Confirmed with Link: Avs re-sign Tyson Jost for 2 years x $2M AAV

[Pierce Hawthorne]

HFAvs about the meltdown again over a 2 year 2mil AAV contract.

so true


Despite the fact every comparable he has is right at 2M as well. But people dont like to hear that and pretend it wasn't true.

 

[RockyMtnRedhawk]

Makes sense. It's about what I expected. No reason for everyone to overreact on this one.

 

[RampoSanta]

$2M AAV.... Hot garbage. Only $3.5M left.

Time to move that JTC and Jost contract

 

[Belgican]

Can’t believe Sakic negociate to the limit with Landy and Gru, just to give $500.000 extra to Jost

Every comparable in the league for Jost was at 2M or more. Simple as that.

 

[pockets]

I'll take Jost @ $2m/yr over Compher @ $3.5m/yr 10 out of 10 times, so now we just have to get rid of Compher...

A #3 centre for 2 million is cheap guys, be grateful

 

[Vk1ing]

2 million is ok. Could have been a bit lower but its not like he is making 3.5 or something.

 

[Grackle Party]

2 mil for what? trying hard?

 

[Belgican]

Jost is a 4th line player who has the IQ to play on any line, but he just won’t drive any line, even the 4th. I was generous with 1.5M.

 

[RECKLESS]

Jost is underrated here.
He is trending up.

 

[shadow1]

Definitely not a discount, but this is pretty much what I expected.

Props to Jost. He changed his game and really became a solid defensive forward. I just hope he can continue his second half production into next season (final 28 games: 6 goals, 8 assists, +15).

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

That’s about 500K more than I was hoping he would come in at.

I wouldn’t really care that much is every penny didn’t count so much this year.

How much space do they have left now?

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

If Joe wants to add help on 2LW or D, he's gonna have to trade JTC now. I sure hope he seriously considers it. JTC is a black hole at C and makes too much to be a 4RW.

 

[Hasbro]

I was hoping with that NoDak education Jost wouldn't know how to count to two.

$2M for a 3C who cant win FO and cant drive play... Shouldnt be on the roster unless he is one of the healthy scratches

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Could be $250k lower AAV, but whatever. Not going to get up in arms about this.

Hope he continues to progress into a good bottom 6 forward.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

So unless a trade comes along or something unexpected, I think our roster for next year is set....


Landy - Mack - Mikko
JTC - Kadri - Buakovsky
Nuke - Jost - Newhook
Helm - Maltsev - LOC
Sherwood/Sikura


Toews - Makar
Girard - EJ
Byram - MacDonald
McKeown/MacDermid


Kuemper
Francouz




Broken down... 1st line stays the same, 2nd line is significantly worse, 3rd line is worse(Though if Newhook pops off it could be better), 4th line is slightly better).

On Defense, 1st pairing stays the same, 2nd pairing is probably better until EJ gets hurt, 3rd pairing is hard to read. Goaltending is probably better but way more risky.



Overall assuming Joe is done now... I think we are a worse team from last year, and it all stems from the 2nd line being significantly downgraded at the 2LW spot and the 3rd line probably being downgraded at 3RW.

 

[McMetal]

2m is a little on the high side given his production, but it was likely what it took to avoid arbitration. With the flat cap I wouldn't be surprised if more agents didn't push their clients to go to arb to get an award that just goes off comparables and ignores the flatness of the cap. That's why so many RFAs didn't get qualified this time around, teams are scared of arbitration awards that they can't control.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

For his age and the improvements he made this year, it’s a fine contract.

I was hoping for minor discount, but not a big deal.

 

[AvsCOL]

That's a nice contract. Still need to fill out the roster though.

 

[S E P H]

Sakic helping Grandpa Jost is obviously why he was able to get this much.

It's true. But also him at 3C is a significant weakness.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

That’s about 500K more than I was hoping he would come in at.

I wouldn’t really care that much is every penny didn’t count so much this year.

How much space do they have left now?

3.5M
