2025 Prospect Development Camp

On Tuesday, Avalanche PR also announced the official dates and times for this year's prospect development camp. As previously reported, the Family Sports Center schedule had significant time blocked off on their schedule for the week of July 1st.

Avalanche Training Facility Schedule Alludes to Upcoming Prospect Development Camp DatesWhile official dates for the 2025 Colorado Avalanche Prospect Development Camp have yet to be announced, a quick glance at the uploaded schedule for Family Sports Center, the training facility for the Avalanche, tells us that we can perhaps expect to see the prospects hit the ice at the beginning of July.

Official dates and times are as follows:

Tuesday, July 1st, 8:10 – 11:45 a.m. MT
Wednesday, July 2nd, 8:10 – 11:45 a.m. MT
Thursday, July 3rd, 9:00 – 11:00 a.m. MT

All on-ice sessions will be held at Family Sports Center, the Avalanche's official practice facility, and will be open and free for the public to spectate.

Locker room media availability will follow every on-ice session.

Rosters and on-ice groups will be announced at a later date.

Free Agency

Speaking of July 1st, Free Agency is set to begin that same day at 10:00 a.m. MT/12:00 p.m. ET. The Avalanche have a 4th round pick in this year's NHL Entry Draft, as well as $1.2 Million left in cap space.

Jonathan Drouin (F), Jimmy Vesey (F), Joel Kiviranta (F), Erik Johnson (D), Ryan Lindgren (D), and Tucker Poolman (D) are listed as UFAs heading into this free agency period. Sam Malinski (D) is the only listed RFA from last year's roster.

A Closer Look at Sam Malinski's Role in the Avalanche’s Offseason DecisionsWith 16 days remaining until the 2025 Free Agency period begins, the Colorado Avalanche have to make some big decisions when it comes to how they want to free up cap space to re-sign their pending unrestricted free agents and their one restricted free agent.
