Sharks trade Andrew Cogliano to Avalanche for fifth-round pick

Veteran playoff performer Andrew Cogliano joins the Hockey Central panel to discuss his trade to Colorado, saying he's happy to even be a small piece of the puzzle in what's already a really good Cup contending Avalanche team.

The Colorado Avalanche have acquired forward Andrew Cogliano from the San Jose Sharks for a fifth-round pick.

The 34-year-old has four goals and 15 points in 56 games after joining the Sharks on a one-year deal. Cogliano brings plenty of playoff experience to Colorado as he has played in 100 post-season games during his time with the Anaheim Ducks and Dallas Stars.

"Andrew was an important leader and a respected veteran in our dressing room this season," Sharks Assistant General Manager Joe Will said in a statement. "Our players will be better pros for having had Andrew as a teammate."
