Confirmed Signing with Link: [COL] F Miles Wood signs with the Avalanche (6 years, $2.5M AAV)

[Malkinstheman]

I think 3-3.5 x 6. Just like Goodrow and Tanev

 

[Ben Matlock]

Six years is a lot when he’s toast after five months.

 

[AslanRH]

Even considering a rising cap and buriable limit, this hopefully doesn't start with a 2

 

[a mangy Meowth]

noooo thats so long

 

[TheNeutralZone]

At six years, it better be a 1M AAV.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

I just 3-3.5 x 6. Just like Goodrow and Tanev

Ya I can see that. Big gamble for a team without cap space.

Other than Ross Colton, I don't think the Avs ever get a player that the original team's fans really like.

Every thread is the same haha.

 

[Satan]

Joe Sakic giveth and Joe Sakic taketh away .... 6 years YIKES

 

[Avs44]

Oh god

 

[SI90]

6 years has to be less than $2milAAV right?

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Even considering a rising cap and buriable limit, this hopefully doesn't start with a 2

That's way too low. I just hope it doesn't start with a 3 or 4.

 

[SI90]

What’s Joe Sakic history with Randy Wood?

 

[MasterofGrond]

Please show me a number

I have to know

I’m watching a car crash in slow motion

 

[Joe Sakic]

6 years....I quit

 

[DerekDevils30]

Live look at Wood’s reaction

 

[nightonthesun]

Just keep the Aav below 2m.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

This reads like a Tampa Bay special for sure

Yeah which quite frankly I'm on board with... So long as the aav is legitimately kept down.


Our cup window is only ~2-3 more years so who cares about the rest of that contract. We're gonna be retooling/rebuilding anyways.

If a 6 year deal means getting him for $2M instead of a 3x$3M deal... Great move.


If this ends up still being a $3M deal or more. Just dumb.

I don't mind Wood but he's that player that makes you pull your hair out with how maddening he is. He'll have 3 games where he looks like he's a top 6 player and then go 20 games where he just looks like complete shit. FWIW, he was pretty good to start last year but KO'd by Romanov and never recovered. He also blew out his hip recently too which took away a bit of his speed which is his hallmark. Most Devils fans love their guys who leave but we don't want you guys to get a false sense of security of the player you're getting lol

 

[Muffin]

6 years has got to be the Tampa special, lot term with a low AAV.

 

[Hivemind]

There's no way Miles Woods' agent would let him give away the 6 most lucrative years of his career for a bargain basement price. This isn't going to be a dirt cheap AAV to offset the term. This is gonna be similar to Brandon Tanev or Zack Kassian. $2.8-$3.5M AAV is my guess.

 

[DerekDevils30]

6x2 is my guess

If he got 6 years of contract security, he'd take that and run. This would be a crazy thing to do for A) a player with his injury history, and B) his level of play.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

6 years?!?!?

 

[BKarchitect]

Hopefully 2.5 or under...if this starts with a 3, that's quite a commitment for a guy who has played 4th line minutes (I grant you the Avs will likely try to deploy him more...for better or worse).

 

[Michoulicious]

6 (!!!!!!!!!!!!) years????
