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

[le_sean]

Good for the Jackets

 

[Sky04]

How did the Devils not sign him at this price

 

[stevo61]

Maybe Jarmo was playing chess while everyone else was playing checkers when he signed Gudbranson

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Poor Devils fans.

absolutely not. They were annoying. Good for CBJ and their fans.

 

[Divine]

Jeez, the East is going to be a bloodbath to make the playoffs.

I think Ottawa, Columbus, and NYI will be better than last season.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Lets go Columbus!! great deal!

 

[Ace]

Hey good for Columbus

 

[Kranix]

probably a massive signing bonus

 

[MMC]

 

[Legion34]

Ummm where does he live? Toronto is closer to Columbus Than Philly.

This makes no sense

 

[tomd]

How do they afford Laine...or do they trade him?

 

[Wierzbowski426]

Haven't seen that many devils fans going crazy to sign him? I mean, he would have been fun to watch every game for sure though. I know whiskey loves him.

Nice signing Columbus.

 

[JPeeper]

Bruh, guy left $15 mil on the table by leaving Calgary...to go to Columbus?

Wat, like technically he's closer to home, but the f***

 

[Scholarships]

Wow Columbus got their #1 and #2 target today

 

[Brent Burns]

LMAO WHAT

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

lol wow...took less to play in CBJ?

wow, he really wanted out of Cowtown

 

[Hockeyholic]

This makes no sense.

Took less money

Isn't that close to home (Columbus is like 6 hours from Phi/NJ).

Columbus...Isn't nearly as promising as NJ.

 

[traffic cone]

Maybe he’s good buddies with Gudbranson and Jarmo knew it?

 

[Twisted Sinister]

Wow. Just wow. This is a wacky-ass FAF day, let me tell you.

 

[kp61c]

He really must have hated it in Calgary. Tragic.

 

[stevo61]

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

I question this man's sanity

Laine and Johnson/Sillinger/Jenner with Werenski on the backend

 

[MSZ]

He grew up in Ohio?

 

[ole ole]

This makes quite literally zero sense.

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

Ya i feel the same way.

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

Columbus, Ohio. This was a family decision after all.

 

[Colezuki]

I’m actually stoked for Columbus fans that’s a great building block for them and helps attract and maintain talent
