Miles Wood News: Traded to Columbus

Wood has been traded, along with Charlie Coyle, from the Avalanche to the Blue Jackets on Friday for two draft picks and Gavin Brindley, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Wood spent much of the year battling injuries, as he played in only 37 regular-season games, producing just eight points. The 29-year-old then spent most of the postseason as a healthy scratch, appearing in just one of seven games in Colorado's first-round series loss to Dallas. The Avalanche, cap-strapped before this trade, clear a $2.5 million cap hit for the next four seasons, while Wood will likely slide right into a bottom-six role with the Blue Jackets.
