We have traded Players (F) Ross Colton and (G) Isak Posch to Nashville in exchange for Nashville’s own 3rd round pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft, Colorado’s own 3rd round pick in the 2027 NHL Entry Draft (previously transferred to Nashville in a prior transaction), and Player (G) Magnus Chrona.
CMac, thank you for 11 seasons of hard work and dedication to our organization and for helping bring another Stanley Cup to Colorado.
We wish you all the best!
Go and cheer on @the_beardeddad as he plays Lego Batman! If you pop in tell him I say hi! I won't be able to make it due to severe allergy eye making it hard to look at my phone for long. Please go give him some love!

The NHL Alumni Association is devastated to share that Claude Lemieux has passed away at the age of 60.
Born in Buckingham, Quebec, Claude was selected by the Montreal Canadiens in the second round of the 1983 NHL Entry Draft and would make his NHL debut just a few months later on October 13, 1983 and scored his first career NHL goal on December 4, 1983.
Claude split time between the Canadiens organization and the QMJHL from 1983 to 1985, capturing the President’s Cup with the Verdun Junior Canadiens in 1985 as QMJHL playoff champions, while earning the Guy Lafleur Trophy as Playoff MVP.
The very next season, Claude recorded 10 goals and 16 points in 20 playoff games as he and the Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup. Claude remained with the Canadiens for an additional four seasons before joining the New Jersey Devils ahead of the 1990-91 season.
In 1994-95, his fifth and final season with New Jersey, Claude led the Devils to their first Stanley Cup championship, registering 13 goals in 20 playoff games, taking home the Conn Smythe Trophy as Playoff MVP. As a member of the Colorado Avalanche in 1995-96, Claude was once again an integral part of team history as the Avalanche hoisted Lord Stanley’s Cup for the very first time in 1996.
Claude played 297 regular-season games in an Avalanche uniform before rejoining the New Jersey Devils in November of 1999, and for a fourth and final time, would be crowned a Stanley Cup champion on June 10, 2000. Claude later played for the Phoenix Coyotes and Dallas Stars before making a comeback with the San Jose Sharks during the 2008-09 season.
Internationally, Claude represented Canada on several occasions, including capturing a gold medal at the 1985 World Junior Hockey Championships and winning the 1987 Canada Cup.
He was loved by his wife and four children, and on behalf of the Lemieux family, we kindly ask that everyone respect their privacy during this difficult time.
Memorial service details to follow.
“That’s a hell of a hockey team. I know people are crawling up [Bednar’s] ass about this that or the other. He is one hell of a coach, he’s got a great staff there” -John Tortorella

"Over the next handful of days, you try to spend as much time together as you possibly can, and you don't know what the team's going to look like come training camp, so it stings, but we'll get through it together.
