After leaving the Dallas Stars, Roussel signed a four-year deal in Vancouver, but was it in the Stars’ best interest to let him leave? It depends on how fans look at it.
Contract
Comeau’s contract is for three years at $2.4M AAV. Roussel’s new deal is four years at $4M AAV. At those prices, Comeau’s the better deal to fill the position if they play equally well. It’s possible Roussel would’ve taken less to stay in Dallas, but those discounts don’t happen as often as fans think.
Comeau’s deal is shorter and it’s for less time.
