Tanguay, 26, had 29 goals and 49 assists for 78 in 71 games last season. In 450 NHL games, Tanguay has scored 137 goals, 263 assists and 400 points. He is a +121 in his six seasons with Colorado. Leopold, 25, played in 74 games for the Flames last season, recording 20 points on two goals and 18 assists.  He posted a +6 plus/minus rating and finished second on the team in average time on ice (22:19). "Jordan is a solid defenseman and a very good skater," said Avalanche Executive Vice President and General Manager Francois Giguere.  "He is a former Hobey Baker Award winner that has great playmaking abilities at both ends of the ice.  He is only 25 years-old and has a bright future ahead of him." "Moreover, we are hopeful that this year's second-round draft pick will become an Avalanche player in the near future," added Giguere. Leopold made his NHL debut with the Flames in 2002-03 and has compiled 15 goals and 52 assists in 214 career games.</blockquote>
