Colorado Avalanche weigh Nazem Kadri reunion as the trade rumor mill heats up. Could Kadri be the 3C answer, or will contract terms become a stumbling block? Chris Micieli and Zach Pearson break down insider reports linking the Avalanche to Kadri, the team’s need for center depth, salary retention hurdles, and whether a return makes sense for both sides. The hosts also compare Kadri’s situation to Panarin’s, debate Calgary’s willingness to retain salary, and assess Kadri’s potential fit in Colorado’s power play and third line.

The Avalanche’s minor trade with the Pittsburgh Penguins is unpacked, raising speculation about future moves ahead of the NHL trade deadline. Key storylines include Devon Toews’ impending return, reactions to Anaheim Ducks’ recent hot streak, and a candid listener (Zach's daughter) mailbag about the hosts rooting interests outside of Colorado. Get all the latest on Colorado’s evolving roster, bold trade scenarios, and the hunt for Stanley Cup contention.
