Avalanche Sign David Jones to One-Year Contract

The Colorado Avalanche announced today that they have signed right wing David Jones to a one-year contract worth $2.5 million. He would have been a restricted free agent on July 1. In 77 games last season, he had 27 goals and 18 assists for 45 points. Not a bad signing for the Avalanche, as Jones was one of the top offensive producers on the team last season. He brings plenty of offensive and goal-scoring skill to the team, as well as some versatility. He will likely play a top-six role on the Avalanche once again next season.
