Confirmed with Link: Toews signed to 7 year deal (7.25AAV)

[AllAboutAvs]

There is certainly at least one GM out there that would have given him 9M.

 

[Bender]

Guys, c'mon - this is obviously fake news! He's never going to sign for less than $9M per year!!! It's never going to happen... give you heads a collective shake!!!

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Baugh had some good quotes in his article on the extension as well.


It's pretty clear Toews is one of those examples of guys who actually does value winnings and family considerations more than just the money.


I'd say he took anywhere from $1.5-2.5M less per year compared to what he would have gotten on the open market.

 

[missionAvs]

Devon Toews is a bonefide #2 which is why he couldn't command Darnell Nurse money.

If your wife and kids enjoy the Colorado River what good is another $1 million after tax a year to live in Winnipeg or something.

Half the league would’ve offered that. GMs can’t help themselves.

Now, I'm not an advanced stat expert by any means, but I believe this is good, right?



I admit, when I first saw this earlier this morning, I thought Dom was signaling a touchdown, then I realized he was laughing. lol

is that saying his value is 7.3?

 

[niwotsblessing]

That's interesting. I thought his fallback plan would have been going back to the Isles. He seemed to love it in Long Island, and spoke very highly about living and raising a family there when he was first traded.

Colorado >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lawn Guyland.

Trust me, I grew up in the latter.

 

[The Moops]

Model says his value is 10.1

 

[Freudian]

He gave up money but also gave up some PP time he would have gotten elsewhere. Says something about where his head is.

 

[The Kingslayer]

More then one GM would. He could easily demand 9 mill on the market and get it.

Yeah, when looking at what Seth Jones and Darnell Nurse are being paid, he'd have easily gotten 9+.

 

[DanishAvsfan]

Fantastic deal. Now we just need Cale Scissorfeet not slice him.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

Tyler Myers signed for 6 millions x 5 years at age 29 when that much was 7.36% of the cap. Toews will earn 8.68% of the cap. From that perspective this seems like an ok deal.

 

[Richard88]

We won't need to trade anyone. Calm down, quit worrying about the cap and just enjoy this absolute gem of a contract one of the best defenders in the league just signed.

The numbers speak for themselves. One $3.5m+ contract needs to be moved next off-season for cap purposes. That's not me worrying that's just a fact.

I'm happy about Toews deal, it creates more flexibility than expected.

 

[Hasbro]

I was just informed this was very, very close to the deadline both sides agreed to.

Work takes the amount of time you have available.

Why? You're assuming Landeskog comes back and even if he does we still would have 3.5 million in space with 9 forwards, 5 Dmen and a goalie signed.

Lehkonen - Mackinnon- Rantanen
Landeskog- Johansen- Nichushkin
Wood- Colton- O'Connor
?- ?- ?

Toews - Makar
Byram - Manson
Girard- ?

Georgiev

It would be tight but a 4th line, 6th Dman and goalie all signed for 775k each would be $3,875,000 so we would have to clear roughly 400k to be cap compliant.

Manson could easily be moved and we could sign a few solid 4th liners for 1.5m each

 

[Gumballhead]

Toews is a beauty.
Don’t worry about Manson and Girard, we’re about to turn Caleb Jones into our next bargain bin hit.

 

[tucker3434]

Still pumped about this signing this morning. My wife is 100% tired of talking about it.

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

Didn’t realize there were so many big defenceman contracts out there.

When this deal kicks in, he’ll be the 29th highest paid defenceman in the NHL. So, as new deals are handed out, he’ll be paid like a #2 defenceman by year 1, or 2 the deal.

Great deal for Colorado.

That's assuming Landeskog comes back though. I hope he does, but unfortunately I don't think he does.

What makes you think Landy doesn't come back?

 

[JH21]

What makes you think Landy doesn't come back?

Uhh. Really?

 

[Cypher]

What makes you think Landy doesn't come back?

He missed all of last year, and most of the year before. Lonzo Ball of the NBA had the same surgeries before Landeskog and he isn't close to being back either. If there was Vegas betting odds, its more likely he doesn't return than he does at this point sadly.
