Foote: 2 years/6 MIL
Liles: 4 years/16 MIL

Yay! I must say that I am very happy about these two signings. Liles was the one player that I thought would certainly leave during the Free Agency period. Guess I was wrong.

Here is the TSN story:

Scratch defencemen John-Michael Liles and Adam Foote from the list of available free agents.

Sources tell TSN that Liles and the Colorado Avalanche have agreed to terms on a four-year contract worth an average of slightly more than $4 million per year.

Liles was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent on Tuesday. The deal is likely to be formally announced Monday.
It's also expected the Avalanche will announce then that they have also re-signed Foote.

Sources tell TSN Foote's deal is believed to be for two years and a total of $6 million, or $3 million per year.

good price

slightly more than $4/year seems like a pretty good price too.

Contracts

You make it look now like Liles is only getting 1M/year on the first line.
I like both signings. I think both are elite players that add to the team and also to the franchise.
