Days removed from their signing of Minnesota State captain Wyatt Aamodt, the Colorado Avalanched have decided to double-down on collegiate leadership out of Minnesota, signing Gophers forward Ben Meyers to a two-year Entry-Level Contract on Wednesday.
Meyers joins the organization fresh off of captaining the Minnesota Gophers to a Frozen Four defeat to Aamodt’s Minnesota State Mavericks and adds another badge to Joe Sakic’s sash of leadership within this organization. Meyers was ranked the no. 1 college free agent on Chris Peters’ Daily Faceoff prospect rankings board and was named the Big Ten Player of the Year.
