Calvert (undisclosed) will hang up his skates after 11 NHL seasons due to lingering injury concerns.
EDGE Analysis
Calvert played in 566 games for the Blue Jackets and Avalanche over the course of his career in which he tallied 95 goals, 108 assists and 376 PIM while averaging 14:07 of ice time. The 31-year-old winger was limited to just 18 games this past year due to his undisclosed injuries. Without Calvert around, the Avs will turn to youngsters like Alex Newhook and Kiefer Sherwood to bolster their forward depth.

Calvert (undisclosed) recently underwent surgery and isn't expected to be available for the playoffs, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's safe to assume Calvert won't return during postseason play, so he'll finish the campaign having picked up three helpers through 18 regular-season contests. The 31-year-old forward will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and it remains to be seen how much interest he'll garner on the open market after an injury-riddled 2020-21 campaign.

Calvert is considered week-to-week with an undisclosed injury, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Calvert's absence will test Colorado's depth up front, but it won't impact many fantasy lineups, as he's only picked up three helpers in 18 games this campaign. It wouldn't be surprising to see the veteran winger surface on injured reserve in the coming days.
