With the NHL Trade Deadline just 24 hours away, a lot of heads are turned towards the Colorado Avalanche, wondering just how active they will be. Though most of their team (aside from Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen) could likely be had for the right price, four names continue to pop up most in the chatter: Matt Duchene, Gabriel Landeskog, Jarome Iginla and Francois Beauchemin.

Just in case they are active, here’s a little preview of the “big four,” including what they would add to a team, what they might want in return and where could be a good fit.
