Two undrafted defensemen, Jack Ahcan and Wyatt Aamodt, are climbing the Colorado depth chart for the Avalanche organization as 2024 offseason moves thin out veteran options. With MacDonald sidelined by hip surgery and Burns elevated to help replace Lindgren, the Eagles’ veterans-turned-Pros are suddenly front and center in camp. The duo brings speed and physicality, and their chemistry in Eagles seasons hints at real NHL upside if opportunities arise.

Coach Bednar stressed that a couple of NHL games isn’t a ceiling but a baseline, signaling a real chance these two can push into regular roles if they continue to prove they belong. Look for them to lead the Eagles and push for late-season call-ups, especially if injuries strike or waivers shake out. In short, the pipeline is active and potentially productive for fantasy rosters.
