The Colorado Avalanche made a big splash on the eve of the NHL trade deadline late Thursday night by getting center Brock Nelson from the New York Islanders.
Colorado sent defenseman Oliver Kylington, prospect Calum Ritchie, a 2026 first-round pick and a conditional third-rounder in 2028 to the Islanders for Nelson and 23-year-old winger William Dufour.
Nelson, a pending unrestricted free agent, was considered one of the top players available.
The Islanders almost immediately traded Kylington to Anaheim for future considerations.
