DENVER — The Colorado Avalanche have re-signed Tyson Jost after the forward agreed to his qualifying offer. Terms of the deal were not disclosed but CapFriendly.com reports Jost will earn $874,125 in salary next season.
The 22-year-old forward scored eight goals and had 15 assists in 67 games for the Avalanche in 2019-20. He was a first-round selection by Colorado in 2016.
“Tyson is a strong two-way player who has NHL experience at a young age and continues to grow his game,” general manager Joe Sakic said in a release.
Sakic made it an off-season priority to retain Andre Burakovsky, Valeri Nichushkin, Ryan Graves and Jost. He brought them all back to keep intact a nucleus that advanced to the second round of the playoffs for a second straight season. They were eliminated from the post-season with an overtime loss to Dallas in Game 7.
