AAV?

 

[Gumballhead]

Wow.

 

[Mighty Makar]

AAV?

Under $5M would be cool.

 

[CharlesPuck]

Bob money

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

AAV?

Haven't seen that yet

 

[Hennessy]

That was quick. Though I assume they did this as a preventive measure before his stock exploded playing on a loaded team like Colorado.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

5 years of Blackwood! Sweet.

[UnkleKraker]

5 years of capable (or better) goaltending? Unpossible.

 

[Tralfamadore]

Nice to see them commit longish term on a goalie. Hopefully it works out. No idea what the AAV could be.

 

[BobRossColton]

Changing guess to just under 5, 5x4.9

I didn't think it's gonna be under 5 becuase he's already making like 4.7

Edit 5.25 is great

 

[BrickNHL]

Wow

Hard to have an opinion until we get the AAV but I do like him a lot so hopefully it’s reasonable so I can be happy lol

Changing guess to just under 5, 5x4.9

Hope springs eternal 4.5M lol

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

I'm guessing 5x$5M

It's only been a few games but he's clearly more talented then anyone else we've used since Varly. Shores up the goaltending long term. For the rest of our window for certain.


I am curious what this means for Nabokov. Also wondering if it isn't a coincidence this was announced immediately after Nabokov has seemingly committed to North America next year.

 

[BrickNHL]

Ooof 5.25 is a little high but not the end of the world

 

[Mighty Makar]

I’m guessing $5.25M.

 

[Forceberg]

0.25m too much.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

250k overpaid


Nah but for real this is fine IMO. Especially if the cap goes up to like $96M bext year this will be completely fine.

 

[Ceremony]

Seems like a lot but I'd rather spend 5.25 on a starter than 3.5, if the past few years are anything to go by. Hopefully he lasts.

 

[Hennessy]

I was thinking 5x5 would be a steal.
5.25 is very nice.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Pretty much the exact deal I have been speculating on since we acquired him. The standard $250k "overpay" lol

I thought 5x5=25 D'Accord deal was fair.

5.25x5=26.25m is fine.

 

[CobraAcesS]

Ok fine, ill like take that contract for a consistent Vezina candidate. He'll never win though, because if it weren't for the Avs D.
