Eastside's Hockey Elite Collide

To COL:

Vladislav Kolyachonok (67)
Artyom Grushnikov (66)

To STL:

Ladislav Smid (83)
Otto Somppi (78)

Offloading Russians/Belorussians from Blues.
Smid is quality defensive veteran able to play in pro team, Somppi player for farm team.

Avs accept. Grushnikov has solid shutdown potential. Kolyachonok is an AHL replacement for Demin. Glad to get something decent for Smid. Somppi just refuses to develop defensively, like several of my AHL forwards.
