third line? That’s still a bit murky, and the Avalanche brass are probably eyeballing some fresh options to beef up depth. Meanwhile, Girard’s minutes have dipped and with a $5 million price tag lingering, the Avs might be thinking about moving him to free up cap space — kinda like how they waved goodbye to Charlie Coyle, who just didn’t fit that wage-to-role mold. Flip the map to Vancouver and you see a different strategy — patience. The Canucks could just coast through the early season, sizing up their second-line center needs, holding off on urgency, and waiting for the market to spill what it will. A gamble? Sure, but maybe a smart one given the uncertainties out there. It’s like watching two different playbooks unfold, both with a keen eye on balance sheets and roster puzzles. Ready for all the twists?

They do have some questions as to who will be their No. 3 center, and are there any depth options that they might be interested in adding?
