The Colorado Avalanche re‑signed veteran defenseman Brent Burns to a one‑year contract and locked up Brett Kulak on a five‑year deal, preserving their blue‑line core. Burns, the 41‑year‑old ironman leader, returned on a one‑year pact that keeps his veteran savvy in the locker room. Kulak, a steady playoff performer, avoided unrestricted free agency by agreeing to a five‑year contract that shored up depth on the defensive wing.
