Avs close door on coaching questions, signing Bednar through 2030-31

The Colorado Avalanche have signed head coach Jared Bednar to a contract extension through the 2030-31 season, eliminating uncertainty surrounding his future with the team. Bednar had been entering the final year of his previous deal, which had raised questions about his long-term status in Colorado. The multi-year extension keeps the bench boss in place well into the next decade.
