In the inaugural edition of Avs Ink, beat writer Corey Masisak talks with Chris Johnston of The Athletic, TSN and the Steve Dangle Podcast Network about where the Avs stand leading into the NHL trade deadline. Among the topics discussed:

  • Colorado makes two big trades, adding Casey Mittelstadt and Sean Walker while subtracting Bo Byram and Ryan Johansen
  • The market for Jake Guentzel, the No. 1 player on Johnston’s NHL trade board, and how that relates to the Avs
  • The fascination with Sidney Crosby potentially joining forces with Nathan MacKinnon if he ever decides to pursue a championship outside of Pittsburgh
  • Valeri Nichushkin’s pending return to the lineup
  • Nikolai Kovalenko, the ultimate wild card
