The Colorado Avalanche signed forward Cody McLeod to a three-year contract on Monday.
McLeod had 15 goals and five assists in what was his first full season in the Betting NHL online last year. The 24-year-old native of Binscarth, Manitoba, garnered 162 penalty minutes during the 2008-09 season in 79 games, becoming only the second player in franchise history to collect at least 15 goals and 150 PIM in a single season.
He also led the Avs in hits with 194 and shared the team-lead with three game- winning goals.
"Cody has been an important member of our team over the last two seasons," said Avalanche general manager Greg Sherman. "He plays a physical game and can also contribute offensively. He is entering the prime years of his career and we look forward to having him remain in an Avalanche sweater." McLeod originally joined the club as an undrafted free agent in July 2006 and made his NHL debut during the 2007-08 season when he posted four goals, five assists and 120 PIM in 49 games.
