ha! jinx

 

[EspenK]

Very good news!

 

[db2011]

Good news!

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Knew something was up when I saw last night the Jackets had planted a live stream set for 11AM today on their YT channel..they dropped the ball.

good catch...he was around the arena last night too I believe

 

[Fro]

gonna guess b/t 5 and 5.5m AAV

 

[Jackets16]

Very good news. Hopefully this shows Johansen he will get the years and money if he proves he is worth it. Just play hard and perform and you will get the contract you want.

That seems about right although I wouldn't rule out 6 and I could see it being front loaded a bit in $.

 

[Jackets16]

Hopefully. For 6 years, I wouldn't want an AAV for anything more than 5 to be honest.

 

[TaketheCannoli]

That makes sense. I figure Horton's contract sets the team salary range.

 

[CBJ goalie]

Love this signing for the CBJ.

He fits the team mould perfectly, and has helped with the culture change there. Love the way he's embraced the team/city.

Next step: name him the captain.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

So this means the only significant UFA's after this coming year are Foligno and Letestu, correct? Bob, Calvert and Cam the big RFA's?

 

[spintheblackcircle]

He was at $4.2. Gotta think it's closer to $6, to be honest.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Good deal, He's the leader of the team with or without the C.

 

[Samkow]

He was at $4.2. Gotta think it's closer to $6, to be honest.

Honestly, I think I'd be okay if he made 8mil. He's pretty important.

 

[Jackets16]

He was at $4.2. Gotta think it's closer to $6, to be honest.

I would agree if he was younger or the contract was shorter. His salary may start out around $6 million, but I hope the AAV isn't that much.

 

[Jaxs]

Good to see Dubi extended. He is a Jacket.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

I would agree if he was younger or the contract was shorter. His salary may start out around $6 million, but I hope the AAV isn't that much.

He was at $4.65M last year. Gotta think it's at least a 20% raise, which would be $5.58M

 

[1857 Howitzer]

Great news plus they can finally give him the C.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

If they name him captain today....I may go buy a sweater. I haven't bought a sweater since Owen Nolan was a Shark.

 

[Fro]

can't take credit for it, but was just tweeted out

"I've seen a lot of extensions, but this one, it was better"

I admit, I laughed too hard at that....

Dubinsky's deal has an annual cap hit of $5.85M, with a NMC/NTC included.

Very good news. Hopefully this shows Johansen he will get the years and money if he proves he is worth it. Just play hard and perform and you will get the contract you want.

Johansen is better than Dubinsky at hockey and played hard and performed last season, just as Dubisnky did.
