The Captain Returns

The Avs announced today that they have signed Captain Adam Foote to a one year contract for the 2010-2011 season. This signing is no surprise since Foote said earlier that he was definitely interested in playing for another year with the team. He is only the second team captain in Avalanche history and will continue to lead the team with his veteran presence for at least one more season.

On July 1, 2010 the free agency period will begin for the NHL and between now and then, the Avs will be able to negotiate contracts with the restricted and unrestricted free agents if they wish to re-sign them. The restricted free agents are: Peter Mueller, Kevin Porter, Brandon Yip, Chris Stewart and Kyle Quincey. The unrestricted free agents are: Stephane Yelle, Matt Hendricks, Chris Durno, Darcy Tucker, David Koci, Marek Svatos, Brett Clark, Ruslan Salei, and Peter Budaj. I might be skipping somebody, but that's who is up for a new contract during this off-season.
