I still see him as a candidate for regression. Plus, his underlying metrics are very "meh;" he's more of a passenger than a play-driver. Don't get me wrong - I like JTC and would love to have him back; he's pretty good defensively and is decent at the dot. But he is likely going to ask for a hefty raise and I'm not sure he's the guy they should be spending that money on. The question for me is, would the Avs be better served spending that money on someone that can be more dynamic? They DO, have options in the form of trades to open up space and acquire other players but if they give JTC the kind of contract listed here, that's going to make things a lot tighter. And this AGM assumes that Landy and Nuke are out for the season which is very unlikely to happen.

Sujet: Colorado Avalanche signed Valeri Nichushkin (8 Years / $6,125,000 AAV)
Capfriendly chatters once again showing they have no concrete way of evaluating play-driving or defensive abilities. Val Nichuskin does two things really well, and those things are maybe the most important ones in comparison to their subtle nature: He makes the opposition score less, and he makes his team mates score more.

Instead people on this board are firmly attached to players reaping the rewards off of the backs of Nichuskin-types. How many people dragged Chicago for signing Kane for not only a much more expensive contract, but even more so in relative terms? Kane does less, but what he does *looks* better (because goals and assists are easy math, and defensive work and ice-tilting metrics is more difficult math), so people are fine with it. Nichuskin has been a top-3 forward on Colorado since his arrival, and this is a no-brainer.
