Holy boner of christ

Keep that aav down

 

[Captain Mountain]

Wow. I don't like that term, but it probably brings the AAV down.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Homie picked the right time to show up.

The Brian Bickell effect.

 

[Unspecified]

I mean outside of this past season he has been meh his entire career. They are pining a lot on what could be a fluke year.

 

[Mrfenn92]

I’ll guess $4.75 aav

 

[mouser]

Gack on that term. Perfect timing for that career season.

 

[Kcb12345]

Probably a low AAV for that amount. I'm guessing $4.5m.

 

[AslanRH]

If it gets that AAV down to < / = $5m I don't care the term

 

[KingsHockey24]

8 x 4.75 AAV

I mean outsider of this past season he has been meh his entire career. They are pining a lot on what could be a fluke year.

Not really. We’ll see what the average is, but he’s been a beast for the Avs for three years now. Absolute monster on the forecheck. This was the first year the pucks just started going in.

This just isn’t true. He’s been very good for Colorado. Continually getting better and taking every opportunity he has earned and blowing away expectations.

The moment that he's stepped foot in Colorado, he's been anything but meh. He's one of the league's best role players as an Av.

 

[Taluss]

Wow that term!

Tell me you don't watch the Avs without telling me you don't watch the Avs.

If you only look at offensive counting stats, this might be correct, but since joining the Avs he has definitely been a positive impact player

Dallas fans salty

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

Tell me you don't watch the Avs without telling me you don't watch the Avs.

To be fair he’s a stars fan and watched him at his absolute worst.

LET'S GO

Tell me you don't watch the Avs without telling me you don't watch the Avs.

I watched his complete implosion in Dallas where he was no better than an 8 year old girl mite player. It may not of been a fluke this season but if past dictates the future he had a great year and this next his production will crumble. I like the guy and wanted him to do well with Radulov but it has to be one of the biggest falls from grace in recent memory for Dallas. Prior to this year the combined two seasons with the Avs his production was nothing to write home about. If he didn't have this season he had he is not getting an 8 year deal.

 

[RutherPlan]

From bust to KHL fodder to getting a lifetime contract in the NHL. Don't call it a comeback.
