Solid AHL starter, but why is he earning anything above 1M? Overpaid

I think this is $50,000 too much. at $1,150,000 they can bury the whole contract in the AHL. If he ends up being the third-stringer, they're going to have $50,000 against the cap.

Look at his playoff numbers. Dude had a big role in the Firebird's run. I think they gave him this contract with the expectation that he would be the main club's backup next year.

Honestly that's not a bad shout.

I love that the Kraken are bringing Joey back. Daccord was fantastic in the Firebirds' run to the Calder Cup final and played well in limited NHL action down the stretch. He's clearly ready to step up into a full-time NHL role. With this sort of deal, I expect him to have the inside track on the backup goalie spot behind Grubauer next season.

Does this mean Grubauer or Driedger is not coming back? Guess Jones is not.

Probably so no one will snatch him off waivers. Kings would have been all over this if they tried to send him down in October, but at $1.2M, he's not affordable for them.

This is a great signing. Daccord is going to be an NHL goalie. Teams will regret not claiming him last year on waivers.

I suspect he is pencilled in for the #2 NHL job. If he is beat out by Driedger, this extension is very close to the buried cap hit rate. Meaning, it will be of almost no consequence to bury him. Two years at 1-way money also lowers the chance of another team claiming him. Which could give Seattle some great goalie depth if Driedger bounces back and they are forced to send Daccord to the AHL.

The other factor is that if this contract doesn't work out, whatever - bury him next year. If things do work out this season and he breaks out as a legitimate NHL goalie over 30+ games, not only do they not have to worry about paying him more next year, he becomes a very valuable trade asset because of being cost controlled for an additional year at such a low cap hit. It ensures that even if they cannot keep him, they can get an asset for him.
