His wife is from Denver. So I would gather that her wanting to stay also could've played a decent part as well.
Confirmed with Link: Avs Sign LOC to 6-Year Extension (6 x $2.5M AAV)
- Thread starter The Merchant
- Start date
LOC is the type of player who will be worth the contract or will be on LTIR.

IDK that he will be a productive player for the entirety of this contract, but especially with the cap going up 2.5 is not the worst cap number number even if you just have to straight up eat it for a couple of years. Not like we will be contending in 5 years anyways.

Especially if they end up having kids and her parents are in Denver to help out with Logan out of town so often.
Man I had to do a double take when I saw the AAV. This is a hell of a team friendly deal. I really feel like if he put in a solid year, he would have gotten 3.5-4.0M.

I love that LOC is a player that you never hear anyone calling out ever.
Yes, his offense isn't the best but that is known and expected. The dude is a Matt Calvert Jr. They signed with the Avs in the same year and I'd like to think that Calvy played a part in LOC's career but that would be just pure speculation.

Seems like an unnecessary amount of term, but he’s worth the dollar amount.
Identity player in the bottom-6 and he was missed after the injury last season. The 3rd line wasn’t the same after he went down.
Happy to have him locked up. He earned this contract.

I wanted to make some utility knife comparison to JTC, but there is none. I mean JTC was able to play center, but LOC is just a damn defensive specialist. He's not going to put up points, but he's going to eat minutes and make players wish they were playing a different line. He's tenacious in the Calvert sense of the way. Wood can get going like that at times, even Ross looked better when LOC was inserted into that third line. Logan truly was the engine that made it work so I'm extremely pleased we've got him locked up for the rest of his prime at a good rate today and what will be an absolute steal at the end.

It was just a matter of time that when Mikko got back from Finland that this extension was going to get signed...
Toronto and the Leafs would never stand for that. Can’t have Kelowna challenge their claim for the centre of the universe. The battle between the two over it would be fun to watch.

There's always the risk that you have a bad year and end up with basically nothing because nobody wants to commit. Financially speaking I think this was great for LOC to secure his future.

Good surprise to read this morning. Love the deal. When the term becomes bad we will be bad anyways so who cares.
