Avalanche officially ink Kerfoot to entry-level deal
by from on (#305YD)
Alexander Kerfoot has put pen to paper with the Colorado Avalanche.
The coveted forward agreed to an entry-level contract with the NHL club Thursday.
It's a two-year deal that carries an NHL rate of $832,000 per season and an AHL rate of $70,000 per campaign, according to Mike Chambers of The Denver Post.
Kerfoot chose to become an unrestricted free agent last week rather than sign with the New Jersey Devils, who drafted him in 2012.
He posted 45 points in 36 games with Harvard this past season in his senior campaign with the Crimson, and his point production improved in all three subsequent college seasons following his freshman year.
