Avs: Theodore to test market
With contract talks breaking down between the Avalanche and Jose Theodore, it seems Peter Budaj will enter training camp for a second consecutive year as the favorite to be the starting goalie. Don Meehan, Theodore's agent, said Thursday discussions between him and the team regarding his client have reached an impasse, and Theodore will test the NHL free-agent market beginning Tuesday. Meehan would not elaborate on why the talks stalled, but money and terms are the obvious likelihoods. Theodore, 31, made $6 million in the final year of his contract. He isn't likely to make that with the Avs or anyone else next season, but a few factors are in his favor in getting another hefty contract.

I don't think he's going to take a back up role, he thinks he's a #1 guy. And isn't Luongo one of those guys that plays a LOT of games?

You got my drift, Spiny!
"he thinks he's a #1 guy."
Jose only wants to get paid as a #1 guy. He just doesn't like the work that goes with it, so 10-12 games a year is right up his alley!

Would that lollipop be at the front end of the contract? That might be overdoing it a bit doncha think?

Oh no, deal's off: If you add the chocolate in the middle then you have to make it 3 mil.
If he doesn't go to Ottowa, I'm thinking he should try Columbus. They're evidently shopping and I'm thinking expectations might be a little lower there.

The Senators should pitch in for $2.5 MIL max. Maybe the Kings will think of it too?
