Confirmed with Link: Landeskog is BACK

[Northern Avs Fan]

This is higher than I would’ve gone at max term. Landy did well. It looks like Sakic caved on the final day, not wanting to lose his captain.

I’m really happy to have Landy back, but I don’t love the contract.

 

[wayninja]

This is bittersweet to say the least. The price is ok, but full NMC? Oof.

Let's just cross our fingers that he's got 8 high-level years left.

 

[dahrougem2]

Ok good that it's a full no-move for 4 years only and then modified no-trade the last 4 years. A lot easier to move when he gets to suck status

 

[ItsFineImFine]

Eugh, fine I guess. This better not mean we lose Grubauer though.

We're screwed for depth if he does as well though, we're going bargain bin shopping.

 

[S E P H]

Now he can pay my boy @Jazzguitar what he's worth, 25% bitches!!!!!

 

[Pacman33]

Yea not happy with 8 years but also seemed like we didnt have much of a choice

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Joe caved and got bent over

IMO an NMC was always going to be part of it.


Make no mistake here fellas, this is absolutely a discount for us. If it had gotten to tomorrow, Landy would have had offers in the ~8.5M range.


Everyone involved here gave a little and ultimately came out with a contract all parties should be happy with.

Landy will retire making just shy of 100M

 

[Avsfan1921]

Glad it's done and he's back. AAV is fair and we knew it was going to a long term deal if he came back, so I'm not surprised in the least...

Now get Gru back for under 6 please.

Id take the contract and having Landy over the possibility of losing him over 500k

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Very suspicious this gets announced at 11:29(reverse of 92 his jersey number).

Suspicious or just super lame, I’m not sure.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

A full no move on 8 years and we still couldn’t get the AAV down in the 6’s? Damn.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Looks like Strickland is not completely right... again

 

[Avsboy]

This is a huge win for both Landy and the Avs. Avs stay a good team, Landy makes huge amounts of money and can win. Without Landy, who would Sakic go after? There are few forwards left.

If Gru doesn't sign the next move should be a deal with Arizona for Kuemper, Dvorak, Kessel with retention. Kessel replaces Donskoi, Dvorak replaces Saad, Kuemper replaces Grubauer.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I have no doubt if Landy had made it to FA he would have received offers in the 9s, teams are very willing to overpay for leadership/grit/etc

 

[henchman21]

This is a good deal. When it starts getting bad, the Avs won’t be contending anyway. Now… time to lock up the goalie.

 

[Foppa2118]

These statwhackers are getting out of control. 56% chance this deal is gonna be positive? f*** off. 100% chance you have no idea whether it will or not.

If the Avs win a Cup with Landy as Captain, this deal was absolutely worth it.

 

[Ginger Papa]

Hi my Avs friends,

Congratulations on the Re-signing of the Captain. Very happy to read about this news

Now let’s see about the Goaltender Mr. Sakic

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

So do we still hate sakic?

 

[dahrougem2]

So is Sakic still terrible and has handled this in the worst way possible?

 

[S E P H]

This is a good deal. When it starts getting bad, the Avs won’t be contending anyway. Now… time to lock up the goalie.

Mate, what's the rumours with the Gibson cost? I haven't paid too much attention to what they wanted from the Canes?

 

[MaKarter]

Landy passed Sakic's test. He has earned the 8×7, full no-trade, and the keys to the franchise once Sakic retires.

All Sakic was doing is giving the same hard fought negotiating lessons that Sakic learned as a player.

You are now the chosen one Landy.

 

[katfude]

So do we still hate sakic?

not as much as i hate snowblowers

 

[EscapedGoat]

This is bittersweet to say the least. The price is ok, but full NMC? Oof.

Only full NMC for first 4 years. Get off the ledge fellas and try to be happy.

I'll be livid if we don't re-sign Grubauer but gave Landeskog $7 M.

Have you seen the goalie market? It's pretty bad unless you make a trade. We have a proven #1 goalie, re-sign the friggin guy, Landeskog's offense can always be replaced.
