Lateralous Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Who gives a 4th liner whose body has been breaking down for a couple of years a 6 year deal? I actually thought the Avs were one of the well managed teams. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for him though, I liked most of his play in the regular season, but he didn't seem to adjust to the playoffs very well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to choose 6 years for him or 6 years for Wood, I’m taking Graves every time. But I’m plenty happy that the Devils were able to do neither. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted July 1, 2023 Author Share Posted July 1, 2023 Wood’s AAV is $2.5 million. I’d still want no part of him for six years but the AAV isn’t awful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to choose 6 years for him or 6 years for Wood, I’m taking Graves every time. But I’m plenty happy that the Devils were able to do neither. I figured he was a 5 million per year guy as well. When you look at it in the context of Pittsburghs situation, it’s fine. They might have added a year or two of term to get the 4.5 AAV. I mean, they’re probably looking at 3 years of trying to make a final push for the playoffs and some amount of success before Crosby, Malkin and Letang are done and they start all over, in which case they won’t care about years 4-6 on the Graves deal.

Yeah by UFA standards I don’t really consider Graves’ deal all that bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know, with very few exceptions, I don’t think you should ever be paying a 4th line guy 2.5 million. I laughed at the Leafs for the Kampf deal and he’s at least the 4th line center, not a wing. If you’re going to 6 years, you would think you’d be getting a huge break on AAV. I mean, once we acquired Lazar, I preferred to see him in the lineup than wood and he costs a million and a half less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, once we acquired Lazar, I preferred to see him in the lineup than wood and he costs a million and a half less I thought the AAV was going to be closer to the $3.2 million he got last year. I’m not saying he represents killer value or anything…just that his deal is a little less bad (but to be clear if I’m an Avs fan I’m not excited about this signing). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 The Wood deal kind of reminds of the deal John Moore signed with Boston when he left the Devils; it was like a six year deal for $2 million a year or something like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lateralous Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 I’ve always considered Miles Wood the poor man’s version of David Clarkson. This deal seems like the poor man’s version of the Toronto Clarkson deal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good thing about Graves is that he’s a guy who can help teams who have very meh D-corps…he’s an above-average defenseman. Is he a guy you necessarily want if you consider yourself a legit contender for a Cup? Probably not, but there’s only a handful of teams who can say they’re legit contenders. For several teams, he represents an upgrade. Here’s where the Pens fvcked up…if Hextall doesn’t make that awful Marino deal, they don’t have to pony up for Graves. I’d rather have Marino. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
