There were conflicting reports on Monday about a potential trade that would send Rene Bourque to the Avalanche in exchange for P.A. Parenteau. First, TVA Sports reported that Marc Bergevin had turned down this trade, which seems implausible, but then it emerged that it may have been the other way around, which makes more sense.

We’ll see if anything materializes.
