Pavel Francouz has signed a new contract with the Colorado Avalanche.

great value

I love it

Feel like Sakic is slowly but surely becoming one of the best GMs of this era.
Just chalking up win after win after win in drafting, trading and signing.
Every move he makes gives Colorado a better chance at immediate or future success.
Hats off.

a steal... what a deal
sakic with some magic

only 2 mil for a good backup, good deal by the avs. reminds me of the Raanta deal

Perfect for both sides, Frankie stays in a situation that he feels comfortable with and avs get a back up goalie that fits within their cap structure.

Other than Yzerplan

Trade deadline more like signing deadline

getting it done

Good deal, he’s a solid backup/fringe starter, a bit injury prone though

Nice, he's a # 1 starter on most teams.

I love it. Sakic doing his thing, as always.

(Almost) every move. Moving a 4th for MacDermid is the one counter example that comes to mind

Good signing. It was a bit iffy after the injury that caused him to miss all of last season, but he seems to be back to his 2019 form. I suspect they used Raanta as a comparable.

I wonder if they’ll try to extend Kuemper too, or if they’ll wait to see how he does in the playoffs first.

meh, that's not a $3.8 backup goalie signing at 3 years like the GM god does. But no names, don't wanna rile up his followers.

@mondo (or @aadoyle ) can you do your 0 days since thinking about the leafs meme here please?

Has immensely succeeded at every level. If gone to UFA, he could've gotten started / tandem role in somewhere like Buffalo or Arizona.
He could've gotten 3.5m × 2
Great signing for 1 of the best backups in the game.

more of a "glasses man bad" comment

That works too.

That's not really a bad move either, it's just getting defencive depth.

You mentioned the team name not me, it's on you buddy.

perfecto

when he is healthy he has proven to be a capable backup, I dont see much upside, but considering their lack of depth in net, this is a solid signing.

a steal
