The Colorado Avalanche announced today that forward Freddie Hamilton has been traded to the Calgary Flames in return for a 2016 conditional seventh-round draft pick.
Hamilton played 17 games with the Avalanche last season—his first with the club—following his acquisition from the San Jose Sharks on March 2 at the 2015 NHL trade deadline.
The Toronto, Ontario, native finished the 2014-15 campaign with one goal—his first in the NHL—and 11 shots. The marker served as the game-winning tally in a 5-2 Avalanche win at the Arizona Coyotes on March 19.
Hamilton, 23, joins his brother Dougie, who was traded to the Flames by the Boston Bruins, in the Calgary organization.
