Edmonton Oilers: Five Avalanche Free Agents To Consider Signing
By Jim Lynch
1. Tyson Jost
Tyson Jost is an RFA forward within the Colorado Avalanche organization. The former 2016 tenth overall pick put up 17 points in 54 games last season with the Avalanche. He is young and still has a lot of hockey ahead of him in his career, but could it be on a different team?
Jost played in all ten playoff games this season for the Avalanche scoring two goals and registering two assists during that time. He was a solid middle-six guy in Colorado and at just 22 years old there definitely is a lot of hockey ahead of him.
Should Edmonton be interested in locking in a young guy for the long term I wouldn’t mind them throwing an offer sheet Jost’s way. Maybe they give him a little bit more money than Colorado has spared for him with their many big free agents.
Just had great possession numbers with a Corsi well above 50 percent and he has always been someone the team can count on. An offer sheet is not something we see all the time in the NHL, but I would like to see one on this.
