Merkulov Joins Avalanche with Lysell | NHL News
Description
The Colorado Avalanche just pulled off a savvy move, signing undrafted star Georgii Merkulov to a one-year deal for the 2026-27 season. After lighting up the AHL with Providence—61 points, 24 goals, 37 assists—and flashing NHL potential in a single game with Boston, Merkulov brings elite two-way upside. A standout at Ohio State with 34 freshman points and All-Big Ten honors, he’s now reuniting with Fabian Lysell, a trade acquisition from Boston, fueling fan excitement. Signed to a standard AHL contract worth $350K–$400K, Merkulov could see NHL time with Denver, especially with the team’s cap-friendly structure. A smart, buzzworthy addition to the roster.
