RYCROFT TO COLUMBUS
The Columbus Blue Jackets acquired winger Mark Rycroft from the Colorado Avalanche for defenseman Darcy Campbell and forward Philippe Dupuis.
What does it give the Columbus Blue Jackets
In Rycroft, the Jackets add a depth winger with experience. He could fill in at some point for fourth liners such as Jared Boll or Jody Shelley, but he'll have minimal impact.
What does it give the Colorado Avalanche
Campbell and Dupuis are both younger than Rycroft, but neither is expected to see a lot of time in Denver this season. In fact, they'll likely be with the AHL's Lake Erie Monsters for the foreseeable future.
