Signing Tavares for 4-5 doesn’t seem to bad now eh
How in the world can you give a player 7.5m aav after that player completely disappeared in the playoffs.
He stunk when they needed him the most, but the reason the stars beat the Avs was mainly because Makar didn't show up. He's a big reason why they lost game 7 when he broke his stick which caused a penalty actually
Signing Nelson and stuck with Charlie Coyle (and the tuba player that follows him) 🤔 Never seen a team try to get way slower
After watching Nelson's contract, Don Waddell hit it out of the park with Sean Monahan signing from last off season
Dont want to pay Rantanen but this guy what is going on in avs front office
As an Avs fan I’m pretty pleased with a second line of Landeskog-Nelson-Nichushkin. You finally get stability at that 2C position. I assume the Avs will be active with trades this off season
BORK BORK BORK!
So no shot tavares signs for less then this right? Unless they go full Tampa and give Tavares 3.75×6. Same amount of money. Twice the term.
The sunk cost fallacy is real
Tavares contract has nothing to do with market value , it is soley on what leafs are willing to pay without getting lynched by the fans when they lose again , 5 mil or under is still what needs to happen jor Tavares , or leave
🤣🤣🤣 that Montreal photo
Avs will be dangerous next season for sure….. they already were.
Avalanche bet that 2 centers (Nelson/Coyle) for the price of one winger (Rantanen) was worth the trade off. Time will tell if that pays off.
Duchene and his agent love this signing.
Reminder that rantanen wasnt going to sign with the Avs for the under 12 mil he signed at dallas once he was fueled by spite. He wanted no less than 14 mil. Thats why he got traded. It was, give him 14 mil or he walks for nothing. So this signing really has nothing to do with Rantanen or some percieved failing there.
Also reminder that next years 7.5 is this year's 6. Will be the year after's 5. People got way too used to the flat cap and cant seem to help but react emotionally to the numbers this season. Reminder that the 2c free agency market is really pretty tight this year and there are a LOT of teams looking to fill that hole. Now that this deal is signed, wait till you see what the other 2Cs on the open market go for this year and see if you feel like this was such an overpay then.
Nelson is really 35. His birthday is in October. Hence, Brocktober…that's a nice contract for him.
I don’t know what everyone’s going on about, if anything 2.5 per year seems like a bit of a bargain
I think there are two factors with Brock Nelson's playoff performance: 1) New team. He was traded at the deadline to a very different style team. 2) Ottinger. Ottinger was a wall for everyone in the first couple rounds.
Drew killed it with the editing on this one
Set the Florida contract for Bennett
Fries. Cheese Curds. Gravy. Poutine is the food of champions.Shoutout to Joseph DeBenedictis.
I think the deal is good. People love to dog on the mikko deal, but guess what, the stars got a taste of what it’s like to have him on your team. He’ll show up and be amazing for a handful of games, then suddenly vanish. I would much rather have a package deal of players like, Nelson, Coyle, Necas, and Drury, than to pay all that money for ONE guy who has shown inconsistency. Trust me I love mikko a lot, but not 12-14 million enough.
Brock is super slowed down. It might hurt the transition game the Avs are known for. That fast paced push of play.
Also, shout-out to Producer Drew for apparently being independently wealthy 😂
As an avs fan this is an overpay. I dig the dude but 7.5?! They let Naz walk for around that much. Im writing this Steve just brought that up 😆
Good luck Brock. We will miss Brockober. You will be an Isles favorite forever.
I wouldn't have signed him, but he's a good player, he scores points but does he have an edge to his game, No. He's a cruiser, but a talented one.
Dammmmmmmm iiiiittttttt!!!!! THAT is who I wanted the leafs to push for in July
Wait 7.5 per season! I thought it was 7.5 over 3 years.
I still miss Mikko 😔
Nice instead of signing Rantanen for 12 million they decide to overpay Nelson for 7.5. So all Rantanen was worth apparently was Brock Nelson and 4.5 million in cap space.
Hope he ages well!
Holy Captain Grey Beard!
IT may be 10 years before I get over the Rantanaan trade. I'm so angry. Necas played so well with the Av's but who's going to take a deal to play with anyone? Except Rantanaan!!! grrrrrrr
Steve 45 years old???
I thought for a second that Nelson took one hell of a discount!. It should be written as 3yr/$22.5M deal, no?
every single ufa 2c is 32 ish to 35 right now lol so not like theres a ton of options and also brock getting the camp and preseason in and full season will help alot . number could of been 5 mil with some money defered but oh well
