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.

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

This has the potential to be a very bad contract.

The bad contract is Grubauers.

Like the guy. But insane contract

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 I guess my thoughts are getting outdated with Swayman's deal.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.

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.

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.

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.
