The Colorado Avalanche are a talented team, and for that reason, they always have a shot at going far in the postseason. This year they sit in the middle of the pack ahead of the trade deadline, sparking many to believe that they will be buyers in order to bolster their roster for a playoff run.
Now, it has been reported that the Avalanche are considering trading one of their young stars in Bowen Byram. Byram was the Avalanche's fourth overall pick back in 2019.
Byram has a lot of potential upside, however, has been struggling a bit this season and currently has a -7 rating. With the Avs already having a stud young defender in Cale Makar, they may be looking to deal Byram for an asset that can help them in the short term.
Avalanche fans have been taking to social media to share their fantasy of a massive trade deadline acquisition of Sidney Crosby, as he has shared his affinity with the Avs skill and is best friends with Nathan MacKinnon. With the Penguins struggling this year, a Crosby trade is just a little bit more likely.
Ultimately, we will see what the Avalanche decides to do at the deadline as it approaches. They may look to make a splash and deal one of their recent first-rounders in an attempt to push for another Cup.
