The Blue Jackets have signed defenseman Markus Nutivaara to a four-year contract extension. Total worth $10.8m w/ $2.7m AAV (cap hit per season). Real dollars: $2.5m first three seasons & $3.3m in the final year (2021-22). Release coming shortly.

Good shit.

 

[Maylo]

Murray money after ELC, but for 2 more years.

If he keeps improving like he has, this contract is going to be a screaming deal by the time we're having to retain Bread/Bob/Z.

 

[Jackets Fan]

Hell ****in yeah mother****er!!!! Good for us and good for Nuti. Behind Z and Jones probably my fav D-man on the team. Steady and effective and rarely effs up

 

[JacketFanInFL]

At his current trajectory, this is a steal. Nice work Jarmo.

 

[Viqsi]

Official press release now up.

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

Somewhere, a certain former HF member is probably crying because Nuti won’t be getting paid as much as Jones #theleadingone

European hockey pyramid validated, says Leading One. The best of the blue line geezers. Will win a Stanley Cup before Mike Reilly.

Reilly's playing for Montreal now, so that's hardly a radical prediction given the state of that team.

 

[blahblah]

Has come a long way from the Torts dog house. Maybe Torts isn't all that great at deciding who should be there.

 

[Ruudukkopupuset]

What kind of man is this? Does he want nothing for himself?

Just in character. Although the case might have been made against Werenski and not Reilly.

 

[KJ Dangler]

So if Cole is signed , that’s Jones , Werenski , Savard, Nuti , Cole. Will Murray be traded ? I assume Jack Johnson is not resigned . Then you have Kukan, Harrington, Gavrikov, Carlsson for the 6th spot . What a stacked defensive core we have

So you made a new profile , and this is your first post ? Gotcha

 

[Sore Loser]

Great extension, great dollars. Nuuti is a second pairing guy and is only getting better.

Second ever post is in the mains thread about this signing and includes throwing unnecessary shade at Puljujarvi.

The evidence is compelling.

I'd like to retain Murray, I can't imagine that he would be due for to much of a pay increase given his production and inability to stay on the ice since signing his last contract. Should be able to get him to resign for not much more. I'd like to keep Ian Cole as well, but I'm not so sold that we would be able to afford to keep him in the offseason, the team has to be well prepared for 2019, Panarin is going to get 8-9MM as is Bob and Werenski, who knows by that time, he might be a 7-8M D man at that point or more. They have to find a way to get out of that Dubinsky contract.

 

[Maylo]

So now we have 2,4M from JJ money for Cole and Murray rise. Harrington probably/hopefully will be shipped for late pick.

 

[Ruudukkopupuset]

From a scouting perspective Nutivaara wasn't a hidden talent to be found as has been lately cherished but a breakthrough player who in the season when he was drafted was playing a key role in the play-offs for perhaps the best team of that year. Golden helmet Joonas Donskoi for example was a NHL-ready player from that very same team. That team where he shined also happened to be one of the best in Afroeurasia, personnel and play included. So Nutivaara wasn't off the map but written on it.

 

[absolute garbage]

It's not Jarmo's way of doing things, but I was kinda hoping for a long 8 year deal at say 3.8M. It would a bit more risky, and of course more expensive the first 4 seasons, but you wouldn't have to worry about that Atkinson/Dubinsky/Foligno late 20s UFA contract scenario Jarmo really struggles with. Still though, this is a great contract.

 

[We Want Ten]

This seems like a good deal.

 

[Daisy Ridley]

Really hope this means no JJ resigning

Will interesting to see what is done with Murray
