A day before the trade deadline, they acquired forwards <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/d\/duhaibr01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-03-07_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brandon Duhaime<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/t\/treniya01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-03-07_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Yakov Trenin<\/a>.

For example, the Wild received Colorado&#8217;s 2026 third-round pick. Meanwhile, Nashville picked up Jeremy Hanzel and the Avs 2025 third-round pick, while sending Graham Sward back to Denver.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We have acquired forward Brandon Duhaime from the Minnesota Wild in exchange for\u00a0a third-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MPZoAVGdUQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/MPZoAVGdUQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Colorado Avalanche (@Avalanche) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Avalanche\/status\/1765816424046432322?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">March 7, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>What Will Duhaime Provide for the Avalanche?<\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Brandon Duhaime will provide toughness for the Colorado Avalanche. He has played 193 career NHL games, all within the last three seasons with the Wild. In that time he has racked up 230 penalty minutes. Furthermore, he is not afraid to drop the mitts if called upon. In a tough seven-game series, inserting guys like Duhaime in the lineup is essential to your team&#8217;s strength to power through. This is a solid pickup for Colorado.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Avalanche announce they have acquired Yakov Trenin from the Predators<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FriedgeHNIC\/status\/1765829584426008909?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">March 7, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Trenin is Another Depth Piece for the Avs<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In acquiring Yakov Trenin, Colorado further cemented their depth. This was also a <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2024\/03\/06\/casey-mittelstadt-traded-for-bowen-byram\/\" target=\"_self\">day after acquiring<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/m\/mitteca01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-03-07_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Casey Mittelstadt<\/a> from the Buffalo Sabres. Back to Trenin, and he is another great playoff piece to add. In his five years in the league, all with Nashville, he has 283 games played, 79 points, and 162 penalty minutes. He is a solid skater, can be physical on the puck, and can play the middle. With the trio of Mittelstadt, Trenin, and Duhaime in two days, Colorado certainly is brewing something for the spring run.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As for the Wild and Preds, one is a surprise and one isn&#8217;t. The Wild were known to be sellers, so moving a desirable depth piece for an asset made sense. Conversely, for the Preds, who have been red hot, and sniffing around the playoffs, it is a bit of a surprise. Although, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/j\/jeannta01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-03-07_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tanner Jeannot<\/a> trade last deadline, sometimes their management can be unpredictable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Main photo: Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Colorado Avalanche are all-in on the 2024 NHL Trade Deadline as they are loading up for a run in the 2024 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs.
