Avalanche Re-Sign Yip, Add Walter

The Colorado Avalanche announced today that they have re-signed right wing Brandon Yip to a two-year contract and signed free agent center Ben Walter to a one-year contract. Financial terms of both their deals were not disclosed. These aren't bad depth signings for the Avalanche. Yip brings plenty of energy and offensive skill to the lineup, while Walter brings defensive skill to the team, but does not have a lot of scoring upside at the NHL level. As a result, he will likely spend most of next season in the minors.
