To Arizona:
Aleksi Heponiemi (68)
To Colorado:
Markus Niemelainen (71)
Colorado accepts. We have several AHL forward prospects who may not be good enough on offence for the top six, and not good enough on defence for the bottom six. I think Niemelainen is more likely to play a role on my team and is pretty much NHL-ready.

The Colorado Avalanche - missing the playoffs every year since EHEC began UNTIL NOW! PLAN THE PARADE BABY
Re: ARI/COL
Confirmed, too many good young defensemen.
Niemelainen would at best be a #6 dman here, so he wasn't going to be resigned to play in the AHL. Heponiemi is an equivalent forward that won't result in a cap penalty playing in the AHL next season.
