Confirmed Signing with Link: [CBJ] Jackets and Seth Jones agree to deal (6 years, $5.4M AAV)

[jacks*]

Great deal. WTG Jackets.

 

[CHaracter79]

Unreal. Was expecting atleast 6 mill a year.

based on his play or potential? Morgan Reilyl only got 5 per.. and he has had a better first 3 seasons then Jones

 

[mouser]

It's fair value and a good gamble that Jones will continue to improve. Maybe it turns out to be a steal in a couple years, but I think it's a little premature to say for certain it's a steal right now.

 

[CHaracter79]

So at 6 years, does that mean they got 0 UFA years?

1 UFA year I believe

or maybe 2

 

[varano]

Wow highway robbery

Gimmi Jones over Rielly 8 days a week.

 

[Beerfish]

Will probably be a very good deal, as usual it will all depend on what the player ends up developing into.

 

[Goose of Reason]

Love it, between this and the Rielly deal Lindholm should sign for around the same.

Great deal then.. Important to get a couple of UFA years in there and at a great cap hit

 

[Runner77]

lol trouba isn't getting an offersheet.

When's the last time a team was successful on an offersheet?

Great by CBJ on their Jones deal.

 

[CHaracter79]

Great deal then.. Important to get a couple of UFA years in there and at a great cap hit

if u bridge it for two years... at say 3m per... you can then sign a long term 8 year deal at say 7 or 8 if he proves him self.... and this way you buy 5 years of UFA

and sure the hit is 2m higher but what will his cap hit b in six years when he is a UFA

 

[ThirdManIn]

A bit high on the dollars I think, but they had the very real risk of an offer sheet. Also I could be judging it as high because it's $1.4m higher than Josi, yet he isn't better than Josi.

The extra $1.4m is for when he becomes better than Josi I suppose, which may very well happen.

Either way, it's not a bad deal. Good on Columbus

 

[fsanford]

When's the last time a team was successful on an offersheet?

Great by CBJ on their Jones deal.

If the CAP stays stagnate you will see the success rate go up.

 

[MarryMarner]

People say this is a bargain but that Rielly's was an overpayment...

Buffalo twice a week on HF

 

[GoJetsGo55]

People say this is a bargain but that Rielly's was an overpayment...

Rielly is in no way overpaid. Dude is pretty damn good.

 

[Jackets16]

The key, that no one has brought up, is this also sets the market for what Murray and Werenski will get if they develop like we hope.

 

[Boot]

Buffalo twice a week on HF

Only twice a week? Man, I'm so glad to hear that they've been calming down with them.

Thank god no one would dare offer sheet Risto though, that just wouldn't make sense.

 

[CHaracter79]

was like the PK bridge deal. We could have signed him for 5.5 in 2012 for 6 years.
sure we save cap hit after first two years which were bridged at 2.75per

but he would also be a UFA at 29 next summer, and once they sign that first big deal, they may be looking for change of scenery and pose a greater flight risk.. i.e. Stamkos

 

[Curufinwe]

Gimmi Jones over Rielly 8 days a week.

And twice on Sundays.

 

[KevinRedkey]

Exactly what I expected because that's the going rate for young dmen with potential.

 

[NarcoPolo]

Fair deal. A little high atm but will be a steal in a couple years.

 

[fsanford]

if u bridge it for two years... at say 3m per... you can then sign a long term 8 year deal at say 7 or 8 if he proves him self.... and this way you buy 5 years of UFA

and sure the hit is 2m higher but what will his cap hit b in six years when he is a UFA

Your assuming he was not going to offer sheeted.. Its the New NHL, Canada $ is weak, cap is pretty stagnate, the dynamic seems different. I think teams are going to become more predatory.

Keep going!
