7.25AAV is an insane steal
I wouldn't call it absurd, its a very good deal though. 1M more than Weegar who is essential the same defenseman. At the end of the day Toews is still a #2, an elite #2 but still a #2. The first 4 years of the deal should be good before we see amy noticeable fall off.Absurd Contract. Good for the Avs
Yup. This will look like 4-5M used to in a few years.Any team who locks up guys today... who either stay at their level or improve even more are going to have value contracts as the cap increases.
Bridge deals to players who are improving and project to be at the top of the line-up assets are a mistake. Pay them little now and pay them a hell of a lot more when the cap grows. It's coming
Toews turns 30 in February. Not too many prime years left. Enough to cover the window of the Avs, which makes this AAV a steal.wtf, how is one of the best defenseman in the world about to be a UFA getting a million less than guys like Sanderson and Power who would still be RFAs for awhile
He's a #2 because #1 is Cale Makar. He's a #1 on 25 other teams in the leagueI wouldn't call it absurd, its a very good deal though. 1M more than Weegar who is essential the same defenseman.
