The Colorado Avalanche sit atop the League with a comfortable lead and games in hand. Denver Post Avalanche beat writer Corey Masisak joins Meghan Angley to break down the current state of the Avs, from a league-worst power play to questions about sustainability. Is this team a contender masking flaws with elite talent or are they really that good?

They dig into the team with and without Gabriel Landeskog, how closely his absence is tied to the team’s identity, and whether that dependence is a red flag or simply reality. Corey also weighs in on trade deadline priorities including the need for a 3C and depth D. Plus: who are some surprise performers for the Avs this season?

Denver Gazette beat reporter Evan Rawal joins Meghan Angley to break down the current state of the Avs, starting with the team’s biggest on-ice needs. We dive into what a true playoff 3C should look like, how Colorado can upgrade its depth, and why size does --- or doesn't --- matter when projecting postseason success.

We also explore Jared Bednar’s project over the Olympic break, examining what areas of the game the coaching staff is likely digging into and how this evaluation period could shape decisions down the stretch.

From there, the focus shifts to the trade deadline landscape: how aggressive the Avalanche should be, what types of players fit their system, and how Colorado can best leverage its draft picks, prospects, and roster assets. We discuss potential target profiles, market realities, and how the front office might balance short-term Cup pursuit with long-term flexibility.

Finally, we look ahead to Olympic expectations for players like Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Brock Nelson, and more: which countries could surprise on the international stage, and how the tournament could impact the Avalanche heading into the stretch run.
