Avalanche acquire Brock Nelson from the Islanders on the eve of the NHL trade deadline
Associated PressThe 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. The Rangers are also retaining half of what’s left of Smith’s salary and getting young forward Brendan Brisson and a 2025 third-round pick — previously belonging to last-place San Jose — back from Vegas. “It’s not stuff you get recognized for, but it’s something that will definitely help them.” In a pre-midnight move preceding the Avalanche adding Nelson, Minnesota got 6-foot-5 winger Justin Brazeau from Boston for younger forwards Marat Khusnutdinov and Jakub Lauko, plus a 2026 sixth-round pick. In another late-night deal, Edmonton acquired defenseman Jake Walman from San Jose for the Oilers’ conditional 2026 first-round pick and forward Carl Berglund.
