  1. His AAV last year was 1.9M, so he got a bit less probably for one more year of term.

    From the [article](https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/canucks-agree-to-terms-with-forward-teddy-blueger-on-a-two-year-contract):
    > “Teddy was a key addition to our team last year and we are really excited to have him back for a couple more seasons,” said Allvin. “His versatility and experience really helped our group in both the regular season and playoffs. He is a strong leader and someone we will count on a lot more moving forward.”

    [Dom](https://x.com/domluszczyszyn/status/1806087635745882258?s=46&t=7fabqgtgp69dNA1d51vxFw) at The Athletic has his projected value at 3M

  2. I LOVE this deal. I thought he’d be getting closer to 2.3-2.5M. Him taking a discount from last year was not what I expected.

  3. Another amazing signing by chef Allvin. Thought for sure he was going to command closer to $3m but getting a guy who can faceoff and PK at this AAV is massive.

  4. So how much do we have left to spend on Dak, Zaddy, Guentzel/Lindy? Cause this is a great deal!

  5. Wow thought he was getting at least 2.2 or more. Great piece of business.

    Solid 4C, proven chemistry with Garland if he moves up to the third line. Just need a Joshua-esque winger for them now

  6. Solid deal, especially since the weak centre market would have been a potential pulling factor away for him. More than happy to have Teddy back especially at a pay cut.

  7. Holy crap it is so refreshing to see players taking less than market to play here

  8. I will never forget Teddy holding the McDrai powerplay to an 0/5 in Game 5. Bro is a PK menace for us and the perfect bottom 6 centre

    ETA: 1.8 mill is incredible value, I thought it would’ve come closer to 2.5 mill

  9. Awesome. So happy to have him back, he really helped improve our over all defensive play and especially the PK. Solid signing, welcome back Bluegs!

  10. what insane value oh my god, Allvin is COOKING. are players actually taking discounts to play here???

  11. Wow, I had him at $2.2M x 2 years. This is amazing value.

    Good bye, Lindholm. We have cemented our 3C for the next 2 years.

  12. Great deal for Van.

    Reminds me of when Hartman took less on his 2nd deal with the Wild.

  13. I figured he was getting over 2 after this season. Getting him for less than his last contract AND getting an extra year is great. Fuck yeah Allvin

  14. Just for context on how big of a steal this is, Daily Faceoff projected that he’d get 2 years, $2.6 million per year on his next contract.

  15. Did not expect to retain him without massively overpaying. Seems like a fair deal here. Nice!
