The Colorado Avalanche agreed to terms of free-agent right winger Joonas Donskoi and others on Monday.
Donskoi received a four-year, $15.6 million deal. The 27-year-old spent his first four seasons with the San Jose Sharks.
Colorado also agreed to terms with forward Pierre-Edouard Bellemare and Colin Wilson.
Donskoi scored a career-best 37 points and matched his career high of 14 goals for the Sharks last season. He has 122 career points (45 goals, 77 assists) in 283 games.
“We believe Donskoi’s likely to help fill out a roster,” Avalanche general manager Joe Sakic said on a conference call. “He’s a 200-foot participant you may set in different areas on your lineup. He competes and coaches are going to love the kind of game he is going to attract.”
Bellemare, who consented to a two-year, $3.6 million deal, spent the past two seasons with all the Vegas Golden Knights.
Bellemare had 15 points (six goals, nine assists) in 76 games last season. The 34-year-old has 65 career points (29 goals, 36 assists) in 385 games over five seasons with the Philadelphia Flyers and Golden Knights.
Wilson received a one-year, $2.6 million deal to stay with the club. The 29-year-old had 27 points (12 goals, 15 assists) in 65 games last season in his second effort with the group.
Wilson has enrolled 282 points (113 targets, 169 assists) in 623 games over 10 NHL seasons with the Nashville Predators (2009-17) and Avalanche.
