The Avalanche made a bold move involving Mikko Rantanen—but was it a major misstep when it mattered most?

On today’s The Drive, Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsay break down the ripple effects of the trade and ask:

❌ Did Colorado give up too much scoring at the worst possible time?
📉 How has the team’s offensive chemistry changed without Mikko?
🧠 What was the front office thinking—and did they overestimate their depth?
🏒 Could this move haunt the Avs for years in the postseason?

The playoffs expose everything—and this decision might be the turning point.
