Colorado acquired tough guy Peter Worrell and a second-round pick in 2004 on Saturday from the Florida Panthers for forwards Vaclav Nedorost and Eric Messier.
Worrell, 25, had two goals and three assists with a team-leading 193 penalty minutes in 63 games. He was fifth in the league in penalty minutes, despite missing 19 due to injury.
In 2001-02 he led the NHL with his career-high of 354 penalty minutes.
"Peter Worrell will add a tremendous amount of grit and toughness to our lineup,'' Michel Goulet, the Avs' vice-president of player personnel, said in a statement. "His presence adds another physical dimension to our team.''
He should be a nice replacement for the loss of Scott Parker.
