Schwartz Inks Three-Year Pact With Avalanche

Jaden Schwartz is heading to Colorado on a three-year deal, reuniting with a franchise that's been aggressive in its pursuit of veteran talent. The forward brings a wealth of playoff experience and a reputation for showing up when the stakes are highest, which is exactly what the Avalanche need around their core. This signing could be the kind of depth addition that separates contenders from pretenders when the postseason arrives.
