Well played Feaster. The right kind of player to gamble our 1st rd pick on.
Feaster really used the CBA to make this difficult for Colorado. Colorado can't trade him for a calender year. The trade deadline is likely to be before today's date next year. The QO has to be 6.5m when this deal expires. That is a lot if he isn't signed to a long term deal prior to that. The QO comes in at the same time as Duchene and Landeskog need to be signed. Giving him the signing bonus for this year. Well made offer to ensure we have the best chance to sign a 22 year old centre who has proved he can play in the NHL.
Doesn't matter if they match or not, smart move IMO.
Colorado won't match. We'll miss the playoffs on the last night of the season and then proceed to win the draft lottery.
