Rumor: 2024-2025 Trade Rumors and Free Agency Talk | The Slow Crawl to the Season

Speaking of Mitts I finally found the contract model from Evolving Hockey, someone asked about it the other day. This was posted on the EH site a week before the signing.

As you can see, the price for 3 years was projected at 5.8M (spot on), 4 years was also 5.8M AAV and 5 years was 6M AAV. Best bang for the buck was 7 years at 6.7M, that'd have covered his entire prime for dirt cheap with the cap going up. Best option considering our cap situation would have been 1 or 5 years.

Take a few seconds to read the paragraph on top please.

That contract bought 2 RFA years and 1 UFA year.

So we really should've done something like Nuke's contract. Or basically the numbers above.

I think these charts have some valuable insight.

I also think that they are simply computer generated, and it shows. There’s simply no logical reason that his cap hit would stay relatively equal from 3-5 year contracts and the Avs would simply say no thanks.

We’ve seen the avs extend contracts purely to bring th cap down to a manageable level.

Now, do I think the Avs should’ve signed him longer, absolutely. But I have zero faith these were the numbers discussed at the negotiations. 4 and 5 year contracts are WAY too friendly to the Avs for them to not go that route.

Okay cool. But what did Mittlestadt the actual human with thoughts, feelings and ambitions want? Not the computer model.

You are way too obsessed with this contract.

We don't know everything the Avs offered, nor do we know that Mittelstadt and his agent would've accepted the Twin Brothers' model-generated contract.
