AVS ADD HUNWICK FOR COHEN
The Colorado Avalanche acquired defenseman Matt Hunwick from the Boston Bruins for defenseman Colby Cohen.
What does it give the Colorado Avalanche
The Avs add yet another mobile puck-moving blueliner here with the arrival of Hunwick, whose acquisition could lead to more moves along the Colorado blueline. Hunwick has proven to be a solid citizen, but he doesn't have Cohen's upside. Therefore, it was a curious deal to make at this time.
What does it give the Boston Bruins
The Bruins needed to shed some salary, since veteran center Marc Savard is set to return from long term injured reserve imminently. So, Boston moved out Hunwick and added a solid blueline prospect in Cohen in the process. Overall, the Bruins could not have done a better job of asset management.
