Avalanche acquire Brassard from Panthers for 2020 3rd-rounder

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

If Brassard, an unrestricted free agent at season's end, re-signs with Colorado, the Avalanche don't get Florida's pick, reports LeBrun.

Brassard was traded to the Panthers by the Pittsburgh Penguins on Feb. 1 and appeared in just 10 games with Florida. He won't need to travel very far this time; the Panthers are in Colorado for a Monday night clash with the Avalanche.

The 31-year-old center has notched 19 points in 50 games split between the Penguins and Panthers this season.
