The #Avalanche have suspended prospect Danila Zhuravlyov due to him opting to return to Russia for "personal and family-related reasons."
Zhuravlyov, 22, was drafted 146th overall by Colorado in 2018. He has one assist through 14 games played as a defenseman with the Colorado Eagles (AHL) in his first season in North America.
Zhuravlyov's entry-level contract runs through the 2023-24 season. If it becomes clear that Zhuravlyov will not return to the Avalanche organization, a mutual termination is entirely possible.
