Confirmed Signing with Link: [CBJ] F Johnny Gaudreau signs with the Blue Jackets (7 years, $9.75M AAV)

[bossram]

Devils...didn't outbid that? What?

 

[PainForShane]

Did not see this coming. Johnny Gaudreau takes less money to leave Calgary to go to... Columbus? And instead of going to Jersey to play on a line with Jack Hughes or Hischier he will now play with... just looked at CBJ's roster and I still don't know who he'd be playing with. Jack Roslovic I guess. Hmm...

I question this man's sanity

 

[Homesick]

He countered their 12m a year offer?
Well I guess a 8 hour drive is closer to home

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Wow. Happy for Columbus and the fans. They deserve this after seeing so many star players not wanting to play for them.


Great stuff!!

 

[Mobiandi]

Wow Jersey and Philly are hopeless but the Jackets put them to shame. Enjoy Ohio, John?

 

[Peasy]

What just happened.

 

[SnizzNasty88]

Whaaaaattttt

 

[BlueDream]

I mean, Columbus is still a middling team but cool I guess.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Epic

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

What the heck. Shocker of the day, for me at least.

Not even that much money.

 

[Bond]

Lol I guess he really didn't want to be in Calgary or Treliving blocked his number

 

[Love]

I’m disappointed he didn’t sign with NJ because I was ready to make a thread asking if the Devils have the smallest forward group in NHL history

 

[BKarchitect]

Sneak attack by Jarmo.

At 7x12 this would have been fairly crazy. At 7x9.8 this seems like a legit great deal for the Jackets. I mean it’s rich but Johnny is a difference maker.

 

[BB88]

Jarmo has been insane the last 12 months.

Jones trade
Gaudreau signs
Rebuild the defense

 

[elmaco]

This is crazy.

 

[Flybynite]

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Home is where the heart is, Johnny.

 

[Some Other Flame]

lol

 

[ShelbyZ]

wut

 

[NiagaraKraken]

That’s awesome! Congrats Jackets fans, not a bad deal either!

 

[Brew]

So he doesn’t want to win a cup?

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

So much for the insiders.

 

[Turin]

Toasting in an epic bread

 

[John Pedro]

wow

nice pull and great deal if it's under 10

 

[Kcb12345]

Damn, Laine & Gaudreau are gonna be insane
