Today, the Colorado Avalanche have announced that Andre Burakovsky has signed a one-year contract with the team with a reported AAV of $3.25 million. Burakovsky came to the Avalanche this summer in exchange for Scott Kosmachuk, a second-, and a third-round pick in 2020.
Burakovsky appears to have signed the mandatory Qualifying Offer sent to him by the Capitals (that transferred to the Avalanche in the trade). In most cases, the qualifying offer is the player’s salary from the previous season given to him again on a one-year deal.
