The Colorado Avalanche have bolstered their center depth by acquiring Yakov Trenin from the Nashville Predators in exchange for Jeremy Hanzel, who they signed earlier in the day, and a 2025 third-round pick. In addition to Trenin, the Avalanche also secured the rights to Graham Sward as part of the deal. This move is seen as part of the Avalanche's strategy to strengthen their roster, with the trade occurring just before the NHL trade deadline. The acquisition of Trenin puts the Avalanche's roster at the league maximum of 23 players, indicating a strategic play by the team's management.
