Brindley's impressive NHL debut with the Avalanche earns him a new two-year contract, solidifying his place in their lineup.

Yesterday, former Columbus Blue Jackets' forward Gavin Brindley signed a two-year contract extension with the Colorado Avalanche. The deal carries an average annual value (AAV) of $875,000.

Brindley, 21, has played 15 games this season and scored three goals and two assists for five points. He did score his first NHL goal with his new club, earlier this season.

He was originally drafted by the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2023, but this past offseason he was dealt to the Colorado Avalanche as part of the Charlie Coyle and Miles Wood trade.

Brindley is now an everyday NHL player with this new team. He has found a home in their bottom-six and shown that he belongs. Because of that, he has earned himself a two-year contract extension.
