Adding Yakov Trenin and Brandon Duhaime in a pair of deals the day before the deadline looked like solid moves at the time for the Colorado Avalanche, but both could be a more vital infusion of dep…
Newly acquired Colorado Avalanche left wing Yakov Trenin, front, avoids a check from Minnesota Wild center Marco Rossi in the second period of an NHL hockey game Friday, March 8, 2024, in Denver. The Colorado Avalanche was aggressive leading into the NHL trade deadline this past week, adding four new players to a roster that was already considered one of the best in the league..
The second target was adding bigger, heavier players for the bottom half of the forward corps. The fact that Duhaime and Trenin arrived on the same day wasn’t lost on them. Both Duhaime and Trenin were thrown into a game with the Avs with little prep time — no practices, just a morning skate and some video work to give them a crash course on how the team likes to play.
That sounds pretty similar to what players say about Bednar. The Avs coach also pointed out that teams Colorado might see during the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs have similar types of players, and the club’s decision-makers felt an urgency to beef up. “It was definitely hard. New system, and I was used to a little bit different D-zone . A few shifts where I was a little confused. … I watched my shifts and it looked better than I felt on the ice. We’re going to build on that and just keep growing as a team.”
