The Colorado Avalanche and pending restricted free agent Andre Burakovsky have agreed to a contract. The 24-year-old winger signed a standard one-year contract worth $3.25 million.
Colorado acquired Burakovsky in a trade just before free agency, sending over a second rounder and Arizona’s third rounder along with pending RFA Scott Kosmachuk for the forward. Burakovsky had long been the subject of trade rumors, though Mile Vogel of the Caps’ website reveled that Andre had requested a trade at the deadline.
As noted, Burakovsky was himself a pending RFA. He was coming off a season that saw him earn just 12 goals and 13 assists in 76 games, though he was stuck on the third line the whole time.
