Nice!

Dude is thriving in this environment - whenever he and Cam are on the ice together they create havoc for the opposition.

Think this will be looked back on as a home run deal. This kid has great flexibility in line play, and has shown a great ability to get to net and finish. Should be a double digit goal scorer this year if the NHL don't make a couple of questionable calls on replay. I'm gonna call him a 20g scorer in a full season and paying 950k for 20g a year is a steal.

Agreed with all comments. Great signing. Now wrap them fingers in some duct tape and get back on the ice! LOL

I really like this signing. The good news is that Calvert's production was better than Atkinson, so you're likely going to get Cam on a deal very similar. Save the cap space for a top six left winger and to re-sign Bob.

This was a no brainer for CBJ management... he's been the CBJ spark for 2 months.. I wish he could play the remaining two games, if not the playoffs I hope he takes up where he left off before getting that finger broken next season..:handclap:

$1m average. Wow. Letestu signed for a $1.25m/avg. Jarmo must be one hell of a negotiator.

I expect Bob to sign for no more than $1.5m/yr.:laugh::laugh:
