Sujet: Colorado Avalanche signed Hunter Miska (1 Year / $700,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rebecca</b></div><div>Miska has been a solid tandem option in net for the Colorado Eagles. He’s been particularly strong of late and, arguably, is the best goaltender in the AHL on an AHL (only) contract.

We’re gonna have to find another goalie to wear that crown (and hint: there aren’t many goalies in the AHL not signed to NHL contracts). This is a market efficiency the Avs are taking advantage of, picking up one of the best goalies in the North America not signed to an NHL contract.

As it stood, the Avs were 3 goalies deep, for all intents and purposes. This signing gives the Avs a 4th strong option they hope they never have to use.</div></div>

Avs had Goalie injuries in the early Winter this season and now have 4 goalies with an nhl win this year. Miska under contract now gives Colorado 5. Not sure who you forgot but the Avs have Grubauer, Francouz, Warner, Bibeau, and now Miska under contract. In a perfect world (as an Avs fan) only the first 2 will see nhl ice time the rest of the season.

Sujet: (ARI/COL) - Connauton and 2020 3rd round pick for Söderberg
Ian Cole and Erik Johnson are both penalty killing dman for the Avs who may miss the beginning of the season after off season surgery. Johnson for a shoulder and Cole for both hips. Connauton can play the PK. He does not need to be a workhorse, and for his contract and status, he won't be expected to be. The Avs leveraged what they had for some blue line insurance.

As for Soderberg, he will be able to get back to 3C position that seems more natural to him behind Stepan and Dvorak and the Avs can open up ice time for Compher and Jost down the middle. Also, as much as much as I like Big Ole Carl on and off the ice, he will turn 34 in the first month of the season, so maybe a role step back will be a good thing for his productivity in a contract year.

There really is no loser here. Both teams and players got what they needed.
