Hell yes

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Good deal. Health is a concern but he has put up some great numbers in the NHL. A real solid backup who can double as a 1B if needed nicely

 

[EXTRAS]

Guy has a save percentage over 920 for his career

If he stays healthy this is a super great deal

 

[Just a Fan]

Dam good signing.

 

[Richard88]

Great contract.

This season his stats are solid (min. 700mins).

10-3-1
0.920 sv% (11th)
2.46 GAA (13th)
4.94 GSAA (18th)
0.835 HDSV% (16th)

Over the last 3 years his stats are also really solid:

31-12-5
0.922 sv% (5th)
2.46 GAA (10th)
18.8 GSAA (12th)
0.816 HDSV% (38th)

It has to be said that he does get favourable starts, with only 2 of his starts this season coming against teams currently in playoff positions, but he does get the job done and has great stats when he plays which is all you can ask for.

 

[Gurglesons]

Solid deal if he stays healthy.

I’m just here waiting for people to say it’s a sign & trade for Flower

I was thinking to toronto for picks/prospects to replace what you guys are gonna lose going after guys on the TDL

 

[PROUD PAPA]

That's an alright deal. He does get mostly gravy for opponents but i've seen him play really well when called upon so he would probably be able to handle things if they needed him to fill in as a starter.

 

[izzy]

Really like this

 

[Mrfenn92]

Good solid deal for the avs. Fella just needs to stay healthy.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Hell of a signing. Is he drastically worse/less proven than Campbell? I do prefer Campbell, like him a lot as a 1B at least, and he seems to have stayed mostly healthy in his career, so not dumping on him at all.... moreso just being complementary to Francouz

Assuming Campbell gets out of his funk, he's definitely worse than Campbell. Francouz is an above-average backup that likes Denver and fits in well with the team.

No complaints. If he stays healthy it’s a perfect deal

Nah sorry, you’re gonna have to look elsewhere to fix that black hole between the pipes.

Very happy to have Frankie back for another 2 seasons. Great find a couple years ago.

Now do Nuke!

 

[Patagonia]

Good short deal. Some risk due to being injury prone. If he stays healthy this could be a steal.

Yeah, Nuke should be the 1st priority of those big four UFA's on our team. Kuemper a clear 2nd. Completely ok with replacing Kadri and Bura with someone llike Copp and "some winger".

Other than his year off surgery and ankle sprain, has he really been that injury prone?

[Reparlana]

Very happy with this!!

 

[Connor McConnor]

Makes complete sense given the timeline for Annunen.

 

[inthe6ix]

Frickin awesome deal

Congrats Avs

 

[innitfam]

Do Avs fans think they'll be able to re-sign Kuemper too?

Francouz for 2 years at 2M is great value.
