Colorado Avalanche general manager Chris MacFarland said Monday he wasn’t sure if he had another trade in him this week.
He did, and it’s a big one.
The Avs traded top prospect Calum Ritchie, a first-round pick in 2026 or 2027, a conditional third-round pick in 2028 and defenseman Oliver Kylington to the New York Islanders for center Brock Nelson and prospect William Dufour.
Nelson, 33, has 20 goals and 43 points for the Islanders this season. He’s in the final season of his contract, and was considered the top rental center on the trade market.
