Avs Trade Ian Cole To Wild For Greg Pateryn

Colorado and Minnesota swapped defensemen on Tuesday, with the Avalanche acquiring Greg Pateryn and the Wild receiving Ian Cole.
The trade represents a significant salary-cap savings for Colorado from Cole\'s $4.25 million hit to Pateryn\'s $2.25 million. It also frees up a spot on the left side of the blue line for 19-year-old Avalanche prospect Bowen Byram.
\"The trade really works for them and the trade really works for us,\" Wild GM Bill Guerin said. \"And that\'s what\'s most important, I think, in making deals is you make a fair deal.\"
