The Avalanche have been busy rebuilding and have made a few deals to work towards the future.

To Colorado:
Alex Burrows
2016 1st (OTT)

To Ottawa:
Milan Michalek

Michalek wasn't in the future plans so turning him into a 1st round pick and some temporary help now was an ideal move.

To Colorado:
Ryan Malone
2015 2nd (NAS)

To Nashville:
Sergei Gonchar
Matthew Lombardi

Again, this deal breaks down to Gonchar for a 2nd. 39 year old Gonchar was certainly not in the long term plans.

To Colorado:
Stephen Weiss
2015 2nd (VAN)

To Vancouver:
Zack Smith
2015 4th (COL)

Another trade to bring in a pick for the future.

To Colorado:
2015 1st (BUF)
2016 2nd (BUF)
Peter Harrold

To Buffalo
Tyler Bozak

Bozak was a really hard player to move. He put up the numbers in the NHL but nobody really values him. This move was to bring in another high end pick in a good draft.

There are quite a few talks ongoing and should hopefully have a few more trades within the next few days.
