Awesome!

 

[major major]

So happy

Great AAV and term.

 

[BluejacketNut]

Good contract

 

[Jive Pawnbroker]

Yesssssssss

 

[Jackets16]

That is an AMAZING deal!!!!

 

[ijuka]

That's an amazing deal for Jackets(Jones needs a new agent).

It's over 1mil less than I expected.

 

[Jackets16]

That is an AMAZING deal!!!!

 

[BluejacketNut]

Now if we can just get him to use that size with a bit more nastiness

 

[spintheblackcircle]

That's......a very good signing by the front office.

 

[Crede777]

Looks like Jones got the term he wanted and Jackets got the salary they wanted.

Very nice job. I was expecting Saad's contract, but this slots in nicely with his accomplishments and comparables.

 

[Crede777]

The biggest positive, I think, is that Jones wasn't a PITA about this.

 

[SavesEmNot]

And another offer sheet thread in the Trade Rumors forum bites the dust.

 

[Kentucky]

Fantastic deal. Shows that Jones wants to be a Jacket!

 

[punk_o_holic]

Yes! Happy with this deal.

"Looks like Jones got the term he wanted and Jackets got the salary they wanted."

Yes.
Now if we fans can just get the play we want.

Hopefully the upward progression I think we saw continues.

Now on to the moves necessary to create cap space for this signing and additional flexibility.

 

[The Jones Zone]

I'm happy with the deal, but I feel as if it's a fair deal for both sides

It just looks great to many CBJ fans due to the numerous terrible contracts that we do have

Now if i hear 1 buyout, and 1 player placed on LTIR, and 1 traded, this team will be close to fixed

 

[Jackets16]

So, what happened to his agents wanting to set the market?

Also, where are the haters at? Sure, we have some bad contracts, but we also have quite a few good ones now.

The key, that no one has brought up, is this also sets the market for what Murray and Werenski will get if they develop like we hope.

No, it's a great deal. Look at what some other defensemen have gotten recently.

He did get more than Morgan Rielly, so...

 

[Cowumbus]

Good deal, good job Jarmo. (That's a first)

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Good deal, good job Jarmo. (That's a first)

It really isn't.

The Jones and Joey trade debate (who won?) is going to occupy these Boards for the next decade. But with this contract, and thinking about what Joey's next contract is going to be like, I'm liking being on the CBJ side right now...
