Trade Movements Made By Colorado
August 7th 2016 | Morning
The Avalanche wasted little time in their rebuild, as they acquired 21 YR old Jonathan Drouin from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange; Tampa will receive 25 YR old Patrick Wiercioch, 17 YR Old Prospect Josh Anderson and a 4th Rd Pick in 2017.

Drouin's 2015 season wasn't extremely promising for the young right winger, but is expected to shape up in the years as a great player. He's 5'11, 188 Lbs and is known for his Skating abilities, ability to read the play, and is an iron man when it comes to staying healthy.

Drouin Has played in 91 NHL Games in his career so far and has recorded 8 Goals, 34 Assists for 42 Points.

The addition of Drouin wasn't the only move made by Colorado today, as they linked up with Toronto which seen the departure of 31 YR Old John Mitchell, 26 YR Old Joe Colborne and a 2nd Rd Pick in 2017 going to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Toronto sent back the other way; 30 YR Old Tyler Bozak and 20 YR Old Kasperi Kapanen.

Bozak has spent his entire 7 YR career in the NHL with the Toronto Maple Leafs, so should be a shake to the system coming to a new team. The 6'1, 197LB Center is known for being a Two Way player and can take a Leadership role. He has Strong playmaking ability, is extremely injury-resistant, has good stamina to take on minutes if needed and is an above average skater.

In 435 NHL Games, Bozaks got 107 Goals, 160 Assists for 267 Points.

Kapanen is still an up and coming development player. He played in 9 games last season and wasn't able to crack the score sheet. He's expected to grow into a decent player, just needs the time to develop. The 6'0, 181 LB Right Winger is known at being a good skater, very durable, great vision on the ice and works extremely hard in Practices.

In 9 NHL Games, Kapanen has 0 Points
His AHL career totals are 48 Games, 10 Goals, 17 Assists for 27 Points.
