0:08.6	Welcome into the DMVR Avalanche podcast, an emergency pod edition brought to you by Xfinity.
0:15.3	Imagine that.
0:17.2	Good or known, we were going to go live again today for yet another trade from the Colorado Avalanche.
0:22.9	The Avalanche had traded forward Balearie Natchewski for a couple picks here upcoming.
0:29.9	They traded for a second round pick in this upcoming 2026 draft, 2027, third, and a 2028 fifth round pick in the NHL draft.
