Vegas has L.A. at 9-1 to win the cup next year = 11%, let's be generous and give them 7-1 = 14%. Col is listed at 18-1 = 5.5%, let's be pessimistic and give them 25-1 = 4%.
So pretend these are your options (Chi would be similar)
1) L.A. 3 years @ 2M + 14% chance/year at a cup ring.
2) Col 3 years @ 5.33M + 4% chance/year at a cup ring.
I'll take the extra 10M thanks, It's not like he is choosing the money over a guaranteed cup ring.

though it would make me hypocritical since i used %'s and my last post, Avs vs LA in a 7 games series, LA I would have to think the odds would have to be better then 3:1 for LA.... besides having equal talent, LA is far more clutch, they are much bigger (Avs are comparatively a small team) and LA has a far better defense, not to mention a difference making defenseman. Goal I'll call even.
Up until Iginla signed with Colorado, I don't think anybody here considered the Avs a contender. Especially not how they played against Minnisota in the playoffs; they couldn't even stand up to Minnisota, let alone LA, Anahaim, Chicago and St Louis who are all a tier ahead of them. Colorado is a tier 2 team.
