The Avalanche, who are firmly in control of first place in the Central Division, acquired veteran defenseman Josh Manson on Monday in a trade with Anaheim.

Avalanche Trade Jost to Wild for Sturm (The Hockey Writers)

The Colorado Avalanche have traded Tyson Jost to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for Nico Sturm ahead of the 2022 NHL Trade Deadline.

The Wild sit in third place in the Central Division with 72 points and also have high hopes for the 2021-22 season. Rather than negotiating a new deal and hoping things would work out in favor of the team, the Wild instead opted to go younger with more certainty in the immediate future beyond this season. That’s a fairly significant drop-off for the Wild, though they do get an extra year out of Jost at a very reasonable cap hit to see if a change of scenery will help him to elevate his role in a new system.
