Date News Advice
June 29, 2026 Avon signed a one-year, two-way contract with Seattle on Monday. - During the 2025-26 campaign with AHL Coachella Valley, Avon supplied 10 goals and 24 points in 45 regular-season games before adding seven tallies and one assist in 12 playoff outings. He doesn't have any NHL playing time yet, and it wouldn't be surprising if he spends most of 2026-27 in the minors. None
May 15, 2026 Avon scored twice in AHL Coachella Valley's 4-0 win over Colorado in Game 2 on Friday. - Avon helped the Firebirds even the series, opening the scoring at 1:20 of the third period before adding an insurance marker later in the frame. He's now at seven goals, one assist and a minus-2 rating over 10 playoff contests, shooting 29.2 percent in the postseason compared to 14.3 percent in the regular season. None
April 29, 2026 Avon scored two goals in AHL Coachella Valley's 3-0 win over Ontario in Game 1 on Wednesday. - Avon put up 24 points over 45 regular-season appearances, his best output in three AHL campaigns. He's already at three goals and an assist over four playoff contests. The 22-year-old doesn't seem to be close to a potential NHL debut given his offensive output, and if it happens in the coming years, he projects as more of a defensive forward. None
Nov. 12, 2025 Avon scored twice and added an assist in AHL Coachella Valley's 6-3 win over Bakersfield on Tuesday. - Avon is up to three goals and eight points through 11 outings this season. Considering he had a total of 35 points across his first 125 AHL games, he's off to a fantastic start in his new organization -- he was traded from the Flyers to the Kraken in September. The 22-year-old isn't all that promising a prospect, but he could change the narrative if his growth on offense sticks. None
Sept. 4, 2025 Avon was traded to Seattle from Philadelphia in exchange for Tucker Robertson on Thursday. - Avon has spent the last two seasons with AHL Lehigh Valley, managing seven goals and 10 assists across 60 regular-season games in 2024-25. He will likely suit up for AHL Coachella Valley during the 2025-26 campaign. None
Oct. 18, 2023 Avon (undisclosed) was activated from season-opening injured reserve and assigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Wednesday, per CapFriendly. - Avon missed the first week of the campaign while nursing the injury. The 20-year-old is set to make his professional debut with the Phantoms and figures to spend almost all of 2023-24 with the farm team. None
Oct. 9, 2023 Avon (undisclosed) will begin the season on injured reserve, per CapFriendly. - It's unclear when Avon was injured but he'll be unavailable to begin the 2023-24 campaign. He recorded 29 goals and 60 points in 59 OHL games last year with Peterbourough and has yet to appear in an AHL or NHL contest. The 20-year-old will likely head down to the minors once he's healthy.
