Last years are gonna hurt but that's a solid AAV for what he brings to the table for the years we can win the cup. Deal with any problems with the cap hit later on.

Joe has earned an apology from lots on this board about alleged “low balling”

The art of the deal

 

[Shane Diesel]

I would've let him walk.

 

[Cypher]

Last 2 years might be rough, don't think he'll age well. But hopefully they front load the contract so buying-out the last 2 years isn't that bad if it's needed.

 

[katfude]

8 years

7 mil

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Had a feeling it gets done today…. Good stuff.

Is dater still stuck in an elevator

 

[the_fan]

Well then. I was almost ready to purchase a MacK jersey with the C on it but I guess that's gotta wait for 8 more years...

Good to have Landy back

Joe caved and got bent over

 

[Foppa2118]

What a rollercoaster the last couple weeks from thinking this was a slam dunk until now.

I was pushing for them to leave Landy unprotected in expansion, with the reasoning being that they could pretend they just had a really tough negotiation. Then they leave him exposed because they really did have a tough negotiation.

I thought 7x7 was the fair compromise. Looks like Landy playing hard ball right back at Joe got him the extra year. Good for him. Might be painful for the Avs down the road, but that's a problem for down the road.

The Captain is back! Now lets go win a Cup boys!

 

[S E P H]

8 years should've probably put him down to 6.5, but hey it's only 500k difference per year so I won't whine about it.

Joe caved and got bent over

Eh, bent over would’ve been 8 years at 8-9/year, this is okay

 

[RoyIsALegend]

$56m and full NMC for the first 4 years.

Congrats Landy.

Joe caved and got bent over

Ehhhhhhh this I am not happy about.

Boy Landeskog got his cake and ate it, too. Got the term, got the money and got the full no-move.

 

[Alex Jones]

Shit that's a lot. Joe tried to play hardball and struck out.

 

[Ararana]

 

[katfude]

Full no move hurts real bad. Those last 2 years we're all going to be doing the same crap we've been doing with EJ this last year.

 

[S E P H]

Joe caved and got bent over

Ewwwwww, but again Landeskog's group had all the power so not surprised by this fact. We all called Anders Lee a bad contract, but that honestly doesn't look bad. What's worse for the Islanders are the ones given out to Bailey and Eberle and that would be our version of Saad.

 

[henchman21]

If they’d have just listened to me a week to 10 days ago, they’d have already had this done. 56m… was just a choice of 7 or 8 years.

 

[atreyuavenged]

Glad it got done. 7m is not too bad, but those later years may or may not be rough. He doesn't exactly play how he used to so maybe he will hold up a bit better then the Benn's, Ladd's and Clarkson's of the world.

 

[S E P H]

Full no move hurts real bad. Those last 2 years we're all going to be doing the same crap we've been doing with EJ this last year.

Doesn't it? Honestly the worst aspect was for the expansion draft and there isn't going to be a new team in his time at Colorado.

 

[Avs44]

Yeah, Sakic obviously caved in at the end. Gave him the 8th year at 7 million, gave him the NMC. Either he was trying to bluff Landeskog and Landeskog wouldn't blink, or he realized at the end that he couldn't find an adequate replacement / "plan B" didn't look so great.
