J.T. Compher News
The Avalanche signed J.T. Compher to a four-year deal worth $14.0 million ($3.5M AAV).

Compher set career-highs in goals (16), assists (16) and points (32) in 66 games last season. Compher averaged 17:29 TOI/gm but carried a -4.1 relative CorsiFor% but will likely get bumped down the depth chart following the addition of Nazem Kadri this summer. Compher should settle in as Colorado’s third line centre and could thrive against the oppositions’ bottom-6.

Compher has missed the last six games with a broken thumb, but will get back into the lineup this afternoon in Sweden. Compher has picked up one goal and three assists (four points) in eight games this season and today he skates with Matthew Nieto and Blake Comeau in his return to the lineup.

Compher has missed the last six games with a thumb injury, but it looks like he will return this weekend during the Avs’ two-game series vs. the Senators in Sweden. Compher could see an expanded role after Matt Duchene was traded to Ottawa—he has one goal and three assists (four points) while averaging 15:10 TOI/GM through eight games this season.
