The Colorado Avalanche announced Monday that they have signed defenseman Ryan Murray to a short term deal.
The deal is reportedly a one-year deal worth $2 million. The 27-year-old is expected to help stabilize one of the bottom two pairings on the left side after last season with the New Jersey Devils. The former first round selection tallied 14 points in 48 games, all assists.
Prior to his time with the Devils, he spent 7 years with the Columbus Blue Jackets putting up 110 points in 347 games.
"Ryan is an effective two-way defenseman who can provide minutes and added puck movement to our back line," said Avalanche Executive Vice President / General Manager Joe Sakic. "We like the experience he brings to our locker room, and we're excited to see him fit in with our group."
