The Avalanche re-signed defenseman Josh Manson and forward Darren Helm in the 11th hour before free agency opened Wednesday morning.
Manson, who was acquired from Anaheim ahead of the trade deadline in March, was coming off a $4.1 million annual deal he signed with the Ducks in 2018. He and Helm — who signed a one-year, $1 million deal with the Avs as a free agent a year ago — were scheduled to become free agents at 10 a.m. MT on Wednesday.Manson’s signing was the final move in locking up the top six defensemen who began the playoffs for the Avs, who went 16-4 en route to winning their first championship since 2001.
Helm, 35, was a valuable fourth-line forward in the postseason with a relentless forecheck and defensive shutdown ability. And he scored the game-winning goal in the final seconds of regulation in Game 6 of the second-round series against the St. Louis Blues to send Colorado to the Western Conference finals for the first time since 2002.
Six others became free agents on Wednesday: Forwards Nazem Kadri, Andre Burakovsky, Nicolas Aube-Kubel and Nico Sturm; defensemen Jack Johnson and Ryan Murray; and goalie Darcy Kuemper.
