Avalanche Eyeing Another UFA Swing Up Front

Colorado is already doing the quiet front-office math that usually starts long before July 1. The Avalanche know the market gets thinner fast, and this is the kind of forward who can look a lot more interesting once teams start bidding against themselves. There is no need to read too much into one check-in, but contenders do not spend time sniffing around unless they see a fit. If Colorado wants to keep pace in the West, this is exactly the sort of conversation that can turn into a summer move.
