Morning Flurries: Tyson Jost gets new deal

It’s been over two weeks since the NHL’s bizarre 2020 free agency period started, and things have finally started to slow down.

A few minor league signings have peppered newsfeeds over the last few days, with the Joe Thornton deal causing a bit of a splash to spruce things up. But for the most part, it’s down to a few hanger-ons without 2020-21 deals and contract extensions — most of which aren’t the big names, either.

For Colorado, at least one more thing has been checked off the list, though. Tyson Jost, who put up eight goals and 23 points last season for the Avalanche in his first full (albeit covid-shortened) NHL season, inked a one-year extension with the club worth $874,125.
