The Avalanche announced Tuesday they have signed defenseman Anton Lindholm to a two-year contract.
Lindholm, 24, was a restricted free agent. The contract is for $1.485 million with a salary cap hit of $742,500 each year, according to capfriendly.com. It’s a two-way deal for $150,000 if he plays in the minors this season and $250,000 in 2020-21.
The 5-foot-11, 191-pound Lindholm had a goal and seven assists in 57 games for the Colorado Eagles of the AHL last season, and a goal in four playoff games. He played in two Avalanche games without a point.
