From Snowny Mounains to Sunny Beaches


The Colorado Avalanche have traded Ryan Smyth to the Los Angeles Kings for puck-moving defenceman Kyle Quincey, blueliner Tom Preissing and a fifth-round pick.

Fantasy Outlook: Smyth offers grit and leadership to a young Kings team. At 33 years old, Smyth still has the abilty to play in all situations and be a factor as a top 6 forward. With 59 points in 77 games he should be looked at as a depth forward that can also offer penalty minutes. Draft him in late rounds as there should be younger options available to you to fill your roster.

Kyle Quincy had a successful rookie campainge with 38 points in 72 last season. Quincy will now have the opportunity to star in Colorado as the teams powerplay quarterback and will learn from experienced defenceman Adam Foote. Quincy should be able to upgrade on his point totals from last season, draft him with confidence.
