How Many Current Roster Players Are Guaranteed to Retire As Avs?

Colorado Avalanche fans face a tough question: is any player truly untouchable? Chris Micieli and Zach Pearson break down the Avalanche roster, spotlighting whether stars like Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, and Gabriel Landeskog are 100% safe from trades—or if team circumstances could shift even their futures. The hosts scrutinize contract situations, no-trade clauses, and playoff expectations while comparing organizational loyalty to the harsh realities of the NHL.

 

The conversation heats up as they assess whether Martin Necas, Devon Toews, and surprise names like Brock Nelson could be on the move if postseason success doesn’t materialize. Who might retire in burgundy and blue, and who could seek a fresh start elsewhere? The episode also explores the fate of superstars across the league, from Sidney Crosby to Connor McDavid, and what history says about “lifers” in modern hockey.
