Confirmed Signing with Link: [CBJ] Zach Werenski signs extension with the Blue Jackets (6 years, $9.583M AAV)

[Tasteless Beaver]

Given the rate that stars have been leaving Columbus, the wise thing to do here was just hand him a blank cheque.

 

[DJA]

Never change, HF

 

[HabsDood]

That's a lot

 

[XX]

Columbus imploding again

 

[LeafsandSharksfan]

Got more than the top UFA D-man on the market from his own team in advance, impressive

 

[Sensinitis]

Man I’m super happy to have Chabot at 8M

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Wtf at that amount

 

[Spring in Fialta]

So happy for Columbus! Nice for them to have a star sign long-term!

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Bang for your buck. Werenski is generational talent.

 

[HOPE]

Remember when he was taking a very short deal to be UFA and sign a cheap home contract to the wings.

 

[TheNumber4]

f*** you Jarmo. f*** you Werenski. This contract is NOT indicitive of the Market. Darnell Nurse look away!

 

[CorgisPer60]

It's Cale Makar money to be sure. Buys 5 years of UFA status, so factor that into your equations.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Given the rate that stars have been leaving Columbus, the wise thing to do here was just hand him a blank cheque.

Yup exactly

 

[Canes]

Why are people shocked at the AAV have you guys not been paying attention? This is market value now.

Since they weren't buying out a lot of UFA years, AAV should be lower.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Imagine if they had kept Jones and re-signed him
Almost 20 M for 2 defenseman

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Dude is a beast and one of the more underrated players in the league.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Bang for your buck. Werenski is generational talent.

Not even close

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

Bang for your buck. Werenski is generational talent.

I had been calculating 4, but agreed. That was going to hurt if you wanted long term

 

[DJA]

Since they weren't buying out a lot of UFA years, AAV should be lower.

What do you consider “a lot” of UFA years? This is 5 UFA years.

 

[kp61c]

Lol, Columbus is such a mess.

 

[Warden of the North]

Ding ding ding

I’m not shocked at the AAV. I am shocked that it’s only 6 years.

 

[Jerkbait]

Surprised he wanted to stay but good on him and the jackets . Its going to be a long road ahead , hopefully he sticks it out now

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

f*** you Jarmo. f*** you Werenski. This contract is NOT indicitive of the Market. Darnell Nurse look away!

Bahaha Darnell look away!

 

[JesusNPucks]

Man I’m super happy to have Chabot at 8M

And Heiskanen at 8.45.
