Colorado Avalanche Sign Anton Blidh

August 3, 2022 at 12:49 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson 6 Comments

Per a team tweet Wednesday afternoon, the Colorado Avalanche have signed former Boston Bruins forward Anton Blidh to a one-year contract in free agency. Contract terms will be updated when they’re released.

Blidh joins the Avalanche after spending seven seasons playing in the Bruins organization, turning pro two years after he was drafted by the team in 2013. He finally became a full-time NHL player in 2021-22, and while he only played in 32 games for the Bruins, it was the first season in the organization that he never suited up in the AHL.

In 2021-22, Blidh set NHL career highs in goals (two), assists (seven), and points (nine) in those 32 games. He’d appeared in NHL games for the Bruins in six straight seasons, finishing with 12 points in 70 games.

Mostly a checking and energy forward, Blidh could look to replace the loss of Nicolas Aube-Kubel in the Avalanche lineup if he’s able to continue his regular NHL presence. If not, he’ll be a leader in the room for the Colorado Eagles.

      Umm what are you talking about, Kuhlman had all of 8 points on the Kraken in 25 games (while an improvement over his Bruins time, that’s not flourishing) and Donato put together a career best whole 31 points last season, hardly flourishing. Say what you want about Sweeney but the guys he drafts suck and tend to suck wherever they go.

      It’s impossible to tell on the internet, there’s people out there who legitimately have that bad of an opinion.

      I just hope after this season because face it’s going to be horrible that Neely gets off his knees and stands up to tell the Jacobs “We need a big overhaul so we may miss the playoffs for a yr or so”

    It rather shows how empty the Bruins system is of young talent that a guy who was never better than a third liner in Providence had any NHL time at all. Describing Blidh as an “energy forward” is a bit of a giggle fit, when he was almost always invisible on the ice.
