Denver, CO (SportsNetwork.com) – Brad Stuart has yet to play a regular-season game for the Colorado Avalanche, but that didn’t deter the club from signing the veteran defenseman to a two-year contract extension on Monday.<\/p>\n
The Avalanche also extended the contract of forward Cody McLeod for three years.<\/p>\n
Both players are entering the final seasons of their current deals.<\/p>\n
The Avalanche acquired Stuart in a trade with San Jose on July 1 for a pair of draft picks.<\/p>\n
Stuart, 34, has totaled 77 goals and 245 assists in 985 career games with the Sharks, Boston, Calgary, Los Angeles and Detroit. He won a Stanley Cup with the Red Wings in 2008.<\/p>\n
McLeod has spent his entire career with the Avalanche, supplying grit and energy and occasional offense as a bottom-six winger. The 30-year-old has totaled 50 goals and 41 assists in 467 career games. His 978 penalty minutes are the most in Avalanche history and sixth-most dating back to the franchise’s days in Quebec.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
