"The Avalanche had two unsigned restricted free agent players entering Tuesday. Now the Avs have only one, after forward TJ Galiardi agreed to a one-year, $700,000 contract today.

Galiardi, 23, actually took a pay cut from his $875,000 salary of last season. But his contract of last season was a two-way deal in which he earned considerably less when playing in the minor leagues, which he did briefly."
