Avalanche Sign Goaltender Anderson to Two-Year Contract

The Colorado Avalanche addressed their goaltending needs on Wednesday by signing goalie Craig Anderson to a two-year contract worth $3.6 million. The deal averages out to $1.8 million per season. In 31 games last season, Anderson posted a 15-7-5 record, three shutouts, a GAA of 2.71, and a .924 save percentage. This is a good signing for the Avalanche, as they needed a proven starting goaltender and Anderson fits that need. He’s got good goaltending skills and will easily grab the starting role away from Peter Budaj in Colorado.
