The Colorado Avalanche are making roster adjustments as training camp approaches its conclusion. On Wednesday afternoon, they placed defensemen Christian Wolanin and Domenick Fensore on waivers, making them available for other NHL teams to claim within 24 hours. If no team claims either player, both are expected to be sent to the Colorado Eagles. These moves are part of the team’s final efforts to finalize its roster before the start of the regular season. Wolanin, 31, has mainly played in the AHL, with brief stints in the NHL for several teams, and last appeared in the NHL during the 2022-23 season. Fensore, 25, is still trying to establish himself as an NHL regular, having played only three NHL games and spending most of his recent seasons in the AHL. Both players will remain with the Eagles unless claimed by another NHL team, continuing to serve as potential call-up options for Colorado as needed. The Avalanche will play their third preseason game on Saturday against the Winnipeg Jets at Ball Arena at 6:30 p.m.
Fan Take: These roster moves highlight how teams are carefully balancing organizational depth with keeping room for emerging talent, adding excitement and unpredictability to season rosters. For fans, it’s a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes process that can ultimately shape the success of the team in the coming year.
