Funny but its almost a rule of thumb when 50pts guys get 5M$ and 90pts guys get 9M$. Roughly.

If there is a guy that can keep the Avs' window open for longer it's Sakic. He has shown, with the help of McFarland I'm sure, that he can manage the cap very well and cap management is a huge part of keeping a window open longer. The current negotiations with Landy are a testament that Sakic not only wants to win a Cup but that he also wants to remain a contender for as long a she can. I know some here are all about "go all-in now" and worry about the future later but I'm conflicted on that. On one hand you can increase your odds to winning this year but you really screw yourself for the years after or on the other hand you can instead increase the number of shots you get at the can. After all going all-in doesn't assure you a Cup. In the end as I said it only increases your odds. Keeping in my that a lot need to go right to win a Cup I tend to prefer having more kicks at the can. I think if a GM is smart he can be somewhere in the middle and I think that is where Sakic is. Future will tell.

I knew it would get done eventually one way or another but damn it’s so nice to just get this one over with early and no drama. Despite the 5 RFA years, which does give the Avs some leverage, Cale could have really forced the issue in some ways. I also can’t believe no signing bonus (except for 1M the final year which lol how do you arrive at that decision). Cale doesn’t even get any money until the season starts and the checks rolling in.

I think 7x 9.75 would've been great. Buy a house and a Tesla would be first order of business..

True, just get the full S3XY cyber truck speedster line.You don’t need 9.75M for a Tesla

I wonder if Makar will splurge a little bit and get two slurpees this time or maybe a slurpee and a pack of m&m's. Only the peanut ones though because those are the best ones.

Guys, he's from Calgary. He's going to get a Raptor or some **** like that, assuming he doesn't have one already. Half that city probably has a pick-up.

I drove through Edmonton a few years ago and I'm pretty sure I was the only one in the whole city driving a sedan. It was pick-up trucks only.

Friedman said on the podcast just now that he thinks an 8 year deal certainly would have been over 10M and that “he heard” (and put a lot of emphasis on not knowing for sure) that even a 3 year bridge would have been at least 8.
Sounds like the contract they went with was best case.

Sounds about right.
Let us know if he has any other Avs/Landeskog related nuggets

If that’s the case, Sakic made a great decision. Best option by far

This is what I was talking about with him being worth the Matthews deal and why this is such a good contract for the Avs.
This kind of a difference maker hasn’t come off an ELC in a long time.
The fact that his first two years came in shortened seasons played to the Avs advantage. That and the fact his agents didn’t hold the Avs hostage and make this a long drawn out negotiation.
This is the Matthews contract for D.
Rightfully more than any recent RFA comp (Heskainen or Chabot). And in line with the most recent marquee UFA contract (Jones and Pietrangelo). And it takes Makar right to UFA.
Difference is the best F can command 11m while the best D are coming in around 9m.
Aves fans need to think twice now before laughing at the Matthews contract.
