Well that was fun! What a first day of free agency for the Colorado Avalanche. It all started when the surprising news that captain Gabriel Landeskog has signed on for eight years with the Avs was announced. I guess they weren't so far apart after all. Then when free agency was officially under way, we heard goalie Philipp Grubauer was taking a deal with the Seattle Kraken. I guess the Avs and Grubs were further away than we thought. So to make up for their lost starting goalie the Avalanche went ahead and acquired Darcy Kuemper in a trade with the Arizona Coyotes. A crazy first day. Tune in and subscribe!

Locked On Avalanche - Daily Podcast On The Colorado Avalanche

A Roller Coaster First Day of Free Agency for the Colorado Avalanche

We know things between the Avalanche and Gabriel Landeskog have been contentious and now it appears the same is happening for the Avs and Philipp Grubauer. The Avalanche seem to be closer with Grubauer than they do with Landeskog, so can a deal get done by Wednesday, before free agency begins? Cale Makar gets his season grade from the people of Twitter. And it went pretty much as expected. The Avalanche send qualifying offers to Tyson Jost, Connor Timmins and Denis Gilbert. What does that mean for them and for the Avs. Listen and subscribe!

Is Philipp Grubauer Heading Down a Similar Road as Landeskog? Cale Makar Gets His Season Grade.

One of the biggest items on the Avalanche to-do list has been checked. Superstar defensemen Cale Makar signed a new deal with the Avs. A six year $54 million dollar deal. Losing Makar was never on the table due to his RFA status and Colorado stating they would match any offer sheet. None came, and the Avs and Cale are both happy. The Avs also brought on board four new prospects thanks to the NHL Draft, one of which was Cale's younger brother Taylor. I discuss the Avs top picks and what is expected of them.

Another Friday, another Greenroom! Avalanche fans join the show to discuss all things Avalanche including the Seattle Kraken selecting Joonas Donskoi. Was Matt Calvert calling it a career surprising?

Greenroom Friday! Avs fans get together to talk about Donskoi to the Kraken. Matt Calvert hanging up the skates and Nathan MacKinnon gets his season grade

When the Colorado Avalanche traded Ryan Graves it became clear that Joonas Donskoi was the favorite to be selected by the Seattle Kraken. Wednesday night they made that a reality. Donskoi was an important part of the Avalanche roster, and now Joe Sakic has the job to find a way to fill his role. Will it be in free agency or will he give one of the youngsters a chance to take that spot? The Avalanche also save $3.9 million in salary cap space. Does that help with the Gabriel Landeskog negotiations? We also get to the final part of the Locked on NHL Mock Draft and yes I make my pick for the Avalanche and yes I got the guy at the top of my board. Tune in and subscribe!

Seattle did what we expected and select Joonas Donskoi. Does this help with Landeskog negotiations? Par 2 of the Locked on NHL Mock Draft

The only team Gabriel Landeskog can talk to right now is the Seattle Kraken, and reports are they did indeed talk. The only problem is they have not continued those talks. The reason? Well reports are that Seattle thinks he wants too much. The same thing the Colorado Avalanche have been telling him. Does this do anything to Landeskog and how he is dealing with the Avs, or does he press on and try to find someone willing to pay his high price? We also give Jacob MacDonald his season grade, and we dive into part 1 of 2 of the Locked on NHL Mock Draft. Enjoy! Spotify Greenroom This episode is brought to you by Spotify Greenroom.

Landeskog and Seattle talk. Jacob MacDonald gets his season grade. Part 1 of 2 of the Locked on NHL Mock Draft

The Colorado Avalanche and Gabriel Landeskog can't have any more communications until after the expansion draft. Is having some time apart good for both sides or will it give other teams time to craft their pitch to him knowing he will be there for the signing? Will Seattle throw a curveball at the Avs and take a player other than Donskoi or Compher? I also take a look at draft prospect Mackie Samoskevich.

Can the Avalanche and Landeskog meet in the middle? Are there any longshot players Seattle might take?

Over the past couple days we started to assume Gabriel Landeskog would be left off the protected list due to the lack of a new contract with the Avalanche. It doesn't take away from the fact seeing him unprotected makes Avalanche fans a little uneasy. Joonas Donskoi was also left off the list and you would have to assume he would be the frontrunner to get selected in the expansion draft this Wednesday. Kyle Sullivan joins me to discuss the list, who was protected and who wasn't. Tune in and subscribe! BetOnline AG There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust. Betonline.ag!

The Avalanche have their Expansion Draft protected list and it doesn't include Landeskog or Donskoi. Breaking down the list with Kyle Sullivan

Who says nothing happens in the offseason!? A lot of Avalanche news made headlines in the past couple days and it was perfect for our weekly Greenroom discussion. Moments before the room went live, word came down that Ryan Graves was traded to the New Jersey Devils in a clear expansion draft move. Colorado pulled a move equivalent to a trade deadline move, feeling like Graves was the most likely player to head to Seattle, so he got something for him. We also discuss the current state of the Gabe Landeskog contract talks with the Avs. Things don't seem to be going as well as we thought they would. Finally, a PE Bellemare appreciation segment where we say goodbye to the fun loving side of Belly we will all miss. Tune in and subscribe!

Greenroom Friday! Avs fans get together to talk about the Ryan Graves trade, the Landeskog contract issues and a goodbye to PE Bellemare

The offseason is off to a banging start. We started the day with the new that Erik Johnson did what we all assumed he would do and waive his no movement clause, thus leaving him unprotected for the upcoming expansion draft. Then, news came out that the Avalanche and captain Gabriel Landeskog are very far apart in a new contract. That is all we needed to hear before shouting from the rooftops about how we might now lose our beloved captain. Let's not go down that road just yet. Tune in and subscribe!

Is Gabe Landeskog and the Avs being far apart at this stage of the offseason concerning? Landeskog gets his season grade. EJ waives his NMC

We have all seen the expansion mock drafts and for the most part they have the Kraken taking Ryan Graves off the Avalanche. That very well could happen, but if it doesn't, I for one will be happy about that. I explain why. We also hand out the season grade for Nazem Kadri. How much did his post season suspension effect how people graded? Finally we take a look at another potential prospect in Brennan Othmann. If the Avs eventually do move on from Kadri, Othmann would be a perfect filler. Tune in and subscribe! BetOnline AG There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust. Betonline.ag!

Avalanche fan Devin Ruff joins the show to discuss his Avalanche history and what he thinks the Avs need to do this offseason

Yesterday we talked about a skilled, but over aggressive forward, and today we talk about a skilled but undersized forward in Isak Rosen. Rosen could fall to the Avalanche at #27, and if he does they would be hard pressed to not selected the gifted prospect. But does his size scare them away? Philipp Grubauer had a season. One that the Avalanche and their fans knew he had in him, and the fans gave him an easy A for his season grade. Finally, the odds for next season are starting to trickle out, and one again the Avs are the favorites to win it all next year.

Draft Prospect: Isak Rosen. Will he fall to the Avs at #27? Philipp Grubauer gets his season grade. The Avs are the favorites again

So far this off-season, clubs are more willing to give players term on their contracts to get that all important AAV number down as low as possible. Is that what we will see when it comes to Avalanche free agents Gabe Landeskog, Philipp Grubauer and Cale Makar? We begin our look at some potential Avalanche draft picks with hard nosed winger Zachary L'Heureux. L'Heureux is gifted offensively, but often times goes over the line when it comes to hit and bad behavior. Do they Avs select him with the thinking their veterans can mold him early to play hard but the right way? Selecting L'Heureux will speak volumes as to where the Avalanche mindset is with their toughness on the roster. Tune in and subscribe!
