Now that the dust has settled following the Colorado Avalanche signing Tomas Tatar to a one year deal, we can now stop asking who might slide into that final forward spot when we would guess what the lines would look like in past episodes. Tatar makes this roster not only complete, but as deep as any other team in the conference, and the Avalanche will once again be a difficult team to contend with from top to bottom. However, one area of depth that might be lacking to start the season is the goalie position, as team GM Chris MacFarland stated Pavel Francouz will likely miss some time due to a lingering injury. How long will he miss? MacFarland did not say, but it is believed the team is looking for a replacement. Whether that replacement is short-term or long-term will likely determine how the Avalanche navigate this. Finally, the Avalanche rookie camp is underway in Las Vegas, and the Avalanche have won both games they have played so far. Who looks good, who hasn't? Tune in, subscribe and enjoy!

The Avalanches signed Tomas Tatar to a one year deal earlier in the week, finally filling that hole on the wing in their top six and finally making this team look like a finished product as training camp is just around the corner. For the first time since the Stanley Cup, the Avalanche look like they have solid depth again, so where will Tatar fit into the lineup? How big of a concern are Tatar's past playoff woes? Also, Pavel Francouz is reportedly not going to be ready for training camp, is it going to be Justus Annunen's time to step up?

Elias Lindholm has said what he said. It appears that the Calgary Flames have not negotiated a contract with him and stopped the conversation in early July. NHL insiders Chris Johnston and Julian McKenzie share their thoughts and understanding on the latest update. The Colorado Avalanche are on the hunt for another goaltender as Pavel Francouz is still recovering from adductor surgery. Dan Vladar makes perfect sense and Craig Conroy should be calling. Details would need to be ironed out but it could get done! Plus, Nikita Zadorov shared the latest contract talks on his end. What are Craig Conroy's priorities?

Once again, the Colorado Avalanche lurked in the shadows, patiently waiting for the right player to fall to them. Last year it was Evan Rodrigues, this year it's Tomas Tatar. Tatar signed a nice and easy one year deal for a low $1.5 million to join the Avs and make their middle six a bit stronger. The remodeling of the Avs should just about be complete now, and Tatar only adds to the new look team. We are also joined by Eddie Garcia of Locked on Los Angeles Kings. The Kings are a team on the rise and Eddie talks about their offseason of moves, and how it's impossible to not have the Edmonton Oilers in the backs of their heads when making those moves. Can the Kings not only get out of the first round, but make a playoff push? Their goalie situation might have a lot to do with if they do or do not. Tune in, subscribe and enjoy!

The New Jersey Devils made somewhat of a surprising move yesterday by reuniting with goalie Keith Kinkaid. They signed him to a one-year, two-way contract. Kinkaid had a good start during his first tenure with the Devils. However, his production progressively got worse as the years progressed. He might be looking to become the Devils' third-string goalie. Tomas Tatar recently signed a one-year deal with the Colorado Avalanche. There were a lot of questions surrounding his free agency period, but we finally received some clarity.

Chris MacFarland threw meat to hungry wolves with his comments to Pierre LaBrun of The Athletic over the weekend when he said he was hoping captain Gabriel Landeskog could return for the playoffs. We aren't so sure that: #1 he can, #2 if he can, should he? And #3, why would MacFarland even make a comment like that at this stage of the season? The season that hasn't even started yet!? We discuss why that while, yes, this is a possibility, it would benefit the Colorado Avalanche to put Landeskog on the shelf for the entire season no matter how well he is progressing. We also learned that Avalanche skills coach Shawn Allard is no longer with the team. Normally, a skills coach leaving is not very big news. But Allard is a different skills coach, and one that several players look up to. We discuss why this is kind of a big deal. Finally, we look at the Avalanche nationally televised games this season. Some great matchups are on there and we discuss the ones we are looking forward to the most.

We are back! The break is over, and season 4 is here with a bang as Jesse Montano joins the show for the first time as we get caught up on everything Avalanche as training camp is set to begin shortly. One last time, recapping the offseason and what the expectations are going into this coming season with a variation of new additions, and if this team has solved their depth issues. Finally, looking at the three PTOs the Avalanche signed for training camp, and who's most likely to make the team.

It's the final week of 3 shows, and Pat and Hunter start off Tuesday's podcast edition with Colin White signing a PTO. They dive into his numbers from his time with the Senators and Panthers and give fans a taste of what to expect from him. They also analyze whether he has what it takes to make the team since his numbers have dropped a bit since his career-high season in 2018-19. After that, they get into the latest Tomas Tatar news as he has signed a one-year contract with the Colorado Avalanche. They look at whether Kyle Dubas will be kicking himself for not making this move when he had the chance, even when they didn't have a lot of salary cap space. They also analyze whether Dubas' risk of a defense-first bottom six will pay off before ending the show, predicting which players are locks for the bottom six compared to which players will have to fight their way onto rosters. All that, plus much more is on this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

So the Ottawa Senators threw a ton of money at their young, up and coming defenseman to the tune of 8 years and $8.05 AAV. With every new defenseman signing for high dollars, the more likely it is that this will likely be the final season for Devon Toews and the Colorado Avalanche. He's just going to command too much money that you know teams are willing to give him. So what do the Avalanche do? Move other players and assests around to try and make enough room under the cap to extend him? Easier said than done. What about trade him? As blasphemous as that sounds, it could come down to that business decision. We know Devon Toews will start the season with the Avs, will he end it with them is another. Will he end it with them AND a new contract is even another. Tune in, subscribe and enjoy!

The Arizona Coyotes don't have a clear rival.

Each year The Athletic runs a vote of the confidence level the fan base has in their team's front office. They rate categories such as the overall vision of the team, to trading, to drafting and developing. Last year the Colorado Avalanche were at the top of the list. This year, they dropped to 5th. Is that fair? Probably. We discuss why. We also take a look at the state of the Western Conference, and how it's not really as exciting as the Eastern Conference. Where the East will likely have several teams beating each other up for the last couple playoff spots, it's unlikely the same will happen over in the West. How long before the West can be more competitive from top to bottom? Tune in, subscribe and enjoy!

On today's Western Conference Tuesday edition of Locked on NHL, Seth Toupal of Locked on Wild and Nick Morgan of Locked on Predators start with big questions facing the Vegas Golden Knights for 2023-24. Seth and Nick look at the likelihood the Golden Knights can repeat as Stanley Cup Champions, whether or not their goalie situation will have the same level of success this year that they did last year, and if players who were not retained will be voids too big to fill. They then discuss the Colorado Avalanche. With the Avs, Seth and Nick discuss how the Avs will fill vacancies left by players such as JT Compher, and whether or not Alexandar Georgiev can repeat his first year success. They finish with a discussion on the Edmonton Oilers, and whether or not the Oilers can get to the Stanley Cup Final and if there are big changes on the horizon with Ken Holland entering the final year of his deal.

Deion Sanders has Colorado and college football fans buzzing after their huge win over TCU last Saturday. What also made headlines was the press conference and comments following the win by Sanders. Understandably, Deion was not leaving anyone in his wake when it came to people who were doubting him or the team heading into this season. He says what's on his mind. Filters do not apply to Prime Time. Head coach of the Colorado Avalanche, Jared Bednar, is pretty much the polar opposite when it comes to confrontation. He avoids it like the plague. Bednar is reserved and calculated when it comes to his press conferences. Which, like Deion, is by design. So which coaching style do we prefer? We discuss. We also get into the Central Division. What is the state of the divsion today, what does the future look like, and what are our predictions for how it will play out for this upcoming season. Tune in, subscribe and enjoy!

The offseason season review/preview series concludes with the players who departed from the Avalanche this offseason, reflecting on what they brought to the team and what roles they will fill on their new clubs. Erik Johnson's long tenure ends as he heads to Buffalo. JT Compher gets a big contact from the Red Wings. Alex Newhook is dealt to Montreal. Evan Rodrgues cashes in for a nice contract in Florida. Eller and Nieto head to a revamped Penguins squad. It's a lengthy list after a long offseason of turnover. Finally, the show goes off the rails as this review series comes to a close.

Our offseason fantasy hockey coverage continues with a deep dive into our Central Division preview and predictions. Taking a look at the teams in the eighth spot through to the first and analysis of the top fantasy hockey pieces on the rise you need on your fantasy hockey team and the pieces you want to be fading for this upcoming draft season in the NHL fantasy realm. The bottom of the division is a lot more clear than the top, with both Flip and Steele agreeing on the Chicago Blackhawks in 8th, St. Louis Blues in 7th, and rising Arizona Coyotes in the 7th spot. Pieces on those clubs to watch rise are obviously Connor Bedard but do not sleep on Lukas Reichel. You should also be considering the likes of Nick Schmaltz and Barrett Hayton on the Coyotes. In terms of the top of the division, this is year Flip and Steele disagree, but the main point is the top-three or four teams will be the Winnipeg Jets with a big step out from Cole Perfetti and the Colorado Avalanche, Minnesota Wild, and Dallas Stars rounding out the top-three spots in this ever tough Central Division.

It's been a tumultuous but at the same time quiet offseason for Val Nichushkin. With how his season ended in Seattle, a lot of Colorado Avalanche fans had a lot of questions. They might have even more after Nichushkin posted two images of himself on Instagram. Sporting the Avalanche championship ring, and a gun. Bad optics? Or no big deal? We also congratulate Joonas Donskoi who announced he will be retiring from the NHL following issues with concussions. While his time in Colorado was not that long, he was a fan favorite and someone who was very easy to root for. Finally, we get to some suggestions The Athletic have for ways the NHL can grow the game by looking at what other sports are doing and adopting it. Tune in, subscribe and enjoy!
