And....another deal to announce.

Going to Colorado is winger Wojtek Wolski, defenseman Jake Gardiner and defenseman Jon Merril.

Coming back is T.J. Galiardi, defenseman Nick Leddy and 1.5M in cap space.

We didn't feel Wolski was worth a RFA grid deal. Galiardi is another former Hitmen who provides strong defensive presence up front - whether we keep him or flip him remains to be seen. Leddy might win a spot on our top six or will develop in the AHL but is an upgrade on Gardiner. Cap space is always good.

Thanks to Patrick for the long talks.
