TSN: The Colorado Avalanche have acquired Ryan O’Byrne from the Montreal Canadiens for prospect Michael Bournival.
O’Byrne has only appeared in 3 games for the Canadiens this season. Bournival plays for the Shawinigan Cataractes in the QMJHL.
Eric Duhatscek via twitter: The Avalanche dressed 4 kids on the blueline last night against the Flames, Shattenkirk, Cohen, Holos and Liffiton, hence one of the reasons for trading for O’Byrne.
Cap Geek via twitter: Ryan O’Bryne has a salary of $1.4 million, a cap hit of $941,667. He’ll be a RFA at seasons end.
