The Colorado Avalanche have traded defenseman Ryan Stanton to the Columbus Blue Jackets for defenseman Cody Goloubef. Stanton has been injured while down with the San Antonio Rampage of the AHL, where the newly-acquired Goloubef will now report.
The 26-year old Goloubef has seen his career take a turn for the worse after looking like a player who was coming on for the Blue Jackets in recent years. After re-signing with Columbus on a two-year, $1.3 million contract in the summer of 2015, Goloubef has watched the Blue Jackets bolster their defensive lineup with the likes of Seth Jones and Zach Werenski, forcing him back down to the AHL.
