Holland was cut from the Avalanche's training camp roster and sent to AHL Colorado on Wednesday, according to Corey Masisak of The Denver Post.
Holland didn't play with any team last season, but he did record six assists in 15 games with Djurgardens IF of the SHL in 2021-22. The 32-year-old has 36 goals and 85 points in 266 career NHL appearances.

Avalanche's Peter Holland: Attempting NHL comeback

Holland signed a professional tryout agreement with the Avalanche on Tuesday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
Holland was last seen in the NHL in 2017-18 with the Rangers, when he posted four points in 23 games in a bottom-six role. He's since played in the AHL, Russia and Sweden, though he was not on any team for the 2022-23 campaign after logging six assists in 15 contests with Djurgardens IF of the SHL a year before. Given his time away from the NHL, it seems like Holland will be a long shot to earn a contract from the Avalanche, but he may be able to settle for a two-way deal in North America if he performs well in training camp.
