[CaptainBenn]

Poor flames...

 

[snipes]

For less term and money that what Calgary was supposedly offering.

Ouch.

 

[DeeQ]

OH MY JARMO

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

BASED COLUMBUS!

 

[super6646]

His agent f***ed up lol. He should’ve gotten a higher aav.

Wow. He left over 15m off the table to go to Columbus. He really wanted to be out east.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

OH
MY
f***ING
G-D

Wow congrats good contract too Cant believe it

 

[Deku]

RIP Devils fans

 

[Svechhammer]

I'm just here for the NYI, NJD, and PHI reactions

 

[NYRKing]

Is this real lol? Under 10M to CBJ? I can’t believe NJ or NYI couldn’t get him for that. Congrats jackets.

 

[5 14 6 1]

This makes quite literally zero sense.

Worse team, worse city, less money and not even that close to family lol

 

[KingsHockey24]

Who wants to sign in Columbus lol

 

[Stealth1616]

Flames fans gonna be mad lol. Is that less money to go to…. Columbus ?

 

[KCC]

Well def wasn’t about the money as stated I guess. Maybe he decided to give them a “home discount”. Lol.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Wow - well done Columbus

 

[olli]

WTF. I have no idea why he chose them over New Jersey??? Playing with laine will be fun to watch but CBJ still doesn’t have a 1C right? And how the hell did they get him for only 9.8?? And he’s further away from his family then he’d be in NJ, NYR or Philadelphia. Happy for CBJ though after they lost Panarin a few years back.

 

[Chips]

What the hell? Someone explain this to me lol

It’s less disappointing than Philadelphia but still super disappointing at what the Devils could have had.

 

[Langdon Alger]

He heard they signed Gudbranson and knew he had to go there.

 

[42]

So he decided not to re-sign with Calgary to play in Columbus? Something's missing in the puzzle.

 

[De Montreal]

Wish I put some money on this lol the odds were probably like 20:1

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Good. f*** the Devils.

 

[Cinderblox]

Ok, Johnny Hockey with avv less than 10m. I like it.

 

[God]

How did New Jersey drop the ball like this

 

[ElLeetch]

nobody wants to play for the Devils or Islanders.

 

[Rob Brown]

This makes quite literally zero sense.

Worse team, worse city, less money and not even that close to family lol

They have some great prospects and solid young players on the team now. They'll be competitive soon.

 

[unicornpig]

Probably making the most tax wise in cbj
