The Colorado Avalanche has traded for 10 players since late November, but only one had his own bed waiting for him.
Looking for depth on defense, the Avalanche have reportedly re-acquired veteran defenseman Erik Johnson for another playoff run. They didn't have to give up a whole lot to acquire him either, as AHL forward Givani Smith is heading back to the Philadelphia Flyers in the trade.
Charlie Coyle and Brandon Carlo face each other in new uniforms after trades to Colorado and Toronto. Same for Erik Johnson and Scott Laughton.
After acquiring center Brock Nelson Thursday night, Avs general manager Chris MacFarland traded for Charlie Coyle and brought back Erik Johnson.
It’s been a busy couple of days for the Colorado Avalanche and Devon Toews is excited about the changes. It helps that he is close friends with two of the additions — Brock Nelson and all-too-familiar Erik Johnson.
