Good morning all. Coming off the mayhem of the draft and trades last weekend, the Avs kept rolling with a couple of free agent signings this week.
- Right off the bat on Wednesday, Colorado signed former Anaheim defenseman Francois Beauchemin to a 3-year contract to slot into the top pairing next to Erik Johnson. Even though some Avs fans are skeptical of the choice, EJ indicated his enthusiasm on twitter so I'm good with it.
- The Avs also signed versatile 29 year old winger Blake Comeau from the Penguins. I like this one too, Comeau can score and kill penalties plus provide badly needed depth to the bottom-6.
