Avalanche Sign Matt Hunwick to One-Year Deal

According to thehockeynews.com, the Colorado Avalanche have signed defenseman Matt Hunwick to a one-year contract extension. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. He would have been a restricted free agent on July 1. He was acquired by the Avalanche last November from the Boston Bruins in exchange for Colby Cohen. In 73 games last season with the Bruins and Avalanche, Hunwick had one goal and 12 assists for 13 points. Not a bad depth signing for Colorado, as Hunwick will bring plenty of puck-moving skill and some offensive ability to their blueline next season.
