You said “straight to UFA” but it actually eats some UFA term.Read my post again, where do I say differently?

If they add Hall then they will go seven forwards and he for sure gets protected.Landy
Mack
Mikko
Naz
Makar
Girard
EJ
Graves
Add Taylor Hall or another Top 4D, or a quality 3C, and it becomes a 0% chance Burkie gets protected.
Sakic is looking further down the line for when players like Landeskog, Makar and MacKinnon need raises. This is a great deal. So many armchair GM's in here spouting the strangest opinions.Don’t like this for the Avs. He’s a pretty good player, and young, giving him just 2 years then straight to UFA kinda sucks. Didn’t even really get a discount for giving him such a player friendly term.
For those who dont follow the Avs. Read above.I don't think Sakic wanted to go long term with Burakovsky, so this is what you get. I understand that view. He strikes me as the type of player that might get complacent if too comfortable.
More of a saunter to UFA.You said “straight to UFA” but it actually eats some UFA term.
I like the idea of this elite shooter and highly skilled winger being on a short term prove it contract. Keeps him motivated to put up big numbers.

Andre Burakovsky stays in Colorado. 2 years. First year $4.4 mil, second year $5.4. Aav $4.9 mil.
You clearly don't know shit about this player so why try to act like it?He has had a good like 50-60 games in his career and deserves 5million a season now?
Imma bit confused as to why everyone thinks this is so great?
didnt he also play top line minutes with Mackinnon? Mackinnon is so good he would get anyone 50pts.

it was more of a question there champ. Relax. Why do Avs fans like this deal so much? Wasn’t he on top line with Mackinnon? Should inflate his numbers?
sorry that I hurt ur feelings
Only in the playoffs, and when landeskog and rantanen where injured.. he played alot with kadri who he had good chemistry with. He has an amazing shot, very useful player
At times. There was a point Nate was playing with Calvert and Donskoi as his line mates because of injury.So when Rantanen missed like 30games of season it wasn’t Burakovsky who replaced him?
Burakovsky was only under team control for 1 more year as he's accrued 6 NHL seasons already, so this contract doesn't walk him straight to UFA, but rather it buys 1 UFA year.Straight to UFA.
Not a fan of this at all.
Not quite sure what Sakic was thinking here.
1 or 3 years would have been fine by me but 2?
Welp...
If you add Taylor Hall it's very unlikely that we go 4+4 as that would entail exposing Kadri, unless the plan would be to trade Kadri before the Expansion Draft and replace him with Newhook immediately (just like how Makar replaced Barrie as a rookie).Landy
