Nice deal!

 

[LeafChief]

Wow. Solid deal for the Avs! Replacing Zadorov with Toews. Sakic is a magician.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Excellent contract.

Avs' defensive core is coming together nicely.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

He could have simply taken a one year deal in arbitration and hit the open market in a year which what would almost certainly be heavily inflated numbers from the Avs transitional system. Sakic gets him at 4 years instead. He’s having himself quite the offseason.

Now, that’s 3 LHD signed for at least 3 years ahead of Byram on the depth chart who is NHL ready. Curious to see what happens. I’m guessing Sakic’s already expecting Ryan Graves to be in Seattle.

Will be interesting who they choose to lose in the expansion draft. One of those D is going to have to be left exposed

 

[The Moose is Loose]

Seems like a decent deal, seals Graves future in Seattle

 

[Funk21]

Am I missing something? He is still an RFA and the Avs signed him yet he was Isles property... Did they just not provide a QO Or walk away from arbitration because he would cost too much. I got to think his rights would be worth something.

All the best to Toews, he's a good one

Toews can play right. I see no way Graves is protected and I hope he plays for the Kraken after the expansion draft.

Avs traded for him a few weeks ago. 2x 2nd round picks (2021 & 2022).

Uh... seems you missed that he was traded to the Avs.

 

[Funk21]

Yes sorry just saw that now, good deal for Avs. Man they are stacked.

 

[Stuzchuk]

very fair deal!

 

[Cousin Eddie]

No he can’t and I really wish Avs fans would stop saying this when he in fact has never succeeded on the right side in the NHL.

 

[SI90]

Solid deal.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Very good deal

 

[Islay1989]

Well, we will see. I doubt they are not counting on him to play there at times.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Nice deal, but are the Avs putting too much cap space into their D core? Makar will be due a nice pay day after this season.

Cole expires after this season in time for Makar to re-up. EJ expires when Byram’s ELC ends. They have a nice thing going there.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Sakic has done it again

 

[FACTORY]

Great deal!

 

[IslesNorway]

He better keep on progressing to be deserving of such a backloaded deal.
