2024-25 Kraken Roster discussion

I like the contract and the best part is this signals that they'll finally start treating D'Accord like a a starter.

I like D'Accord but 5x5 for a 28 year old(who will be 29 once the deal kicks in) goalie with one full NHL season under his belt?

Hopefully he can keep it up.

I tend to think that 29-33 is the perfect age range to have a goalie locked up.

5 million for D'Accord? This team is nuts with big contracts lately. I suppose they plan to rely on a lot of entry level deals coming up in the next few years but this is another overpay imo.

Is $5m a big contract these days? With a $90m+ salary cap, $5m is an average player.

I was looking at other teams and it does seem rather big. It seems mid-range for a starter, big for a guy with his limited success. I think if they do something about Grubauer's albatross contract, it'll be pretty good in 2-3 years.
