Confirmed with Link: Avs sign Evan Rodrigues - 1 year 2M AAV

[Pokecheque]

By not overpaying depth.

Impossible to do if you don't draft well.

I don’t see why ERod is a significant upgrade over JTC? Maybe he’s better, but it’s not like JT didn’t have a crucial depth role in us winning the cup last year. Good signing with no real downside but he’s not going to change much about the team and the level we hit.

Maybe it was a flash in the pan for Erod, but JTC has no hope of ever replicating this level of play:

At minimum incredibly hard to do, but yeah. The Avs inability to get cheap depth from the system hurts.

But THIS season will be the one!

Also, this season might be the one we didn't offer four firstrounders for Shane Wright and signed Nathan MacKinnon longtime.

I mean last year definitely seems like a flash in the pan.

Last year was relatively similar.

Same with the year prior.

Not saying it’s a bad signing or anything but I think some of the expectations are a little out of whack for Erod. He brings solid depth no doubt, but 40/50pts is pushing it imo.

 

[Avs_19]

Avs are the defending champs and just added a capable depth player who'll help them this season. That's all that matters to me. Great move.

 

[Frobbo]

I like the Manson contract because he gives them something they otherwise don't have. Their other d"s aren't physical. Somebody has to make the other team keep their heads up. He also showed a great feel for when to jump up in the play during the playoffs. He has the wheels to do so and was very effective. That's an unusual combination of skills.

Apparently he turned down a 10.5M/3 years contract at the start of FA,

Apparently who turned it down? I didn't follow who you were referring to.

Erod.

 

[jfc64]

Please don’t spell Rodrigues with a z ever again.

He’s Portuguese, not Spanish.

We are SORRY! (dancing samba here)

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Erod.

Seriously? The dude turned down 31.5M guaranteed? I find that hard to believe.

Maybe the thread title could answer your question ...

Drunk much? Pretty sure that means 3 years, 10.5mil in total. Not your day today, huh?

Yeah, sorry. Chemo brain and reaction to treatments are taking a toll this week aparently.

 

[Raucherhusten]

Sorry to hear that. Hope you get better soon.

 

[henchman21]

If I was ERod, I'd be firing my agent. He's pretty unlikely to get 8.5m for the next two years, even if he produces well.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Please don’t spell Rodrigues with a z ever again.

He’s Portuguese, not Spanish.

Just to be safe, I will only refer to him as Evan from now on.

He actually fired his agent at the beginning of free agency. It could be related to this.

Didn't know that, but yeah I bet it would be. Probably was told hold out for 4-4.5m and it never came through.

Yep



Sucks for him because he didn't make a lot of money in his career.

He turned down 3 years at 10.5mill AAV?!?!

Probably just depends on where he plays in the lineup and how much time he sees in the top-6.

 

[Balthazar]

There's no doubt that the same thing happened to Klingberg BTW. Fired his agent at the beginning of free agency and ended up signing a one year deal weeks later. Far from ideal when you're 30.

Now his next contract will start at age 31, term and AAV will take a big hit.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Wonder if it was Anahiem. That Vatrano contract is very similar.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Like I said I like the signing and thinks he adds much needed depth to the middle 6. I just think people shouldn't expect him to be a 2C for us.
