The Avalanche really did it. The Colorado Avalanche have traded Bo Byram to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for Casey Mittelstadt, at long last solving their need at second line center for the foreseeable future, but at the cost of a beloved player in Byram. But not just that, the Avs set that deal up by acquiring Sean Walker from the Philadelphia Flyers for Ryan Johansen and a 2025 1st Round pick, opening the space to move Byram and freeing up cap space. These blockbusters drastically change the outlook of the Avalanche for both the rest of this season and the future, so where do they stand now as the dust settles on MacFarland's ballsiest moves ever?
