Bardakov, Robertson, and Kane Updates | Colorado Avalanche News

Zakhar Bardakov, once an Avalanche player, is back in the KHL but eyes a potential return to the NHL—his rights still belong to Colorado, making a future reunion a tantalizing possibility. Meanwhile, Jason Robertson’s $12M one-year deal with Dallas keeps him in the Stars’ lineup this season while leaving his future uncertain, as he’ll hit unrestricted free agency next summer unless he signs an extension before January 1st. Robertson wants to stay in Dallas but also demands a contract that matches his value, positioning this move as a strategic step toward winning now and assessing the team’s financial flexibility after Tyler Seguin’s contract ends. And in Chicago, whispers of a Patrick Kane return to the Blackhawks are heating up, sparking fan excitement as talks continue behind the scenes. These are just a few of the big storylines shaping the league’s next chapter—stay tuned as we track them all. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
