Former Albany pros Bergfors and Eckford sign new NHL contracts

Two more free agency signings to report on, as former Albany River Rats forward Niclas Bergfors has signed a one year, $575,000 contract with the Nashville Predators, and former Albany Devils defenseman Tyler Eckford has landed a one year, two-way contract with the Phoenix Coyotes.

Bergfors, who left the Devils organization in February of 2010 when he was traded to Atlanta in the Ilya Kovalchuk deal, played for the Albany River Rats during the 2005-06 season, recording 17 goals and 23 assists over 65 regular season games.

Eckford appeared in 37 games for the Albany Devils last season, registering 2 goals and 10 assists before being excused from the team for personal reasons in late January.
