Confirmed with Link: Igor extension 8 x 11.5

[Hire Sather]

This market is too big to have nice things at decent price.

It's actually becoming a negative to have a goalie like Igor

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

No goalie shoud be paid that much. Not even the best goalie in the world. I'm sorry , but I think this is a bad move for the franchise.

 

[mas0764]

Team just doesn't have the balls to let a guy walk

Rather get saddles into a bad deal

Always.

Jusse at $7.75m is like a 300% better value.

 

[Gluten Free Breadman]

Getting rid of a few aging country club boys isnt rebuilding the whole team.


Agreed.

Yes we agree there will not be a full rebuild.

I'll say it again.

This contract signifies that we are not doing a full rebuild like how some people (not you) wanted.

 

[bl02]

Isn’t Igor at 11.5 better than Trouba at 8?

I’m happy I will continue to watch elite goaltending in the olayoffs

In a normal universe if Trouba is worth 8 than Igor is worth around 22 million per.
Lets be honest Trouba is worth 2 million max. One thing he was good at he can't even do anymore. He is too slow to react/skate to hit anyone.

 

[Gluten Free Breadman]

Wonder if Igor was only willing to sign for less than 12 million if Trouba was gone.

This franchise will never do a full rebuild -- especially under Dolan ownership.

 

[bl02]

What is being fully rebuilt anyway? You've got a new younger core of players. Lafreniere is 22. Fox is 26. Igor is 27. Schneider is 22. More youth is on the way.

You've got young players who have elevated their game in the postseason on the roster right now. This team needs young centers and maybe another young LHD that's NHL ready.

The guys 30+ are on the outs. You can probably keep 2 of them. I'd keep Trocheck and Kreider, but you most likely can't move Mika unless he wants out, so Vinny is probably moved when his NMC becomes a M-NTC.

Seriously. People wanna rebuild? It's gonna take 3-5 years minimum to do that the right way. Guys like Fox/Igor prime years will be wasted.
Gonna have to develop some of the youth we already have. Guys like Gabe and Berard can become very very good players.

Full rebuilds aint pretty. Take a quick look around the league. There's not 10 competitive teams.

Just based on cap, this had to happen.

 

[Levitate]

The optimistic part of me says "maybe this will settle igor down and he'll get back on track"
the negative part says "too much for a goalie that can't save a team that doesn't play defense"

 

[Sayba]

Colorado has 3 of the biggest stars in the world but zero chance at a Cup because they can't get the goalie figured out. Of all the fair criticism of Igor, you can never say he doesnt perform his best in the big games.

Yeah but all a team like that needs to win is an above average goalie and they have a chance. A great goalie with an average team has no chance.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Igor would be unbeatable behind a team that knew how to play hockey properly.


Praying to Jupiter that Drury still has a lot more plans to shake up this roster

No lies detected

 

[Jack Hanson]

Im glad we kept Igor, though think 11.5mm is too high. Happy to be rid of Trouba and honestly at least nailing down Igor for the long haul brings some steadiness to a churning and unsteady environment. Good for the locker room. The 8 mil/yr saved on Trouba on his remainder of contract balance of this season and next season helps pay for it.

 

[Machinehead]

I don't think this team needs a full rebuild right now, but they need to continue removing scum from the pipes, and definitely not buy this deadline if they don't start playing better.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

They won a cup with like the worst goalie in NHL history.

 

[Machinehead]

They won a cup with like the worst goalie in NHL history.

And it wasn't a case where like, yeah Murray and Bennington are f***ing garbage, but they were hot at the time.

The Avs were actively getting bad goaltending during the tournament.

 

[Greg02]

If Shesterkin is the team's bad contract, I guess I can live with that. But this means that Mika can't be it.

 

[McRanger92]

Cant do it now that they had to pay everyone. We're not the only team that has that problem.

 

[Chytilmania]

I know cap is going up but max I would have done is 10. I have been very pro Igor but I don’t see us getting over the hump with a big goalie contract.

We’re taking 6 of Trouba’s 8 and giving it to a franchise goalie

 

[McRanger92]

If Shesterkin is the team's bad contract, I guess I can live with that. But this means that Mika can't be it.

Him and Kreider are next. Nothing else makes sense. I'd love to see Drury go full Neil Smith.

Trade Perreault for a 38 year old center and one of Messier's friends?

 

[CTTribe73]

Yeah, right? The ultimate in self-preservation.

Wonder if Igor was only willing to sign for less than 12 million if Trouba was gone.
