Colorado Avalanche re-sign Valeri Nichushkin

The Colorado Avalanche have re-signed forward Valeri Nichushkin to a new two-year worth a total of $5M. The deal comes with a $2.5m hit against the salary cap.

Nichushkin scored 13 goals and added 14 assists in 65 games for the Avs last season. After failing to live up to expectations in Dallas, the 25-year old winger resurrected his career after signing on in Colorado for the league minimum just before training camp.

“Valeri played important minutes for us this season and had one of the best years of his career,” General Manager Joe Sakic said in a press release.
