Avalanche, Sabres finalizing wild Casey Mittelstadt-Bowen Byram trade

Mere minutes after acquiring Sean Walker from the Philadelphia Flyers, the Colorado Avalanche are making another trade call to acquire Casey Mittelstadt from the Buffalo Sabres.

The Avs are sending Bowen Byram back in a true one-for-one deal, according to The Athletic’s Chris Johnston.

Colorado is shipping out a first-round pick, Ryan Johansen and Bowen Byram, and getting back Walker and Mittelstadt in return.

More to come.
