I expect him to pick his spot based on team preference and roster opportunity, much like he did with Dallas. So I don't think he'll be chasing the money.
I'd say somewhere around 5 or 6 million. But I have no idea where.

I believe he got 2/3s of his contract, if I'm reading google correctly. Either way, I agree he will get $5-$6, could take less to re-sign in Dallas.
3 Years Bought Out. Total $20 million salary ($24 million cap hit).
He received $6 million in signing bonuses (these are buyout proof, so guaranteed money).
He receives 2/3 of the remaining $14 million, for a total of $9.333 over six years (including this year).
So he effectively only missed out on just $4.667 million, once everything is said and done (end of 28-29).
If you're going to use facts, at least ensure they're correct.

He earns $3 million this year, so will he make up the $1.6667? Sure.
Regarding his next contract, He just turned 33, so he should get a couple of years under contract.
Whether he wants something long term for lower cap hit, or shorter term with a higher cap hit will be totally up to him, I'm sure both options will be available to him.

If thats what he wants i'd look to keep him in Dallas. Offer him 3x5-6 ish which is the same years Seguin has remaining after this one . They work really well together and its not just Duchene . While Seguin was out Duchene was noticeably less visible.

Based on all interviews and comment, family and chance to win > money. He wants to stay in Dallas if it works, otherwise expect him to go to another Southern contender. I believe he has property in Florida.

Damn he even wins more of the lottery then I thought then.
I looked at his buyout history which said 9 million dollar value
In the end his buyout is irrelevant now, I just thought it was interesting.
He can still produce

I think he and the Stars will come to a contract. He's 33. I'm thinking a deal similar to Pavelski's 2019-20 deal for 7x3.
Wherever they have square dancing and cowboy hats are a viable outfit choice he will go. The more country western bars in your downtown area the less he will cost.

9 Years, 8 playoff games. Can you blame him?

Yeah, none of that was his doing...Guy didn't have it. He was supposed to help lead Colorado but he was never mature enough to be able to handle it.

I'm over the moon about it, are you kidding me? We never took off until that locker room cancer was expelled from our team!
Also, it was 2017 not 2018.

You came into this thread talking about his 2024-25 contract meme'ing about his departure from Colorado.. that seems to be the furthest thing from being over it.

I don't know, I guess I just struck a nerve with you or something. Don't really care.
And yeah, it is funny all of these years later. The idea that he wanted to go to a team that played "playoff hockey", left and the Avalanche immediately became the best team in the West overall from 2018-current is really funny to me. Including sweeping him in the first round on their way to the cup!
So when his contract comes up and someone mentions him wanting to go to a "playoff" destination > getting paid, I find it really amusing. Guy could have been a solution here and instead was the miserable obstacle.
