It’s a wonder any NHL team executive picks up the phone when the Avalanche front office calls.
At this point, it should be pretty clear that if the Avs are interested in trading for a player on your roster, that’s grounds for you to immediately re-evaluate said player and potentially offer him a long-term contract.The latest example: everyone’s favorite offseason addition between the pipes.
Where some might have seen an unproven career backup, the Avs saw an opportunity, and nabbed him for the price of three draft picks and a three-year, $10.2 million contract extension that makes him the 33rd highest paid goalie in the league,But the fanboys inside the Grading the Week offices are ready to declare the 26-year-old netminder a steal — especially after he outdueled Shesterkin in a 3-2 shootout victory inside Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night.
