Avalanche Trade Clears $7M Cap Space

The Colorado Avalanche just pulled off a savvy trade, sending forward Ross Colton and goalie Isak Posch to Nashville in exchange for two third-round draft picks and goalie prospect Magnus Chrona. By shedding Colton’s $4M cap hit without retaining any salary, the Avs freed up nearly $7M to re-sign key free agents. Posch, a promising AHL goalie, was part of the deal despite his potential, while Chrona—a 6’6” former Lightning draft pick with room to grow—brings size and future upside to Denver. The move also opens roster spots, potentially giving T.J. Hughes and others a shot at the main squad next season. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
