is Andy going to be a 5.5 million player next year? a 4 million player at 39? Seems long and high for a sunset contract. I would be more comfortable if I saw what he had in the tank this year
Yea, I don't understand extending an aging player right before the season starts. Why not just sign him to an appropriate contract at the end of the year, or midway through when he's proving he still has it.
I don't care about the money. What I care about is that there is a full season ahead. What's the rush to sign him now?
We did that dumb thing with Boro, Greening and handed that massive contract to Ryan right before he fell apart.

Well there is the obvious one who are trashing everything that management is doing. It's almost always the same people.. I feel you.
I'm not a fan of the 2y, but i understand why they are doing it, and i see both pros and cons of doing it right now. I would have wait a little longer, but if the contract talk are being Andy and he can focus on his game. Good thing !!

I am one of those that trash management, because I generally don't agree with 90% of the decisions Dorion has made. This one, however, is a deal I am completely in favor of. Andy is the best goaltender in the history of this franchise and he has yet to show any signs of a decline. The $$ amount and the term are perfect. This also buys Hogberg a couple more years.
The issue now become that Condon contract. That's a lot of money to be paying a goalie with very average career numbers. He was huge for us when Andy was away and without him, we would not have made the playoffs. BUT, to reward Condon with a 2.4 mil for the next 3 seasons is crazy. Gonna be a very difficult contract to move and you would think that Dorion and company would have learned from their mistake of rewarding a backup goalie with a big long term contract coming off the best season of his career. Where is that guy now? Oh, he is still eating up cap space and not playing. He is also the guy who has a better career save % than Mike Condon.
We have assets to turn over to reduce our cap this summer:
Hoff out and White in
Dzingel out and Formenton in
Condon out and Dreiger / Hogberg in
EK out Chabot in (just kidding but don't be surprised when it happens)
and don't be surprised if Ryan is packaged with EK in a trade this summer. That is one way to get rid of Ryan's contract
Anderson single handily save me this franchise from being a lottery team for a few years
How did this become a thing with the Senators - Alfie, Methot for nothing, Spezza

Boucher was sunk in TB by a goalie who fell off a cliff in Dwayne Rolloson and the TB crease became a gong show.

Agreed. There was no risk waiting til the end of the year to extend him.
