Too much for Jost based on his current play but I also don't care enough to complain about it. Worst part of this deal is that henchman was right about what it might take to sign him.
I think just about everyone on this board have him on the opening night roster. There are about 8-10 bodies that could be the 4th line and LOC, Maltzev and Helm are IMO head and shoulders above the Sherwood/Kaut/Bowers/Matteu/Ranta/etc bodies.I think he'll break the lineup at some point.. he's got the grit and size the Avs need.. I just left him off because I don't think he'll in the lineup to begin the season. I do like him more than most Avalanche fans though
Jost still could have some offensive upside. Its not like he could get any worse. This is a great deal. If Jost gets to centre JTC I could see them being an elite third line duo that each rings up 40 points.
Somehow he’s still a RFA after this contract.
Y'all are nuts
Jost was a prototypical bottom 6 forward last year, every bit worth protecting in expansion, and we're balking at a 2/$2 contract
Glad he's back, excited to see him keep improving, he's found the niche he needed to and I think he's a great and underrated piece of this team
Excited? You get excited very easily.
That’s the beauty of 3/4th lines that it’s always in question.I think just about everyone on this board have him on the opening night roster.

Not an excuse. To come up with only three NHL regulars in FOUR drafts from 2014-2017 is just horrible no matter how you cut it. You can argue that Timmins is an NHL regular but the moment the Avs cut bait on Kuemper next year, the value he brought in via trade is gone.
Bottom line, the drafting on this club has been sub-par for way, way too long, and they've only made very cursory moves to try and fix that.
I didn't think Joe would bend for more than $1.5-1.75M, but he hasn't been able to get his usual good value this off season.
Everyone has signed at market value so far this offseason: Makar, Landy and Jost. Grubi is gone because he wanted market value as well.
There was no discount so I don't expect Mack to take one either.
1 is signed for 6 years, and 1 is signed for 2 years, letting us still have flexibility to figure out the supporting cast after mac gets his raise.Avs have $4.43m in capspace right now. You easily could have signed Danault at $5.5m x 6 instead of Jost ($2m) and still had $900k left over in capspace.

One is an elite top 6 C with league-leading possession metrics who just took his team to the cup finals.1 is signed for 6 years, and 1 is signed for 2 years, letting us still have flexibility to figure out the supporting cast after mac gets his raise.
With a full lineup it's $3.5m yes.I thought it was $3.5M?
