Nice, three years

 

[CoachBadkitten]

Locker room problem, signed before Nuke could get his bag

3.4

 

[forsbergavs32]

Seems a bit high but still much cheaper than what we were gonna pay for Kuemper

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

I was thinking between 3 and 3.5, so this is right where I expected.

 

[CoachBadkitten]

His QO was 2.65 so this is not surprising at all

 

[LOFIN]

I was hoping slightly less but it's for 3 years so ok. Not going to be bent out of shape for that. Now announce Nuke.

 

[henchman21]

Not great not terrible

 

[redandyellowcametobe]

Definitely seems a bit high. Big risk. If AG plays well this season Sakic will be a damn god of all gods. Ultimate put your balls on the table move from Joe and company

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Essentially got the Grubauer deal + $100K

 

[Avs_19]

Probably would've been less if it was a two-year deal but they likely paid a bit more to get him for three years. No issue with this contract.

Avs will pay less for their two goalies than just for Kuemper next season. Will it work? We'll see.....

 

[avalanche_country]

Let’s see if it pays off Cotten

 

[Avsboy]

I like the three years. Doesn't expire when Frank does and the goalie position should be solved for the next little while

 

[forsbergavs32]

 

[atreyuavenged]

Was hoping for four years around this term. If he breaks out, it's gonna be a great short term deal.

 

[BrickNHL]

Oof that’s pretty bad but hopefully he just needed a spot to prove himself

 

[Avs44]

$750k more than I’d have liked. Tough to doubt Sakic and MacFarland right now, though….just seems like it could have been lower considering the doubts around this guy and the opportunity the Avs present him.

 

[UnkleKraker]

About what was expected. Saved probably $2.6 and term vs. Kuemper and I am going to guess the performance difference won't be much. Cap management FTW.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

It’s a steal if he’s as good as he thinks he is. The three years is a nice change.

His QO was around that, obviously going to get a bit more with term

 

[ANewHope]

Sakic obviously believes in him so I'm guessing he got more for the 3rd year. Basically hoping he pops off here and you've got a cheap starting goalie for 3 years vs him trying to cash in after two.

Guessing you could have signed him for 2.8-3 if it was only two years.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

I'm okay with this, would have preferred 3M on the dot but it is what it is. Hoping this becomes a steal of a contract

 

[Gumballhead]

I'm lazy to research, but is the longest we'll have had control of a (let's assume) starting goalie this century?
