There was no movement on the two biggest pending issues for the Stanley Cup champions – the destination of free agent Nazem Kadri and a potential extension for Nathan MacKinnon – but the Avalanche had a busy day as the free agency signing period opened Wednesday.

Kadri is a free agent eligible to sign anywhere, though Colorado is likely to try to keep him. Wednesday was the first day MacKinnon was eligible to sign an eight-year extension, a move the team has said it would like to accomplish.

While nothing developed on those fronts, here are the moves involving the Avalanche on a busy day for transactions in the NHL, as tracked through team announcements and media reports.

Extensions

– Artturi Lehkonen signs for five years, $22.5 million. The winger, 27, was a restricted free agent. The Avs dealt a second-round pick for Lehkonen on March 21 and he went on to score nine points in 16 regular-season games and 14 more (eight goals, six assists) in 20 playoff games.

– Defenseman Josh Manson, 30, inks a four-year contract. He was acquired from Anaheim on March 14 and recorded seven points in 22 game with Colorado.

– Darren Helm comes back on a one-year, $1.25 contract. The 35-year-old center played his first 14 seasons with Detroit before joining the Avs in 2021-22 and scoring two goals with three assists in the playoffs.

– Andreas Englund, 26, played 57 games with the Colorado Eagles in the AHL this past season. He agreed to a one-year deal.
