February 16, 2025
Gulyayev has logged six goals, eight helpers, six PIM, 70 shots on goal and a minus-2 rating over 55 games with KHL Omsk in 2024-25.
ANALYSIS
Gulyayev, the No. 31 overall selection by Colorado in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, is playing in his third KHL season. His contract with Omsk doesn't expire until after the 2025-26 campaign. The 19-year-old blueliner's progression has been questionable at best -- his 15:53 of average ice time in 2024-25 is a marginal increase from the 15:38 he received in 2023-24. His development will be of keen interest to the Avalanche -- the club does not possess a deep prospect pool. Gulyayev shouldn't be expected to transition to the NHL until at least 2026-27.

Arriving in 2026?
DColorado Avalanche  Foreign
August 26, 2025
Gulyayev could be ready to play for the Avalanche in 2026, Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now reports Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Gulyayev is entering the last year of his contract with the KHL's Avangard Omsk. He has earned a total of 28 points over 144 regular-season games for Avangard across the last three years while also seeing time with the organization's minor-league and junior affiliates. The 31st overall pick in 2023 is a creative passer and a smooth skater. Still, his performance in the KHL so far indicates he won't make an immediate fantasy impact even if his NHL debut comes this spring, but the Avalanche have few prospects in the pipeline.
