AVALANCHE ADD WINNIK

The Colorado Avalanche acquired forward Daniel Winnik from the Phoenix Coyotes for a fourth-round draft pick in 2012.

What does it give the Colorado Avalanche
In Winnik, the Avs have added a versatile defensive forward who should kill penalties and line up on the fourth line in 2010-11. He won't provide a ton of offense, but should be a solid role player for Colorado.

What does it give the Phoenix Coyotes
The Coyotes are opening up roster spots on their fourth line, and moving out Winnik was just the latest example. He was serviceable for Phoenix, but ultimately deemed expendable. The fourth rounder in '12 is an asset for well down the road.
