Wolanin Joins Eagles with NHL Experience | Colorado Avalanche News

The Colorado Avalanche just added a blue-line veteran to their AHL squad, signing defenseman Christian Wolanin to a one-year deal for the 2026-27 season. Coming off a strong year with Providence (7G, 31P in 53 games), Wolanin brings over 200 AHL points and 23 NHL points from his time with the Canucks and Sabres. His dad, Craig, once played for the Avalanche and won a Stanley Cup in ’96 — making this move even more special. With Jack Ahcan’s departure, Wolanin slots in as a gritty, offensive-minded defenseman poised to anchor the Eagles’ backend. A smart, family-affiliated addition that could pay dividends.
