The Colorado Avalanche Hockey Club announced today that the team has acquired forward Nazem Kadri, defenseman Calle Rosen and a third-round selection in the 2020 NHL Draft from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for defenseman Tyson Barrie , forward Alexander Kerfoot and a sixth-round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft.

Rosen, 25, has split the last two seasons in the Toronto organization, helping the Marlies win the 2018 Calder Cup as AHL champions. He recorded 46 points (7g/39a) in 54 games during the 2018-19 season, finishing tied for seventh among league defensemen in scoring. The 6-foot-1, 186-pound blueliner suited up in four games for the Leafs this past season and scored his first NHL goal in his season debut on April 1 at the New York Islanders.

Signed by Toronto as a free agent on May 16, 2017, Rosen has recorded two points (1g/1a) in eight career NHL games and has totaled 68 points (11g/57a) in 116 career AHL contests. He has 12 points (6g/6a) in 23 total AHL postseason appearances.

A Vaxjo, Sweden, native, Rosen spent parts of five seasons playing professionally in Sweden for the Vaxjo Lakers of the Swedish Hockey League and Rogle BK and Karlskrona HK in Allsvenskan, the second-highest professional league in the Swedish ice hockey system.
