The Colorado Avalanche have signed right wing Nail Yakupov on the fourth day of free agency. This marks the team’s sixth signing, but only the third of a bona fide NHL player.
Colorado signed Yakupov on a simple, one-year contract with just an $875,000 cap hit. He’s coming off a two-year contract with a $2.5 million cap hit.
Though he comes cheap, Nakupov is something of a controversial acquisition. Let’s find out about the Avs’ newest right wing.
