With free agency approaching in July, the Colorado Avalanche are preparing to address their roster, focusing on key restricted and unrestricted free agents. Notable RFAs include D Sam Malinski, who had a solid rookie season, and D John Ludvig, who spent most of the year in the AHL. The Avalanche’s UFA situation centers on F Brock Nelson, a potential high-cost re-signing after a productive regular season, along with other players like D Ryan Lindgren and F Jonathan Drouin, who showed promise but faced challenges, particularly Drouin with injuries.
