The Avalanche is re-signing forward Valeri Nichushkin on an eight-year contract that runs through the 2029-30 season, the team announced late Monday afternoon.
The deal is valued at $49 million, according to media reports.
Nichushkin, 27, set career highs in goals (25), assists (27) and game-winning goals (five) last season. The 6-foot-4, 210-pound right wing was phenomenal during the Stanley Cup run with 15 points (nine goals).
