I agree. this is a great deal for the Avs and Joe.

afterall he only had to give him 3.5 this year but it has now been moved to 5.1. I would have hated to see a Player go from 3.5 to say 7 million in one year. In my opinion that would have been insane and could have hurt every other GM that has a young talant like Thornton. IE Heatly and Kovolchuk.

Nice work by the Agent and the GM on this one.
