With the Broncos trading for Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson on Tuesday, here’s a look at the five biggest trades in Colorado sports history.

No. 5 Patrick Roy

Date: Dec. 6, 1995

Details: The Avalanche acquired the 30-year-old Roy and winger Mike Keane from Montreal in exchange for Andrei Kovalenko, Martin Rucinsky and Jocelyn Thibault.

Synopsis: Roy turned a good career into a Hall of Fame one with Colorado, leading the Avs to a pair of Stanley Cup championships. Keane made an impact on the 1996 title team as well, while none of the players the Canadians got so much as made an all-star team.
