Denver, CO - The Colorado Avalanche announced a pair of signings on Friday. Forward John Mitchell was inked to a three-year contract extension and goaltender Reto Berra was kept in the fold with a three-year deal. Mitchell has registered seven goals and 23 points in 65 games this season for the Avalanche. The 29-year-old signed with Colorado in July of 2012 and tallied 10 goals and 20 points last season. "John is a proven NHL player who has been a very good addition to our team the past two seasons," said Avalanche executive vice president of hockey operations Joe Sakic. "He can play in different situations and we feel his presence and his versatility will continue to strongly benefit our team moving forward." A fifth-round draft pick of Toronto in 2003, Mitchell spent parts of three seasons with the Maple Leafs and one season with the Rangers before joining the Avalanche. Berra was acquired from Calgary on Mar. 5 in exchange for a second-round pick in this years draft. The Swiss native posted a 9-17-2 record in his first NHL season for the Flames. "As I mentioned when we acquired Reto, we strongly believe in his abilities," said Sakic. "He has size and skill and will help solidify our goaltending position for years to come." The 27-year-old was taken by St. Louis in the 2006 draft, but spent his entire professional career in Switzerland prior to this year. Berras contract likely means that current backup Jean-Sebastien Giguere will either retire or catch on with another club next season. Custom Arizona Coyotes Jerseys .

Either totally into it, or totally out of it. A day after the skating legend died at the age of 65, former skaters were lovingly, laughingly sharing stories at the Canadian championships.Wilkes, an Olympic silver medallist in pairs, trained with Cranston in Toronto in the early years of his career. She was a sympathetic ear for the sometimes-tortured skater, whose attention to artistry would forever change mens figure skating.I would say If that is your vision, how are you going to find the bravery to be able to display that, despite people laughing, or despite criticism. He certainly developed a passion, and almost an obsession about how he was going to deliver that.The funny part is he would often say to me Im not a very good skater. He would say Its bravado, I want to shock people, I want people to be able to see something new and fresh and in order to break down those barriers of awareness maybe I need to shock people a little bit. And he took that on. His subject matter and methods were unheard of at the time.We always talked about what courage he had to find to be able to deliver the style that he believed in so strongly.Wilkes travelled the world with Cranston. They were crazy times.He was crazy, he was absoluutely the weirdest and most wonderful person ever.dddddddddddd Incredibly generous, but never spoke about that, and loved the drama, loved the spotlight, wanted to be the centre of attention. Would get very moody if he wasnt, Wilked said.But always with an idea about how to broaden peoples views. What did he need to do to shock and inspire.Friends and former skaters refer to the crazy Cranston stories as Tollerisms. Many of them cant be repeated, Mike Slipchuk said laughing.Last time I saw Toller was worlds in London (2013), said Slipchuk, a former Canadian champion and now Skate Canadas high performance director. There was a huge line of people waiting to get autographs from him, and he sees me, and he comes straight over, and we sat on two folding chairs across from everyone and talked, and we must have sat there an hour while people were waiting for his autograph.Eric Radford won his fourth consecutive Canadian pairs title Saturday night with partner Meagan Duhamel. Earlier in the day, hed sat down to watch some of Cranstons programs on YouTube. Its really hard for me to imagine how it was back then in the skating world and exactly what it took for him to just go out there and literally change the face of skating like he did, Radford said. Even I could compare his actual movements, and his actual routines and his musicality, compare it to todays skaters, he was just phenomenal, and obviously he was a groundbreaker and paved the way for so many other skaters.Cranston, a six-time Canadian champion, died at his home in Mexico of an apparent heart attack.
