Thats why Ive been saying that they are screwing Cujo over. I dont care if Cujo was the worst goalie in the history of hockey(which he is FAR from), if you lure him from another team with promises of a multiyear deal and a no-trade clause, then you honor that deal and suck it up if it happens to be a mistake. Instead of the NHLPA worrying about getting players to the 10-12mil/year mark to make itself look good and destroying the economics of the game, they should be lobbying against moves like this, that potentially effects a player's entire career.

As far as he Avs goalie situation, Theodore didnt have the greatest season last year, which definitely puts a damper on the amazing credentials he earned for himself in the 01-02 season. Owners and GM's are notorious for being easily spooked, and the early season fumbles he had last year could do the trick. Who knows what the Avs' move is going to be, because early on Lecroix said he wasn't going to make any big free agent aquisitions at all this off-season, and then he went out and picked up Selanne and Kariya. So for him to say he is going to wait until december to see if he needs to get a goalie could very well be a bunch of horseshit.
