Signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Islanders in April of 2022.
Let go by Avs
Dufour was not given a qualifying offer and will be an unrestricted free agent Tuesday, Brennan Vogt of Hockey Mountain High reports.
ANALYSIS
Dufour's lone NHL appearance came back during the 2022-23 campaign, when he was with the Islanders. In his limited time with AHL Colorado this year, the 23-year-old winger notched one goal and three assists in 12 regular-season contests. At this point, the best Dufour can likely hope for is a two-way deal somewhere, but more likely he'll have to accept a minor-league-only deal if he wants to keep playing.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
A 2020 fifth-round pick, Dufour was impressive with the QMJHL's Saint John Sea Dogs in 2021-22, racking up 56 goals and 116 points through 66 contests. Despite reportedly impressing during this year's training camp, Dufour is likely still at least a season away from earning a regular role with the Islanders.
