I think it's 3x1.45, not 3x4.35

It is. Tolvanen needs to fire his agent.

Definitely hasn't done enough to justify this cap hit yet. Needs to take a big next step for this to be good value.

Edit: Never mind, apparently CapFriendly had the total value as the AAV.

Based on the hype over this kid it's a steal.

Based on performance it's an atrocity.

Based on reality, it's the wrong AAV.

Capfriendly forgot to divide by 3.
otherwise a HUGE overpay.

Capfriendly must think the Canes signed Tolvy to an offer sheet.

The total contract value was initially listed as the AAV in error

I voted yes to this. It's going to be a complete steal come the end of next season for the Predators. So much upside to this player.

They should reset the poll, was confused why ppl were hating on it before I read the comments.

Good show me bridge deal. Lets see if he can consistently stay in the lineup as that was what lowered the price.

Nashville's going for a rather interesting retool here. I like a lot of their recent draft picks, and they seem to be going for a mix of vets and youth as a sort of transition. If Askarov pans out as a star goaltender, it wouldn't shock me to see Nashville back as a postseason contender relatively shortly. I also like their swing on Cody Glass.

I was impressed by Tolvanen this year. Having him signed for 3 years x $1.45M and still a RFA at the end of it is great for the Predators.

Now one of, if not the biggest steals of the off-season has 10 people voting it as a bad deal because CapFriendly messed up.

2 years with that low cap hit would have been good for the player. It’s almost like he doesn’t trust in himself.

You don’t trust Saros as a goalie for a contender?
