Andreas Martinsen signs with Avalanche

Better late than never, eh?

Our beloved Avalanche have signed Norwegian RW Andreas Martinsen, late of the DEL and Norway's World Championship squad. The 6'3 230# Martinsen played for Dusseldorfer for the past 3 seasons and put up 41 points in 50 games this year. The contract is a single-year ELC, 2-way of course, and my wild guess is that he will start his North American Pro career with the San Antonio Rampage.

This is another deal that shows the desire of the Avs to fill the gaps between the Avs young core and the recent draftees by the Sakic/Roy administration.
