Been calling it for awhile.

5.5M AAV Book it.

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

I'll second the 5.5M AAV guess

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

4.9M AAV. Wow!!!

 

[KJ Dangler]

4.9 mill confirmed

Jarmo is a stud

Nice deal for the Jackets. As for Jarmo I think its the shaved head.

 

[Monk]

Wow!

 

[spintheblackcircle]

If Wennberg plateaus and plays as he does, good deal. If he continues to grow then it's a stellar deal. No complaints here.

 

[Cowumbus]

Steal of a deal.

Don't see any way he plateaus , especially with Panarin on his line. Plus he has a good shot , and confidence will only continue to grow

"Stellar" would be putting it mildly. That would put this in the same neighborhood as the Tavares and Josi contracts. I'm not quite holding my breath for that, but still. Very very nice.

Yeeeeeee it's party time

Decent deal. I like the aav for the 6 years but I think going bridge would have been better. Regardless it's good to have him in the fold for camp. Andy is next

You can't pay every player market value if you want to build a cup contending team. This is a very reasonable gamble that I have no problems making.

First couple years are essentially a bridge deal ? Amazing contract

 

[KallioWeHardlyKnewYe]

Contract is dope. Thumbs up.

Sure it's great on paper....but I'm not sure how I feel about our top line center making ~1 million less than our second line center. I would have actually preferred to see 5.5-5.75.

Kinda shocked Brisson let him sign this deal

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Sounds about right. Hopefully there aren't any NMC/NTCs involved.

I thought Jarmo was going to get taken to the cleaners (6x6 or more) on this one. Glad to be wrong.

Honestly, that's a pretty silly complaint.

Your entitled to your opinion...but the kid deserved a fair contract for what he does for the organization

He got screwed

 

[DougKnowsBest]

Im going to move forward with a purchase a adidas wennberg jersey.

What? You have to be kidding me

I hope you prove to be correct. If so, he'll bend us over on the next contract. And I'll be OK with that.
