In the rare case of the rumor mill getting one right, the Avalanche announced tonight they had traded Ryan Graves to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for a 2021 second-round pick and forward Mikhail Maltsev. The trade of Graves two days before the Avalanche must submit their protection list for next week’s expansion draft is an important move for…...
Protected lists are due in one week and while some teams may be scrambling to make moves the Avs protected list should be pretty set except for the final few spots. This video breaks it all down for the Avs. https://youtu.be/klvJt1grcSo
The Avs opened their second-round series by smashing the Vegas Golden Knights in blowout fashion. With a game that was played on the edge all the way through, lines were clearly crossed. https://youtu.be/PhLYc9mT1T4
The Avs and Jonas Johansson shut out the Anaheim Ducks in a game that was largely overshadowed by the trades made by the Avs before and after. https://youtu.be/fE852yaVMqQ
The Avalanche blew a two-goal lead to San Jose in spectacular fashion as they completely fell apart in the third period for the second time in a week. The time for patience has passed. https://youtu.be/riIMJcKb8Ik
The Avs are sporting what could be considered the best defense in Avalanche history coming into this season. With talent that was regularly seen on the top pair just a few short years ago, the depth of the defense is work diving into. https://youtu.be/qte_yb6FCiM
When the Avalanche arrived at training camp last season, no one expected much from Ryan Graves, even the Avs coaching staff. “There was no expectations for him last year,” Jared Bednar said on Sunday in his season opening press conference. This year, things will be a little different. That’s a credit to Graves and what he did on and off…...

Well, who saw this one coming? Picked up in a deadline day swap back in 2018, Ryan Graves was looked at purely as a depth defenseman who would hopefully regain some of that promise he had after putting up 30 points in the AHL as a 21-year-old. He didn’t exactly light the world on fire in Colorado, as he put…...
Two points in regulation is the same as two points in the shootout. https://youtu.be/ID63uDKD0CY

Every player has a routine when they finish up a practice and get into the locker room. For Ryan Graves, he takes his helmet off and immediately puts on an Avalanche baseball cap, usually backward. He looks at me and flashes the smile that’s made him so popular on Avalanche social media. We sit and talk about a little hockey…
With the trade deadline fast approaching, it’s become clear the Colorado Avalanche are among the top contenders to emerge from the west this year and compete for the Stanley Cup. No team is ever built perfectly and the trade deadline is not only the last chance for teams to improve its roster, but it also seems to serve as a…...

We talked on the podcast this week about how Colorado can turn around this losing skid of theirs. It wasn’t a complicated formula. Don’t lose the special teams battle. Get saves. Win at even strength. We said two of those three would be sufficient to get Colorado over the hump and help them close out an opponent. In a 4-0…...
