Colorado Avalanche Top 25 Under 25: #10 Chase Bradley

The Top 25 Under 25 is a collaboration by Mile High Hockey staff members. Six writers have ranked players under the age of 25 in the Colorado Avalanche organization as of September 1, 2025. Now, we’ll count down each of the 25 players ranked (plus one Honorable Mention).

Weight: 181 lbs.

Likely 2025-26 Team: Colorado Eagles

2024-25 Statistics:

Colorado Avalanche – 2 GP:

0G, 0A, 0P

Colorado Eagles – 62 GP: 14G, 8A, 22P (Playoffs – 9GP: 1G, 0A, 1P)

Coming in at number 10 on this year’s Top 25 Under 25 is forward Chase Bradley. The Colorado Avalanche welcomed the University of Connecticut alum, an intriguing addition. The Detroit Red Wings originally drafted him in the seventh round in 2020, but they never signed him. It came as quite a shock to Avalanche fans when he signed at the start of free agency in July 2024.

Bradley stood out right away as he attended Development Camp last summer in Centennial, Colorado. He showed he has great speed and was a standout among all the rookies. What did not show was his grit. Bradley would play 62 games in the regular season for the Colorado Eagles and be consistently on their second and third line scoring 22 points. His pace posed a constant danger to opponents, since he excelled near the net. If Bradley didn’t score, he’d invigorate the team through fighting or tough play.

Chase Bradley has turned into a nice little pickup! He has a nice chip and toe drag here for his 13th of the season! Jacob MacDonald (23) and Bryan Yoon (2) on the helpers. MacDonald had a point taken away last night so…….. he hits 50 points on the season again! #Avs #GoAvsGo… pic.twitter.com/CthUBWvkdv

The St. Louis native made his NHL debut early in the season for the Avalanche on November 27 against the Vegas Golden Knights. Then, Bradley played against the Dallas Stars before the team reassigned him to the Eagles. Bradley stayed upbeat following the demotion, considering it an instructive experience, one that he would forever recall.

Bradley is a player who plays with heart and speed. His wrist shot, using the slot when pressured, could also perform well under pressure. Next season, Bradley will be one of many players competing for open spots on the fourth line on the Avalanche roster. Now that he has a year of professional hockey under his belt, his stats will probably improve at the AHL level as he hopes to earn another contract from the Avalanche.
