The New York Islanders, unable to reach agreement on a contract extension for Brock Nelson, dealt the veteran forward to the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday.

The Colorado Avalanche lost Nazem Kadri to free agency immediately after winning the Stanley Cup in 2022. They've tried different options to replace him, but with no success. Brock Nelson the latest attempt and they paid a hefty price to make it happen.

You knew it the moment that Brock Nelson gave that emotional interview after a win recently: he was going to be traded by the only NHL franchise he's called home in his terrific career.

The Avalanche's Brock Nelson trade was positioned by one analyst as a consolation prize for not landing the Penguins' Sidney Crosby.

The Avalanche sent top prospect Calum Ritchie to the Islanders in the deal, as well as a future first-round pick.

Playing it close to the vest fits how Nelson has acted throughout his NHL career. He is a ready and willing interview during the season but his words always seem to come with a detached sense of analysis, as if he’s separating his emotions from his public persona.

The head vs. heart calculus which has tugged at the Islanders’ decision-making, or lack thereof, over the last month finally hit an inflection point.
