Predators trade Trenin to Avalanche in 3-player deal

The Nashville Predators dealt forward Yakov Trenin and the rights to defenseman Graham Sward to the Colorado Avalanche for blue-liner Jeremy Hanzel and a 2025 third-round pick, the clubs announced Thursday.

Trenin most recently played on the Predators' second line alongside Colton Sissons and Cody Glass. Trenin notched 10 goals and four assists in 60 games with Nashville this season.

The Russian is in his fifth NHL campaign. He collected a career-high 17 goals with the Predators in 2021-22. They drafted him 55th overall in 2015.

Sward has 15 tallies and 58 helpers across 58 games with the WHL's Wenatchee Wild this season. Nashville selected the 20-year-old 146th overall in 2022 but didn't sign him to an entry-level deal.

Hanzel has produced 13 goals and 37 assists over 58 contests with the WHL's Seattle Thunderbirds in 2023-24. The Avalanche drafted the 21-year-old in the sixth round of the 2023 draft.
