Avs signing of Hejda official. Four years

Awesome news. He'll be filling a massive hole in our young, weak defense.
Great news, but that also probably means no JovoCop.

Sadly. Jovo signed with Florida.. but Hejda is much more reliable in his own end. He's a better stay-at-home defeseman which is more what the Avs need right now.

Yeah, that's way too much to give up coming off of a season that gave you the #2 pick.. but wow, Varlamov? That is HUGE.

Better deal than Toronto got when they took the bitchy Phil Kessel off our hands for two firsts (#2 and #9 overall in 2010 and 2011) and a second.

Now how do we get to the cap floor?

Gagne? Cole? Richards?

They have to sign somebody big, or start overpaying for decent players.

At this point, the trade is a sunk cost. I'll try to remain optimistic, but Sherman literally gambled his career with this move.

So instead of Vokoun/Jovo, we get Varlamov/Hejda. I can live with that.

Still need to sign a backup goalie and spend more to get to the cap floor.

Avs sign Giguere. Our goalie tandem is now complete.

If Varly can continue to do this:


And Hejda can continue to do this:


...then the Avs are in good shape. I wonder if anything else is in the works.

Edit: Dater says Vokoun was asking for too much, so the Avs passed. Also, they're apparantly working on another signing.

Varlamov/Giguere is a very nice goalie tandem. I think JSG could still start for a lot of teams.

Hopefully we get either a top six forward or a top four defender. One of those two would really help round out this team.

Jesus, that stings. 4 years, 18 mill.. Florida's almost a brand new team. We better be targeting a winger.

4.25 million a year is too much for Flash. Glad he got paid and all but I wouldn't have signed him for that.

I still think another defensemen would be better than another winger.

It's an excellent goalie tandem.... if they stay healthy. Varly played a grand total of 27 games last year, Giggy played 33. With our current injury curse, I'll remain cautiously optimistic.

Fucking Dater made a total ass of himself all week long.

How is it that this state doesn't have one competent hockey reporter?

Agreed. But who's left that's worth signing? If anything, I think they should offer a deal to Gagne. He seems to be pretty much the only quality player left unsigned.

I'd love to see Gagne here.

As for defensemen, I'd love to see them bring Hannan back for a year.
