Hannan Traded to Caps

Reports indicate that Colorado Avalanche defenseman Scott Hannan has been traded to the Washington Capitals in exchange for Tomas Fleischmann. Hannan is a 31-year-old shutdown defender who will greatly help the Caps as they prepare for what they hope will be a long playoff run.

Both players will be unrestricted free agents in July. This is the second straight year GM George McPhee has made a trade at this point during the season. (Jason Chimera was traded to the Caps on Dec. 28, 2009.)

More coverage coming later.
