Avs trade McCabe
The Colorado Avalanche have traded Bryan McCabe to the Philadelphia Flyers for Filip Kuba and a fourth round pick.
"After spending a couple of weeks making multiple deals to upgrade our current lineup, this may seem like a step backwards," admitted GM Jam26. "However, we had to recognize the fact we have a lot of impending UFAs we would not likely be able to afford next season and in this instance, we acquire a solid defenceman already signed to a 3-year deal."
McCabe never quite fit in in Colorado. He was a defensive liability, which was to be expected, but he never lived up to expectations offensively. A change of scenery will likely do him well.
GM Jam thanks Noops for the smooth trade talks.
