AAV better be under 1.5M

 

[CBJ goalie]

Ok, this will help with C - but still need someone that can play on the top line

AAV better be under 1.5M

It’s day 1 of free agency. Prepare to be hurt.

 

[Cowumbus]

Better be under 2 or I’ll be pissed. 4 years…

 

[KJ Dangler]

So we now have 6 players signed for next yr, or is that now 7 ? We are seeing a major roster overhaul .

 

[Long Live Lyle]

Sillinger, Roslovic, Kuraly... ALL COLUMBUS ALL THE TIME DOWN THE MIDDLE!

ETA: I actually didn't see the years... was not expecting it to be that long. Might actually turn out to be that down the middle 2-3 years from now haha.

Guessing we couldn't get Bonino

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

Guessing we couldn't get Bonino

Guessing we didn't even try to sign him

 

[DJA]

Seeing 4 years, $10M ($2.5M AAV)

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Just having a player who you know what they can do is beneficial. So I see it as two center spots accounted for - one in the top 6 and one in the bottom 6 - and two spots up for grabs in competition among guys already on the roster.

 

[ViD]

I guess the team goal is to gather all Ohio natives now

 

[Finner]

Well this makes no sense. Center for position where we have centers or young guys coming up. Dislike

Seeing 4 years, $10M ($2.5M AAV)

Not good, but not terrible either. Not gonna be too upset about it

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

Seeing 4 years, $10M ($2.5M AAV)

Hopefully this works out better than Riley Nash and Gregory Campbell

 

[Kevo22363]

Seeing 4 years, $10M ($2.5M AAV)

This doesn't hurt anything. Pretty good signing. The one I'm worried about is Boone.

 

[JacketsDavid]

Seeing 4 years, $10M ($2.5M AAV)

Not a fan of the term or the dollars.

Grand scheme of things not a big deal, but overall I think we overpaid in both departments.

 

[Long Live Lyle]

Hopefully this works out better than Riley Nash and Gregory Campbell

Nash's wasn't awful. Campbell was a disaster.

It is interesting the bottom-6 C pipeline we've developed with Boston, though.

 

[Nanabijou]

Would have liked it to be a year less, but that's FA Frenzy for you. Prices are crazy once again.

 

[Moch Daear]

58% FO winner for Boston last year and the numbers have improved over the last few years in that department. Not going to "make or break" but I like the signing.

 

[LoneFunyan]

Sillinger, Roslovic, Kuraly... ALL COLUMBUS ALL THE TIME DOWN THE MIDDLE!

Columbus: The Centers Of The Hockey Universe

 

[UConn126]

Take good care of him!

Very fun player, always looks like he's having a good time playing. Great shut down center. Won't score a ton but he has a knack for clutch goals.

 

[EspenK]

Long wait for that...wait till Kent the Thrill arrives.

 

[GoJackets1]

Nothing wrong with this signing at all. Also I wouldn't be surprised to see his offensive numbers get boosted a bit with more responsibility/ice time. Good faceoff, character, PK guy. This is something we desperately needed.

 

[NotWendell]

He's from Dublin!
