The Colorado Avalanche have signed Noah Juulsen to a two-year contract worth $2.2 million, with a cap hit of $1.1 million each season.

Last season with the Philadelphia Flyers, he finished with one goal and nine assists for 10 points. The 6-foot-2, 201-pound right-handed defenseman is most likely going to be the Avalanche's seventh defenseman this upcoming season.

Drafted 26th overall in the first round of the 2015 NHL Draft, Juulsen is a defenseman that you can really like in this position for the Avalanche, where on nights he can fill in 14-15 minutes a game and be reliable in the defensive zone.

With this move, the Avalanche now have just over $1 million in cap space, so it will be interesting whether these are all the moves they intend to make, or if another move will be made to create cap space and involve another signing.
