The Colorado Avalanche continued strengthening their organizational depth Wednesday, signing forward Adam Beckman to a two-year, two-way contract after one of the most productive offensive seasons of his professional career.

According to reports from NHL insider Elliotte Friedman and AHL insider Tony Androckitis, Beckman's new deal carries an NHL salary of $850,000 in the first year and $900,000 in the second. The contract includes an AHL salary of $475,000 in both seasons with a $500,000 guaranteed salary each year.

Beckman arrives after spending the 2025-26 season in the New York Islanders organization, where he established himself as one of the American Hockey League's top goal scorers. Skating for the Bridgeport Islanders, the 24-year-old recorded 30 goals and 21 assists for 51 points in 68 games, leading the club in goals and showcasing the finishing ability that made him a highly regarded prospect earlier in his career.

While the bulk of his production came in the AHL, Beckman also appeared in 23 NHL games with the Islanders, adding to the 36 career NHL games he has played between New York and the Minnesota Wild.

Earlier in his professional career, Beckman also drew national attention after receiving a 10-game suspension from the American Hockey League during the 2024-25 season for making physical contact with an official in a game against the Charlotte Checkers. The league ruled the collision fell under physical abuse of an official without intent to injure.

Originally selected by the Minnesota Wild in the third round (75th overall) of the 2019 NHL Draft, Beckman has consistently produced offensively in the AHL throughout his professional career. His combination of scoring touch and NHL experience gives Colorado another intriguing option as the organization looks to strengthen its forward depth entering the 2026-27 season.

The signing could prove especially beneficial for the Colorado Eagles, where Beckman is expected to play a significant role if he doesn't crack the Avalanche's opening-night roster. After scoring 30 goals a season ago, he'll arrive as one of the Eagles' most accomplished offensive additions in recent years while also providing the Avalanche with another call-up option should injuries arise during the season.

For a Colorado organization that values internal competition and organizational depth, Beckman represents a low-risk addition with legitimate offensive upside. Now, he'll look to build on last season's breakout performance and turn it into sustained success.
