BrooksBurner Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Mind boggling move by Colorado. Gave pick 37 in this year's draft just so they could get this guy's rights and overpay the fuck out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave pick 37 in this year's draft just so they could get this guy's rights and overpay the fuck out of him. He's not really overpaid, though. This is a Goodrow-like scenario. He'll be 27 to start the season, so they were estaring down the barrel of free agency. That said, he's a career 0.44 P/GP player who's a year removed from 22 goals and 39 points. He had 16 and 32 last season. I guess it's a tad rich, maybe, but he's probably being paid commiserate to what he brings. It might even be cheaper than had he gotten to free agency.

Valriera Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 They’re also buying ufa years after cap goes up, it’s a good bet on the player even though for this year I agree it’s too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what does what COL gave up to get him have anything to do with what they paid him? He didn't force a trade, like Trouba. What's Sakic supposed to say? "Well, Ross, we're not going to pay you what you're worth because we gave your old team a high pick to get you". One deal was with the team, the other is with the player. They have nothing to do with each other unless the player forced the trade to the team. Then you can leverage that a little. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
