Signs with Czech club
Ludvig agreed to terms on a one-year contract with HC Dynamo Pardubice (Czechia) on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Ludvig saw action in just eight NHL games for the Avalanche last year in which he generated two assists, nine shots and 16 hits while averaging a mere 12:57 of ice time. The blueliner was slightly more productive in the minors, generating 12 points in 31 regular-season games for AHL Colorado, but it wasn't enough for him to earn a qualifying offer from the Avs this offseason. At just 24 years old, the door is certainly still open for Ludvig to eventually return to the NHL, though he likely faces an uphill battle to do so.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Expected to return after break
Ludvig, who is currently with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on a conditioning stint after missing a month of action with an upper-body injury, could return to the Penguins' lineup as early as Tuesday, according to Josh Yohe of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Yohe writes that the Penguins love Ludvig's physical play and that he'll return to the lineup once he is medically cleared. Ludvig saw his first action of the season Wednesday, picking up one shot on goal in a 4-1 loss to AHL Toronto. Pierre-Olivier Joseph could be the odd man out on the blue line when Ludvig returns to the NHL.
