Puck Pedia: The Colorado Avalanche have re-signed 33-year-old forward Brock Nelson to a three-year extension with a $7.5 million salary cap hit.
2025-26: $9 million salary and a $500,000 signing bonus
2026-27: $7.3 million salary
2027-28: $5.7 million salary
Nelson will have a full no-trade clause for the first two years and a 15-team no-trade clause in the last year of the deal.
Evan Rawal: “The price was always going to be a little uncomfortable, but the Avs didn’t really have any other options beyond “pray Bennett hits free agency and signs with you.” Weak FA class and limited trade assets. Now it’ll be interesting to see what moves are made to get under the cap.”
