Confirmed Signing with Link: [SEA] G Joey Daccord signs extension with the Kraken (5 years, $5M AAV)

[Romang67]

When your measuring stick is Grubauer, every goalie will seem worth $5M.

 

[The Marquis]

As a Kraken fan I’m happy with this. He’s our best goalie.

 

[The Marquis]

This has the potential to be a very bad contract.

The bad contract is Grubauers.

 

[Zbynek]

Like the guy. But insane contract

 

[Bleedred]

As a Kraken fan I’m happy with this. He’s our best goalie.

Now if only Disco Dan and Ron Francis could figure that out.

The bad contract is Grubauers.

I'm somewhat surprised they didn't buy him out this past summer. I've gotta think the playoff berth the year before (which had nothing to do with Grubauer) may have bought him another year. Maybe even particularly because he won a playoff round against the defending cup champions.

I can't see him back next year, unless it's in an LTIR role. Then again, if he has a good season (which I would be convinced is nothing more than an up year/one off renaissance comeback year) maybe they try and get one more year of out of him.

I just don't like risky contracts with a goalie. To a Center, Defenseman etc, I can understand it. I guess my thoughts are getting outdated with Swayman's deal. It's just a massive risk in the headcase category to make.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Not going to lie my stupid ass thought Daccord was the goalie Florida waived and that Seattle claimed him and gave him this contract to really destroy the Islanders stupidity from when they claimed Brian Strait and then gave him a 3 year extension.

 

[Breakers]

Arizona State STAND UP!

The Kraken don't need to buy out Grubauer yet because of Daccord's current contract. Next year though, unless he really shows up this year (like .910 or better) and the Kraken do exceptionally better than expected, Francis would be nuts not to consider the buyout. 10.9 tied up in goalies? NO THANKS.

 

[Laphroaig]

I was very upset when Ottawa didn't protect Daccord in the expansion draft. I thought he was our future. I predict that he'll be worth every penny of this contract and much more.

Goalie market is f***ed rn lol

Canucks trio of goalies combined make about half of Krakens duo
Let that sink in

This is risky coming off of one big season, with that said 5M is like minimum wage for an average starting goalie.

Daccord is a pending UFA and prior to getting hurt last year was a Vezina candidate. He is also a player who was a late bloomer but improved at every level.

This contract should but the Ullmark one in perspective and help people understand where the market is for goalies.

Daccord qas a Vezina candidate?? Since when?

 

[Sensatauro]

Mo

Is this the new Cal Petersen?

St definitely not. This guy's a gamer. Contracts gonna look like a steal soon. Really hate Ottawa gave up this guy both at the time and today.

Vezina candidate is probably strong but he was like 3rd in the NHL in goals saved above expected as late as February of last season and ended the season tied for 3rd in SV% with Swayman. Team success and wins certainly kept him out of the actual Vezina convo but his numbers were very strong. And not in a part time role either - in 50 starts.

People seem to be holding his late development against him but sometimes guy just need a little longer to bake and even more than that - an opportunity. Especially goalies. He’s just as likely if not more so to be another Kuemper - who broke out as an NHL starter in his age 28/29 season and then had a very good run in net as a top tier starter - than he is to be another Cal Petersen. I mean, trust the Sens fans in this thread - they knew he was a very good goalie prospect well before he actually broke out. There was legit heartburn that management left him exposed in the expansion draft, for good reason.

As a Kraken fan, I love this signing. If the naysayers had watched us suffer through Grubauer for three years and counting, they would love it, too.

He finished tied for fourth in save percentage among goalies who played 41 games or more. Only 0.02 behind Demko, who finished second.

Calling him a Vezina contender may not have been factual, because the way voting works, no one is voting for a no name goalie on a non-playoff team outside of their local market, unless they have a historical season. It's fair to say that he was one of the best goalies in the league last year. Top 5 statistical (both traditional and advanced) goalie performance in the league, vs Vezina contender is semantics. Should have been a Vezina contender may have been a better way to word it.

Little bro over here bigchesting about two AHL goalies and the rotting corpse of Thatcher Demko like his team's got something

At least Devils fans had the good sense not to bump their gums when Schmid had a couple good playoff games two years ago. I'm sure Silovs will be different though lmao

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Wow dude is taking a beating in this thread

Unpopular opinon--this will be a borderline bargain by 2026. Daccord is for real.

 

[D Wakaluk]

Yeah someone was pissed watching Gru last night.

Good for Joey. Hope he can keep it up

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

LOL $5M for a journeyman backup. Grubauer probably feels like crap right now because he doesn't make much more than Joey now.

 

[bov]

Hope it works out but that is one of the most shocking contracts in recent memory.

Yeah Demko will be back and Silovs almost beat the Oilers in playoffs but keep coping. One of Canucks strength is goaltending.

 

[Fuhrious]

“Keep coping” he says, when his team has had one good season in the last 40 years but still didn’t win anything

 

[Zirakzigil]

Solid contract. Thats a lot of cap locked into 2 goalies though.

 

[kihei]

Hope it works out but that is one of the most shocking contracts in recent memory.

It's not in Seattle.

 

[Bubbles]

Someone needs to take the keys away from Francis

I don't think I've liked any of his moves at all. The Bjorkstrand move is the only one I can think that was good.

His free agents are generally a mess.

The Daccord contract is perfectly fine...in a vacuum. But you take into account the Gru contract that's terrible for 2 rather middling goalies. You might as well go with a free agent from Europe or a journeyman and spend the cap elsewhere.
