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.
Awkwardly, the Panthers are slated to play the Avs tonight in Denver.
