From the Mikko Rantanen trade to the top of the NHL | DNVR Avalanche Best of 2025

The DNVR Avalanche Podcast looks back at everything that defined 2025 for the Colorado Avalanche. From the heartbreak of the Mikko Rantanen trade at the start of the year to Colorado sitting atop the NHL with 61 points by Christmas, we revisit the moments that shaped the season so far.

We also relive some of the most viral, unhinged, and rant-worthy moments from the show, before closing things out with a compilation of our favorite interviews of 2025

From chaos to contenders, this is the DNVR Avalanche Best of 2025.
