Avalanche Arbitration Decisions

The Colorado Avalanche face tough roster decisions as July 1 looms, with arbitration looming for key players like Jack Drury — a solid but underwhelming third-line center who may be worth a hefty contract. Meanwhile, Zakhar Bardakov’s defensive promise might not be enough to justify keeping him, especially after his playoff benching. Taylor Makar is a lock to stay, thanks to family ties and steady AHL growth, while Ivan Ivan’s playoff spark remains unproven at the NHL level. Chase Bradley and Danil Gushchin, both young and injury-prone, could be overlooked despite playoff contributions — as the Avs scramble to build a competitive roster for the new season.
