The Colorado Avalanche and general manager Chris MacFarland are getting business done. The team has announced that they have extended restricted free agent defenceman Bo Byram to a two-year deal. The deal is worth $3.85 million annually.
Byram, a 22-year old from Cranbrook, British Columbia, Canada, was the fourth-overall pick in the 2019 NHL Draft. He scored his first NHL goal in October of the 2021-22 season against the Chicago Blackhawks and currently has 15 goals and 28 assists in 91 games.
Byram is the team’s second-line right defenceman, pairing with Devon Toews for another season.
