Confirmed with Link: Landeskog is BACK

[Avs71]

92 will be in the rafters when all is said and done. Love it.

 

[hockeyfish]

Hell yeah.

 

[Foppa2118]

Full NMC for the first 4 years is fine. Landy wasn't going anywhere in four years anyway.

Not so coincidentally though, four years is when Mikko's deal is up.

 

[jabubenice]

Joe caved and got bent over

nothing on the market equivalent to what landeskog brings. probably jus a 500k over payment and had to eat the extra year... but its worth it

 

[Avsboy]

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.

Avs would have been down three wingers. There were practically not enough forwards left on the market to replace what Avs would have lost.

 

[Avsfan1921]

So do we still hate sakic?

Yes. He caved and overpaid a player on the decline while giving him max term with a partial NMC... I want Holland!!!

 

[S E P H]

Now I can continue to hate Matt Cooke more @EscapedGoat !

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

8 more years of the viking.

 

[jabubenice]

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.

yeah u eat the $500k and extra year and move the f*** on...

 

[Jazzguitar]

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

Yes please! hahaha

 

[JWK]

Giving 8 years to a 3rd line grinder? smh Joe

 

[EscapedGoat]

Yes. He caved and overpaid a player on the decline while giving him max term with a partial NMC... I want Holland!!!

By "on the decline" you mean consistently a ppg player? Uhm, okay.

Now I can continue to hate Matt Cooke more @EscapedGoat !

All good, brother.

Joe did everything right here. Threw everything he could at Landy to try and make him sign a more team friendly deal. Ultimately Joe recognized that he had no choice but to give in at the end, but still a fair deal nonetheless.

 

[Cypher]

yeah u eat the $500k and extra year and move the f*** on...

and thank your lucky stars you didn't sign Jaden Schwartz for 750k less.

I think this is a decent value contract. On the open market Landy would make at least 8 million AAV, but with one year less.

and thank your lucky stars you didn't sign Jaden Schwartz for 750k less.

exactly this... joe was gonna over pay one way or another. better overpay for the devil you know

 

[henchman21]

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

I don’t really know what the pieces would be. I’d guess a 1st and A prospect would get it done. Maybe less.

Think that's exactly what happened. Glad Joe made the right decision. It wasn't worth it to let Landy go.

 

[BrickNHL]

Sleepy Joe now forgiven for that Macdermid trade

 

[Avsfan1921]

By "on the decline" you mean consistently a ppg player? Uhm, okay.



All good, brother.

Was sarcasm lol, I am thrilled with the signing!

Now we can really start crunching numbers...

11F, 6D, 1G signed

Landy - Mack - Mikko
???? - Kadri - Burakovsky
Nuke - ???? - Newhook
JTC - Maltsev - O'Connor
Sherwood

Toews - Makar
Girard - EJ
Byram - ????
MacDummy

???
Francouz


So 10.8M in space. We need a Starting Goalie(Sounds like Joe isn't going to spend more then 5M on a starter whether that ends up being Gruby or Kuemper or Andersen). We need a 3C, we need a 3RD, and we need a 2LW. The 3RD should cost 1M or less. If Jost is the 3C that's ~2M.

That will leave us with ~3M to spend on a Top 6 Winger.


If Joe really pays up for a guy with 50% retention, we could still add a really good Top 6 forward.

 

[jabubenice]

Avs would have been down three wingers. There weren't enough forwards left on the market to replace what Avs would have lost.

exactly this... my thoughts exactly...

 

[Spilot23]

Glad that the out of town insiders got wrong again telling us there’s no way Landy sign under 8M$. Now they’re saying it will look bad in few years which most of Avs fans agreed. Everything to save their faces right ?

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

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

Im still not happy with Landy’s agent, feel like their obvious leaks to the media probably ended up dragging this out a bit more. Would not be surprised if Landy made a call on staying with the Avs rather than his agents preference for him to hit the market.

If Newhook is on the team next year (which I think he should be), he'll be in the top6. Putting him on the 3rd line with Nuke and like Jost is setting him up for failure.
