Confirmed Signing with Link: [CBJ] Blue Jackets sign Gustav Nyquist (4 years, $5.5M AAV)

[Goalie guy]

That makes sense.

So looks like the Oilers are striking out?

Get use to it " Kenny we kicked some tires Holland" is there now.

 

[TSA0402]

Cap hit seems a tad high term is good. Much worse contracts handed out today for sure. Columbus needed an offensive boost, they got it. Not a bad UFA signing.

Stats show him as more of a 45 point player that had a career year. He hits 50 I'll have no complaints.

 

[WannabeFinn]

Oh yes, I like this

 

[DJA]

this isn't a rumor anymore

 

[GreeningOil]

Should be an Oiler

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Very useful, underrated player. This isn't a lot of money at this stage of the salary cap - it's 6.7% of the cap - and the term is very fair. I would've considered bringing him back at that price.

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Great contract. Blue Jackets fans should be happy with this.

 

[PullHard]

Very manageable contract

He is a sidekick but if you give him a nice young virile C to play with like Dubois he will be an asset

If you expect him to prop up others you will probably be disappointed

 

[SpezDispenser]

Good signing.

I was hoping to bring him back at that price...

29 year old coming off a 60 point season, this has to be one of the BEST free agent signings so far today. Congrats Jackets fans

 

[sepHF]

Reasonable signing forsure

 

[JerseyMike34]

First deal I've seen today to make me audibly say, Whoa.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

This is one of the more surprising signings of the day. Good deal for Columbus, but im amazed that teams like Edmonton or Buffalo couldn't/didn't want to beat this offer.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Solid signing by them.

 

[tmunnuch]

The guy is a wilting flower come playoffs.

 

[Reality Check]

This has all the makings of a disaster

 

[780il]

Only 4 years? Kenny should've done that wtf.

 

[Bronson]

Good deal.

 

[missionAvs]

Man I would have loved it if the Avs would have scooped him up for this. Good deal.

 

[Petes2424]

They have to have a center on their radar but it might have to come through trade now. Thought Filppula was perfect but maybe they’re moving Murray for a C.

Nyquist is a great signing. Not overpaid at all for what he brings.

 

[Weiss1604]

He honestly reminds me of Mikkel Boedker with a little less speed but better puck possession skills and vision. He'll complement a line well and put up points, but he's not the kind of player who drives the bus.

So in other words totally different lol ( just joking around ).

 

[Wedontneedroads]

Yikes. No way the Sharks could have matched that.

Interesting seeing Nyquist get .5 mil less for the same term as Timo.

Timo was significantly better than Nyquist in the playoffs.

 

[redwings25]

very good at bringing the puck up the ice and good passer. not a bad deal

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Probably the best contract of the day.
