Confirmed with Link: Mittelstadt re-signed (3 years, $5.75M AAV)

I still wish 4 years would've happened. 2 RFA and 2 UFA.

IMO 5 years was the real sweet spot, but even 4 would be better than this 3 year deal for sure. Is what it is now though.

 

[UnkleKraker]

Between cap crunch, upcoming contracts, and Nuke/Landy uncertainty I totally get this contract.

No doubt his agent understood his impact at 5 on 5. Looking at his point totals, the 57 points don't jump off the page, but 48 even strength points is the key. That puts him ahead of guys like Clayton Keller, Jordan Kyrou, and Nick Suzuki. Also right behind Barkov and Hischier.

Get this guy some legit powerplay time and he's pushing 70 points.

Once again, 3 years was way too short, especially at that AAV. Now he's going to worth 8.5M+ and we'll have to let him walk in his prime and go back to no 2C.

I'll repeat 4 years would've been ideal, if we couldn't afford the full long term

5 was best, 4 would have been acceptable. The model at the time had 3, 4 or 5 years at the same ~5.75M AAV.

I think we could've made 5x6

You know there's 2 sides negotiating right? Obviously Mitts wasn't willing to sign for that little for any longer than 3 years. You think the Avs would have turned down extra years at the same money if that was an option?

Exactly.

Just pay the man when his current deal is up. Cap will be over 100M when we have to re-sign him.

Colton will be off the books and will sign with another team for 10 million after winning a multiple rocket Richard trophies.

Woods contract will be much more tradeable/buyout friendly in 3 years as well.

Meh, I’d tend to agree but hardly something to worry about now.

Odds are we aren’t even a true contender in 3 years and just either let him walk or re-sign him with a much higher salary cap in place.

We have 3 runs with him at a bargain price. Let’s enjoy it.

I said this before, but I think we win one more cup in 2027 with this core and that’s it, which I believe is the last year of Mitts contract, so whatever happens after that is somewhat irrelevant
