Thread: Colorado Avalanche signed Valeri Nichushkin (8 Years / $6,125,000 AAV)
A lot of people commenting on this thread don't seem to understand that the player has to accept the contract, too. "I only would have given him 5 or 6 years". "Overpay by a million on AAV". Okay, cool. In either case you don't sign him, he walks to free agency and gets a massive deal somewhere else. You then end up with a bit more cap space that you can either spend on a different UFA who isn't as good as Val who will also get more money/term than you're comfortable with, you trade for a player like Val and forfeit a bunch of assets on top of absorbing the contract, or you stick to your guns on your eval and have J.T. Compher playing top 6 minutes, wasting MacKinnon's last cheap season, because every free agent gets a bigger contract than you're willing to pay.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ArakinSkywalker</b></div><div>I like the addition of athanasiou, thats a new one i haven't seen, we might even be able to get him cheaper than that. One thing i would like changed though is the murray deal. 2mil is awfully expensive for him to be a healthy scratch for half the season again. I'd rather let him walk and sign manson for ~3.5 and have him play top 4</div></div>

Yeah I have no idea what the market will be like for Murray. He was injured half the season and then scratched throughout the playoffs. I gave him the same contract as last year for simplicity, but could definitely see him sign for less. Wouldn't hate having a better alternative there, but I don't know if it'll be Manson. I'd be comfortable paying him 4M, but not for the number of years he's going to be offered elsewhere.
