The Avalanche have re-signed Sheldon Dries to a one-year contract.

Dries split his 2019 campaign between the Colorado Avalanche and Colorado Eagles (AHL). During his time in the NHL, the 25-year-old centre had three goals and three assists in 40 games. Dries will likely be a fringe NHLer to start the 2020 season. The P-E Bellemare signing this offseason will likely push him back to the NHL to start though.

The Jets have signed Andrew Copp to a two-year contract worth $4.56 million ($2.28M AAV).

Copp was awarded a $2.28M AAV contract by an independent arbitrator and is signed through the 2021 season. Copp missed 13 games last year but had a career-high 11 goals to go along with 14 assists while ranking third among Jets forwards in SH TOI/GM (1:22).

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.

The Blues have signed Nolan Stevens to a one-year extension worth $700K.

Stevens was a fifth-round pick (No.125 overall) in 2016 and turned pro in 2019. The 22-year-old played four years at Northeastern University, finishing third on the team in points (42) in his final season (2018). Stevens had nine goals and nine assists (18 points) in 59 games with San Antonio (AHL) this year.

Gibson will start Friday vs. the Kings.

Gibson stopped 30 of 31 shots in the Ducks win in Edmonton last Saturday. Gibson started the year strong and is finishing strong, winning three in a row and seven of his last eight while posting a 2.50 GAA and .925 SV%. The Ducks did him no justice this season but Gibson has won at least 25 games in three straight seasons now and should be a top goalie target heading into 2019-20.

Talbot will start Tuesday in Dallas.

Talbot allowed three goals on 30 shots in the Flyers 5-2 loss in Carolina on Saturday. With the Flyers out of the playoff race, they will go with Talbot again on Tuesday, likely just to get a few more looks at him as a potential backup to Carter Hart next season. Talbot is 1-1-0 while stopping 72 of the 79 shots (.911 SV%) in three appearances since joining the Flyers.
