At the eleventh hour, the Colorado Avalanche extended their streak to 16 consecutive years with a trade on deadline day. While the team did not make a blockbuster, it may have improved the organization. The Avs and Rangers swapped defensemen, who were seemingly in similar positions within their respective organizations.
Chris Bigras
Chris Bigras began the season with the Colorado Avalanche, playing an unspectacular 15 games with the club. He last appeared in a game for the big club on November, 22. Bigras was averaging a meagre 13:52 of ice time per game. He also had negative advanced stats, with unimpressive Corsi and Fenwick numbers.
