Avalanche's Keaton Middleton: On waivers

Middleton was placed on waivers by the Avalanche, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports Sunday.

Middleton spent the majority of the 2024-25 regular season at the top level, playing 41 NHL games against just 17 outings with AHL Colorado. After Sunday's move, the 27-year-old seems primed to start the season at least in the minors, but he should be one of the Avalanche's first call-up options on the blue line.
