Colorado Avalanche Sign Matt Stienburg

August 18, 2023 at 11:13 am CDT | by Josh Erickson Leave a Comment

The Colorado Avalanche have signed forward Matt Stienburg to a two-year, entry-level contract, per a team post on X. Stienburg was a draft pick of the Avalanche but briefly became a free agent on August 15 when his exclusive signing rights expired.

The 22-year-old center prospect was a third-round draft pick in 2019, heading off the board to Colorado at 63rd overall. He just completed a four-year collegiate stint at Cornell, although his sophomore season was wiped out entirely due to COVID. At Cornell, Stienburg finished with 20 goals, 26 assists and 46 points in 73 games and a +21 rating.

Stienburg stands out as a center with good size at 6-foot-1 and 183 pounds, with some aggressiveness in his game, although he’ll need to work on his offensive consistency to play a middle-six role in the NHL. He ended last season in the AHL on a tryout with the Colorado Eagles, recording two assists in eight games combined across the regular season and playoffs.

The Avalanche did not release the financial terms of Stienburg’s contract. However, he will be a restricted free agent upon the deal’s expiration in 2025. Over the next two years, he’ll look to make enough of an impact in the minors to warrant receiving a qualifying offer from Colorado at that point.
