Jack Ahcan - NHL News & Rumors

Secures two-year deal Ahcan agreed to terms on a two-year, $1.75 million contract with Colorado on Wednesday, David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reports.

Impact Ahcan will continue to face an uphill battle when it comes to securing a permanent spot on the Avs' blue line. Last year, the 29-year-old defenseman played in just 11 regular-season games for the club, notching two assists, six hits and eight shots. Even if he does make the team coming out of camp, Ahcan doesn't offer enough offensive upside or category coverage to be worth taking in most fantasy formats.

Impact Ahcan made three appearances during the Avalanche's playoff run, going minus-3 with seven blocked shots and four hits. The 29-year-old defenseman will resume his participation with the Eagles as they begin the AHL's Western Conference Finals on Thursday versus AHL Chicago.

If the Eagles are eliminated from their playoff race, Ahcan will likely rejoin the Avalanche.

Nick Blankenburg has filled in while Manson has been out. Ahcan had a great regular season with the Eagles in 2025-26, generating 11 goals, 50 points and a plus-24 rating over 61 appearances. Should he draw into the lineup for the Avalanche in the postseason, it will be in a third-pairing role.

Four points in AHL win Tuesday Ahcan scored a goal and added three assists in AHL Colorado's 6-5 overtime win over Calgary on Tuesday.

Impact Ahcan made six appearances with the Avalanche earlier in the season thanks to a hot start with the Eagles combined with injuries on the NHL roster. The defenseman is heating up again with two goals and eight helpers over his last four contests in the AHL, which puts him in a good spot for a call-up should more injuries occur for the Avalanche. Ahcan has earned four goals, 19 points and a plus-13 rating across 20 appearances in the AHL this season.
