Summary

As the NHL Trade Deadline approaches during the 2026 Winter Olympics break, we break down the Colorado Avalanche’s top trade targets to gear up for a deep Stanley Cup run. The show debates whether a luxury 3C like Ryan O'Reilly or Vincent Trocheck is the best fit to boost faceoffs, depth scoring, and two-way reliability down the middle. We also explore the blue-line option: Mario Ferraro as a physical, defense-first lefty who could help balance Colorado’s pairings for playoff hockey. Drop your picks in the comments—who should the Avs trade for at the deadline? AJ Haefele, Rudo, & Bailey Curtis break down the potential MAJOR trade targets for the Colorado Avalanche at the NHL Trade Deadline. 📬 Denver sports in your inbox: https://thednvr.com/newsletter An ALLCITY Network Production PARTY WITH US: https://thednvr.com/events ALL THINGS DNVR: https://linktr.ee/dnvrsports MERCH: https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/dnvr-locker SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/DNVR_Sports Toyota: Visit Your Front Range Toyota Stores at a location near you - Toyota is the official vehicle of DNVR.

0:00.0	The Olympic competition is raging on, but the NHL trade deadline is looming.
0:06.0	And when you're a team like the Aves and the driver's seat of the NHL, you know they're going to add.
0:11.0	So the question is, what is the major addition the Aves could be adding at the NHL trade deadline?
0:17.0	We each have one name to argue for today.
0:20.0	I'm going to give you a very familiar name to start us off.
0:23.8	And that is Ryan O'Reilly.
0:26.2	We know the abs need a 3C.
0:27.9	That's been made abundantly clear.
0:29.6	We know the abs have been after Ryan O'Reilly for a long time.
0:32.5	And historically, you know, the abs always seem to get their guy when it comes back around.
0:39.3	To be fair, they had Ryan O'Reilly once upon a time.
0:41.7	But could make a ton of sense for Colorado.
0:44.3	Now, I do think there are a few issues here.
0:46.4	One, you absolutely worry about Ryan O'Reilly's aging curve.
0:49.4	I think that is totally fair.
0:51.3	And two, you worry about the price that it's going to take to get him out of
0:54.5	Nashville because it would probably be a lot. But when you look at Ryan O'Reilly, is he in the
1:00.8	decline? Is he starting to age out a little bit? Probably. But this is still a guy who's putting
1:05.5	up near a point per game this season and he's playing the toughest competition in the NHL.
1:12.3	When you put him on a Colorado Avalanche team down in a third-line role, is his scoring going to dip because he's not playing
1:16.3	as much? Yes, but you're also very likely to see his on-ice product get a good bit better,
1:22.0	not playing against the absolute best competition in the NHL. Of course, he's been a great
