Ross Colton Traded To Avalanche
1 year agoThe Colorado Avalanche have acquired forward Ross Colton from the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Lightning received the 37th pick of this year's draft in return for the pending restricted free agent. Colton himself is a former fourth-rounder who has developed into a solid NHLer during his time in Tampa. He is one of only nine Lightning players to post a 20-goal year within his first two seasons in the league, and Colton finished last season with 32 points in 81 games. The 26-year-old has totaled 47 goals and 83 points in 190 games for his entire NHL career. He won't set the world alight, but Colton should provide the Avalanche with solid third-line minutes.
