The Coyotes traded Ranford to the Avalanche on Wednesday in exchange for Joe Whitney.
Ranford was called up from AHL Tuscon to be sent over to Colorado. He's known as a gritty forward, but scouts point out that he needs to work on his skating. This will be Ranford's third organization since hearing his name called by the Flyers with a seventh-round selection in the 2010 draft; the depth skater was just traded from the Stars exactly one month ago, and we wonder if so much shuffling has thrown off his development a bit. Ranford is a late bloomer at 24 years old -- if he blooms at all.
