If true, can't complain. Wish it were a year or two longer, but is what it is. I've been saying 9-9.5 for 6 years, 10-10.5 for 7, and somewhere over 11 for 8.
Well....Yes today is the day Mikko signs a 6 years deal worth 55.5

You jump into the wall ass-first?
Am i the only one who thinks that this is actually a pretty fair value for Mikko? I mean at the end Sakic was obviously aiming for 9x6 while Rants wanted 6x9.5 so what the contract ended up to be is right in the middle. I think both sides can (and should) live with that.
Why are bonuses a big deal? Whats the significance?
In the case of a lockout bonuses get paid out regardless. Regular salary doesntWhy are bonuses a big deal? Whats the significance?
The Avs are playing right now and NOBODY CARES because
Its just me. I tend to value guys like ROR, Bergeron and Stone a lot more than most lol. Probably why Foppa is my favourite hockey player of all time but he was special in almost all facets.
Everybody can step away from the ledge now.
#insiderrrrI think Lebrun is probably the closest one to the truth on this. Smaller gap still a week or two away. At this point just accept he's going to miss games and put it out of your mind. At least Bednar seems like a coach who's not relying on getting him back ASAP. Plan for what you have, and he'll be a welcome boost a week or two into the season.
Side note: have the Avs ever signed a bonus heavy contract? I can't say I remember one, I wonder if that's complicating things as well.
So you are ready to pay about 16M$ per year starting year 7 for extra years?Glad to see it done. I would have happily gone to 10.25 x 7 or 11x8 tbh with this guy. But this is a nice deal and gives us a little more wiggle room during the next 6 years. It’ll be a lot higher after that now though. I just hope we use the money wisely and don’t just spend it all on Bura types
