one-year, $550,000 deal to return to the St. Louis Blues as a free agent. The Blues added Colaiacovo after learning that defenceman Jordan Leopold would be out eight weeks due to hand surgery. He was used for spot duty with the Blues, commonly pairing with Roman Polak and Kevin Shattenkirk. An unrestricted free agent again, Colaiacovo went unsigned until October 30, 2014, when he signed a deal with the Philadelphia Flyers. He was signed to a one-year, two-way contract for $625,000, brought in to replace the injured Braydon Coburn and Andrew MacDonald. After signing, Colaiacovo played in five of the next six games. However, the return of MacDonald forced Colaiacovo out of the lineup and remained out until January when he replaced the injured Coburn again. He appeared in 33 games with the Flyers before becoming an unrestricted free agent again. On July 3, 2015, Colaiacovo signed a one-year deal as a free agent with the Buffalo Sabres. Colaiacovo scored his first goal with the Sabres on March 23 against Cam Ward of the Carolina Hurricanes. He made 36 appearances for the Sabres in the 2015–16 season from the blueline, contributing with one goal and five points. On November 26, 2016, he belatedly signed as a free agent with Adler Mannheim of the German Deutsche Eishockey Liga for the remainder of the 2016–17 season. He finished his career after his second season with Mannheim. Broadcasting career Since September 10, 2018, Colaiacovo has been a sports broadcaster on Toronto's TSN Radio 1050 radio station serving as co-host for their morning show First Up, originally alongside veteran sportscaster Michael Landsberg. In 2021, Aaron Korolnek became the new co-host of First Up alongside Colaiacovo after Landsberg retired from broadcasting. He also appears occasionally on TSN television programming as an analyst. Personal Colaiacovo's twin brother Paulo is a former professional hockey player, and his cousin, Matt Finn (born February 24, 1994), was selected by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the second round, 35th overall, of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. Coliaicovo himself names the Maple Leafs as his favourite team, having supported the club since childhood.
