Confirmed with Link: Avs re-sign F Jonathan Drouin ($2.5m x 1y)

[Foppa2118]

Had a feeling Drouin would prefer to come back on another cheap one year than play somewhere else.

This was by far the most fun he's had playing hockey in his pro career, and he clearly places a high priority on his mental health.

Props to Jo for leaving money on the table again. Hope he gets a long term next summer. With the cap crunch, I can see the Avs not re-signing Mikko, and ear marking some of his money for Drouin.

Canadian teams + Detroit/Buffalo aka the toilet bowls.

Standard.

I feel Montreal has to be on there at least three times just in case.

Toilet Bowl sounds like a play on words for Detroit/Buffalo.

They should play a game against each other every January and call it that.

Here's the dilemma: the best place for a game called "The Toilet Bowl" would be in Flushing, NY.

Considering the dollars and term Drouin gave up to come back, I'm mildly surprised it's not a full NMC clause for the season

Worst part of all this is having to listen to Walsh shill him daily for another year.

A real live teammate of defense man Sam, signed on the first of July!

2.5M.

I'm still smiling today. Drouin taking a massive discount last season and another big discount this season in order to remain an Avalanche has him rocketing up my all-time favorite list. He loves being an Av.

80 point season in coming!

I wonder if cmac and Drou have a handshake deal to extend him after this season if he repeats or does better. Also what does that contract look like?
