One day after completing a trade for the rights to Kevin Mandolese, the Avalanche and the 23-year-old goaltender agreed to a one-year contract, the team announced Tuesday.
Mandolese signed a two-way contract worth $775,000, a league source told The Denver Post, with the Canadian netminder likely to compete with Trent Miner for playing time with the Colorado Eagles in the AHL.
The Avs acquired Mandolese’s rights in a trade with the Ottawa Senators, with the two teams also swapping draft picks in the deal. The Avs sent a 2026 sixth-round pick to Ottawa in exchange for a seventh-round selection in the same draft.
