Default Kraken sign Joey D’Accord to an extension (5 years, 5 million AAV)

Weird extension here IMO. Good for Joey though

Another ugly extension. These goalies must have formed a union of their own and have some incriminating photos of these GM's.

So they're going to pay Grubauer $5.9M and Daccord $5M?

That is a LOT of money for less than elite goaltending

This contract is even worse than Ullmark's

Following the Oilers' strategy: the more you pay your players, the better they are.

I thought Grubauer's contract may be up after this season. Nope. 3 more years.

This one is a head shaker. Francis under the gun already? He's a guy that traditionally didn't make rash or quick moves. And didn't pay a bunch. Seems out of character of late.

He was restricted in Carolina, now seems like he can do whatever in Seattle and is showing he is a terrible GM.

He's only a backup if you don't play him like a starter. Easy fix!

This is like a fantasy draft when there is a bizarre run on goalies too early and all the other GMs freak out.

I guess he did play 50 games for them last year and did pretty well. Seems like a lot for a guy with a short track record. But if he plays like he did last season it's actually not that bad. Risky for sure. Last year he was the same age as Cooley and Vladar are now and might have had a breakout season. Good for him to get his money.

No wonder Shesterkin wants a contract that is in the 10M range. He is worth 3 Daccords

Isn’t the ask more than $11 million x 8? As in he turned down that already?

Ha. I had my fantasy draft last night and took Daccord exactly because of that goalie run (in a really deep league!).

I hope that Seattle is right about this guy... cause I kind of agree with you all and for the sake of my fantasy team, I don't want any of you to be right about this signing being a mistake.
