Avalanche sign Donskoi to 4-year deal with reported $3.9M AAV

The Colorado Avalanche have signed forward Joonas Donskoi to a four-year contract, the team announced Monday.

The deal carries an average annual value of $3.9 million, reports The Athletic's Ryan S. Clark.

Donskoi spent the first four seasons of his career with the San Jose Sharks and hit free agency this summer after the expiry of a two-year contract that paid him $1.9 million annually.

The 27-year-old winger is a solid two-way player and put up 37 points across 80 games in 2018-19. He should provide good offensive depth for an Avalanche team that owns one of the best top lines in hockey.
