Players like to winIt feels, in some ways, that the contract market is different for contending teams than it is for bad/bubble teams. Teams like the Canes and Avs seem to have a bit more leeway than other franchises when it comes to contracts (Canes in terms of players like Orlov and Bunting accepting shorter term, Avs in terms of getting some AAV discount).
He was voted 16th best D in the league few months ago on this siteI 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.

Wow respects to him. He could’ve easily gotten $9M anywhere else.
That’s incredible. Good for the Avs. He’s a #1 on pretty much 90% of the teams in the league.
Except Toews actually shows up in the playoffs.I wouldn't call it absurd, its a very good deal though. 1M more than Weegar who is essential the same defenseman.

No he's about as good as Slavin tbhHe'd probably be the #3 guy in Carolina (after Slavin and Pesce), but that's a unique situation. On most other teams he'd be a 1D.

Sanderson and Power are only going to get better and Toews will start to decline.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
This guy will age so well. No part of his game relies on athleticism. Just an incredible brain for hockey. 7.5 for a top pairing defenseman that has chem with the best d in the world. Toews & makar locked up for $17m. Avs fans on cloud 9. LFG!!!!
I imagine Girard is moved before his NTC kicks in this summer.Aves have enough cap space for this?
You think Pesce is better than Toews?
Either this is sarcasm or insanity. Toews and Slavin are basically equal and have been ranked as essentially equal almost universally this offseason.
They got paid for potential and the expectation they will be elite on all those yearswtf, 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
