The Colorado Avalanche have had one major weakness on their roster the past couple of seasons that has really held them back come playoff time: the lack of a legitimate second-line center.

The Colorado Avalanche, in what seems to be their final trade of the season, have acquired defenseman Erik Johnson from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for forward prospect Givani Smith.
