What do we think Avs nation? Looks like a potential shrewd move to acquire a potential long-term future 2C.

We’re gonna be so stacked for centers this year
Could be that one of last year's weakness is a strength this year.
Maybe, but he's 26. I think he's the replacement and upgrade for JTC on a cheaper RFA contract. So an even better 3C
That could certainly be. Either way, I'm very impressed with the Avs moves over the last few days. They re-stocked their C position in a shrewd manner and also went ahead and drafted twice earlier on.
Avs GM Chris MacFarland comments on Ross Colton:
We like a lot about him. We like his competitiveness. We like his versatility. He’s a guy that can score. He’s a guy that plays physical, he plays around the net. He comes from a team that’s been at the top for a very long time. That pedigree is going to fit seamlessly into our room. We’re very fortunate to be able to add him to our mix.
