The Colorado Avalanche have been busy taking care of business before the long two months of absolutely nothing hockey related. (Let’s face it, we’re already there with Free Agency Frenzy in the rearview mirror.)
In any case, the team has undertaken some housekeeping items. They’ve made two very important signings, Martin Kaut and Matthew Nieto, in the last couple days. They’ve also signed three AHLers and even augmented their equipment staff.
Let’s start with the big signings.
Martin Kaut
Age: 18
Position: Right wing
Contract: Entry-level, 3 years, $1.
