Brock Nelson has become the second-line center Colorado desperately needed, and his recent hot streak is turning last year’s blockbuster trade into a game-changer for the Avalanche. After a slow start, Nelson’s 14 goals and 25 points in 35 games have silenced doubts about his fit—and that three-year, $22.5 million extension is looking smarter by the day. Meanwhile, the Islanders’ top return, Calum Ritchie, is still finding his footing. If Colorado makes a deep playoff run, this deal could go down as one of the savviest moves in recent Avs history. What do you think: was the price worth it? #Sports #IceHockey #Avalanche
