The Avalache are still rolling, and making trades before the coming trade deadline. Jack Johnson is coming back home to Colorado after being traded for Andreas Englund, but is this the right move to make for the Avs defensive depth? Was it really necessary to move Englund to bring Johnson back? Next, Keith Kinkaid was traded for Shane Bowers to give the Avs some more insurance at goalie. But most importantly, the Avalanche are playing some of their best hockey of the season with dominant victories over the Winnipeg Jets and Calgary Flames, and have already knocking on the door for the lead in the West without Cale Makar and Gabe Landeskog in the lineup. Can they keep it up against Vegas and New Jersey this week? Welcome to The Tell It Avs It Is Podcast, your home for everything Colorado Avalanche on The Hockey Podcast Network!
