This years NHL free agency frenzy has been one for the books, names like Matthew Tkachuk, Johnny Gaudreau, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang are just a few names who have beat free agency and signed. Their are still some free agents remaining, containing Zdeno Chara, Calvin De Haan, Loui Eriksson, Keith Yandle and a few others still remain, but two names stick out the most.
A former Norris Trophy winner by the name of P.K Subban, and the best goal-scoring forward currently available by the name of Evan Rodriguez who went on a goal scoring tear last season for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
One of those two who stick out has finally found their new home...
Evan Rodriguez has officially signed with the Colorado Avalanche for $2 million on a one-year term, Rodriguez is coming off his best NHL season ever and registered a point in at least 50% of his games last year, on the Penguins bottom lines. This is a steal of a deal, and amazing value.
The Avalanche will be able to replenish their missing forward spot with Rodriguez, with the loss of forward
Andre Burakovsky.
