Should Nazem Kadri play wing for the Colorado Avalanche, or should the Avs keep him at center to maximize their depth? With Val Nichushkin gone and Colorado searching for the right top-six winger next to stars like Nathan MacKinnon, Martin Necas, Artturi Lehkonen, and Gabriel Landeskog, the Avs have major lineup decisions to make entering the 2026-27 NHL season. Jaden Schwartz may be the most likely option, but Kadri’s offensive production, power play fit, and ability to finish alongside elite playmakers could make him the most intriguing solution. We break down Kadri vs. Schwartz, Colorado’s young winger options, and how the Avalanche can build their best forward lines this season.
