Avalanche Acquire F Derick Brassard from Panthers

The Colorado Avalanche have acquired forward Derick Brassard and a conditional sixth-round pick from the Florida Panthers in exchange for a 2020 third-rounder. 

If Brassard re-signs with Colorado, the Avs no longer get a sixth-round pick in the deal.

In 50 games so far this season, Brassard has 10 goals and nine assists, down from his total of 21 goals from a season ago.

The 31-year-old was selected No. 6 overall in the 2006 NHL Draft by the Columbus Blue Jackets and has also spent time with the New York Rangers and Ottawa Senators.
