well it did happen,

The Washington Capitals have acquired defenseman Scott Hannan from the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for forward Tomas Fleischmann. We've said the Capitals needed a Hannan-type before, and now they have Hannan. Fleischmann's an enigmatic player who can still thrive away from the Caps' offensive talent. But Hannan's a coup here for Washington, and getting him well before any trade-deadline bidding wars is even better. [Capitals, Kings of Leonsis, OFB]

That was a pretty decent move by the Avs.
