I like it.. let him walk after those 2 years and use that cap elsewhere
Exactly

He didn't mess up in the slightest. Burakovsky probably won't be protected as well, they can leave him exposed knowing he only has one more year and his salary is higher than his cap hit. You're making a mountain out of a molehill.Meh. I am not sure about Burkie one way or the other. He is crazy talented afterall. I'd very much rather given him another year to prove his worth one way or the other and then made the determination about his future with the Avs instead of giving him a path straight to UFA in 2 years now...
I'd also very much rather have locked up him longterm than Hall for example..
I still think Sakic has messed up here. Either 1 or 3 years would have been perfectly fine. 2 years is bad for us even if it might save us 1m or so in capspace over the next 2 years. But odds are we won't make great use of that 1M extra anyways so I am disappointed with this deal...
Straight to UFA.
Not a fan of this at all.
Not quite sure what Sakic was thinking here.
1 or 3 years would have been fine by me but 2?
Welp...

He’s one year from UFA. He’s played 6 seasons.
Yeah, that too. This will be his 7th year of service. People getting bent out of shape for no damn reason.He’s one year from UFA. He’s played 6 seasons.
Seems a bit high and short term no?

Are you serious?
Why wouldn't we protect him? Are you one of the guys having delusions about signing Hall or where does this come from?
He is our 4th or 5th best forward at the very least.
Of course you protect him...
How about you take a chill pill? They can protect him, or not. Either way I see a hard time Seattle picking a guy one year away from UFA.
Kadri >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Burakovsky.
I think this deal is perfect.. IMO if he signed a longer deal and/or more money, fans would be pissed off... I hate seeing teams hand out long term deals like candy to some players and it become regretful down the road.
I think Bura is a good player and I do like him but I always feel he is one of those guys that will have a good season, then a average season, then a pretty good season etc etc... last year was pretty much his first impressive season so he still needs to prove himself.
Maybe this bites Avs in the ass in 2 years or maybe it's a blessing they only gave him a 2 year deal... regardless, Avs have alot of other top notch pieces on their team so I dont think it will matter much if they lose him to UFA in a couple years
Bit expencive?
