Avs definitely needed some Dmen. I hope they savagely overpaid.

Avs additions to the backend have now been Beauchemin + Zadorov. Am I missing anyone?

Colorado needs some experience on the defense.....kind of makes a lot of sense actually.

Iginla can fight him in practice and get his retribution for the KO he too back in 06.

Always depends on price (which we haven't heard yet), but he is a good addition for the Avs.

Iginla got his retribution vs. Beauchemin.

Not a KO, but a decisive win nonetheless.

One year too many but that's the sacrifice you have to make on July 1.

Looks like he took less for that 3 year deal, good deal for the Avs.

Great deal. Anaheim should have kept him at that price.

Got a NMC out of it...great contract for Beauchemin. Maybe not so much for Colorado.

4.5 for 3 years seems fair to me.

3 years at $4.5M for a 35 year old Beauchemin doesn't seem great. Isn't he already too slow?

Overpayment for a 35 year old.

Didn't go to Oilers that good by me. Alot of rumours Edmonton was after him.

Good pick up for the Avs. Desperately needed real defensemen and got two in a few days. One older, physical, and experienced. One young, skilled, and promising. Throw in Tyson Barrie and they have the makings of a halfway decent defense.

Contract is good. Decent value for what Beauchemin brings and not too much term for an older player.
