Latest report suggests Avalanche are frontrunners in landing NHL's top free agent this offseason

Rumours have been swirling about where Marchand could land next, with numerous teams reportedly in the mix, including the Colorado Avalanche.

Marci Rubin from Fansided writes that at 37, Marchand has shown he still has plenty in the tank. He netted 10 goals during the Panthers' Stanley Cup Playoff run, six of which came in the Stanley Cup Final alone, proving he remains a clutch performer on hockey's biggest stage.

The Avalanche are a team that could definitely utilize Marchand's services.

Following the Mikko Rantanen trade, the Avs found themselves needing additional scoring depth. It was no coincidence that their playoff exit came at the hands of the Dallas Stars, with Rantanen playing a significant role.

Enter Marchand, a seasoned veteran with a strong playoff resume and Stanley Cup victories with two different teams, who could be just the spark Colorado needs.

Marchand thrives in high-pressure moments, and the Avalanche could certainly benefit from his presence. In 20 playoff games this year with the Florida Panthers, he's tallied 8 goals and 10 assists.
