higgyfan Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 He's a beauty alright. A shining example of the 'late bloomer' ending up on the perfect team. Quote

He does look happier in an Avs uniform, though. 6 1 Quote

Gotta credit Sakic and the Avs for that, Lou gave up on him too quickly, once upon a time folks used to lambast Sakic as a mediocre GM Funny how things work out Quote

Um .... we just beat the Stanley Cup favorites (according to 50% of the SN writers) 8-1 so I'm pretty sure that makes us the favorites to win the cup now. That's how that works right, right?! 1 Quote

Jess Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 That sounds like an absolute steal. He's probably worth $9M and maybe even more if you believe he's good even without Makar. He wants to win. Kudos to him for taking a massive discount over such a long deal. I regularly have him in my top 10 Norris rankings. Quote
Warhippy Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 This is what I'd love to see from players like Petey, Hronek and with Demko. leave a million or two on the table. Create a contender by taking a little less. 1 Quote

Ultimately they picked Pelech over Toews, who is also a great defenseman, but didn't realize that Toews had another gear offensively. Quote
aGENT Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 That's a solid contender bargain, easily could have got another $1m+ on the open market. Quote

It would have been great if the Canucks could have signed Toews at this number. Colorado did well to lock him up a year before he was due for free agency and before the cap goes up. Quote
oregon.duck Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 This dude is about as best a solid #1 defenseman as you can get. Amazing on both ends of the ice. This is a CRAZY bargain. Holy Jesus Quote
