Yeah, it was a give and take. He had shown enough, imo, to warrant a higher AAV, but the stars (or maybe Ottinger) wanted short term. I bet he would have been a $5-6mil AAV goalie on a 5-8 year deal, and personally I would have done it.
Stars can make hay for three years with an extremely low cap hit for a top 3-5 NHL goalie, but if remains like this he'll be the next $10mil goalie and factoring in rising cap, that may be more like a $12-$14 mil goalie,
