Ugh, he's got a decent stick, but he's rather useless,

He makes $250K if he is top 5 TOI (Wideman's icetime pretty much guarantees that one), doubt he makes it top-3 but that could be another $250K. He gets another $250K if he plays 41 games, which means he only has to play 30 more of the remaining 68; even having missed 3 games early on, he's still on pace for 64, so 65 is not out of the question, which would get him another $250K. And if the team makes the playoffs that's another $250K.

So by my reckoning he's nearly guaranteed to make $1.75M with a good chance at $2M.

It's not a bad thing to have a relatively cheap guy like Oduya around, and it is only a one year contract.

Anyway, can't wait to watch the game tomorrow afternoon! I'm going to keep my expectations for Duchene extremely low for the first couple weeks as he adapts.

I can't really watch the game, I'll PVR it and hope no one says anything. I have high expectations for Duchene right out of the gate. I think he's beyond relieved to be out of Colorado and that situation and will let loose.
