Colorado Avalanche: Evaluating the Derick Brassard Acquisition
The Colorado Avlanche acquired Panthers forward Derick Brassard at the 2019 NHL Trade Deadline, thus keeping their trade streak alive.
Colorado Avalanche GM Joe Sakic has kept his streak alive. Every year since he took the reins in 2013, Sakic has made a trade on the deadline day. Even if it’s just an AHL-level trade, Sakic does something.
Today’s trade was more than an AHL-level, though. The Colorado Avalanche acquired a depth forward from the Florida Panthers.
*If the Colorado Avalanche sign Derick Brassard to an extension, they lose that pick. Brassard is in the final deal of a five-year contract worth $5 million annually.
