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

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

I thought he guaranteed to end up in Detroit.

So Kyper was wrong, It happens.

 

[Zach716]

CHEEEEESE.

Why couldn’t CBJ wait until we signed Dahlin.

 

[Bruce Granville]

Holy shit…
I first checked if Werenski was traded to the Leafs or if Dubas is now in Columbus…
That is too much.

But it shows that Jarmo isn’t afraid to pay top dollar for players he wants to keep.

 

[Sensinitis]

And Heiskanen at 8.45.

Great deal there for sure

 

[StickShift]

So, what do we estimate the Columbus-tax is here? $1.0-1.5m extra per season? Yikes.

 

[GoLeafsGo96]

Fox
Nurse
McAvoy

Over here looking at this like....

 

[Puckstop40]

I like Werenski but that is definitely a premium+

I like the Makar deal even more now.

 

[Reality Check]

This guy started raising the roof the minute Columbus trade Jones and Chicago immediately gave him a wild contract.

Cha-ching for him.

 

[Kranix]

This is just what he's worth to columbus

 

[Joe Sakic]

Jesus dude he’s really good but…my god.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Mid-market team gets ripped for losing players.

Mid-market team gets ripped for keeping players.

Its one or the other.

 

[ItWasJustified]

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

If you got away from Detroit, you should never go back.

 

[Zerotonine]

FML any chance nurse hasn't seen this yet?????

 

[wpgallday1960]

Werenski is a good player but that is too much. Shouldn’t get a dime more than Hieskenan

 

[stevo61]

Kypreos and MacLean were wrong? Consider me surprised

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

This is not good at all.

 

[Fro]

Here for the Detroit fan crow eating

We'll just sign him in '23

 

[Hodge]

But I thought he was going to Detroit to play with Jacob Trouba and Torey Krug.

 

[JungleBeat]

Underrated and they had to pay for him to stay.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Enjoy that one. Seriously though that’s pretty high

 

[Captain Mountain]

I'm not sure that's a great contract, but Werenski is undoubtedly better than Jones, so it makes sense.

 

[MMC]

 

[McOvechking]

Werenski is not even rosterable in fantasy. Terrible contract.

 

[Fro]

 

[cheesymc]

Sorry but Werenski isnt worth this contract.
