The Colorado Avalanche will have some extra skill at training camp.

Jack Skille, that is, who's skating in uniform with the team Tuesday and will be a full participant at camp on a professional tryout, according to Mike Chambers of the Denver Post.

Defenseman Andrej Meszaros will also attend on a PTO, Chambers reports.

Skille spent last season with the Columbus Blue Jackets, recording six goals and two assists in 45 games prior to undergoing shoulder surgery. The 28-year-old forward was drafted seventh overall by the Chicago Blackhawks in 2005, but he's been hindered by injuries while bouncing around the NHL.

Meszaros, also a first-round pick (23rd in 2004), is a 10-year NHL veteran. He appeared in 60 games for the Buffalo Sabres in 2014-15, contributing seven goals and seven assists.
