"but everyone wants out of Winnipeg" lol

Great deal of it's true. Could be a bigger steal than Scheif

 

[surixon]

That is a steal of an AAV if true.

[Neuf]

Easily the 2nd best value contract, possibly even then best, on this team.

That is incredible

Definitely would be right up there with Scheif's in terms of value.

Lets goooooooooo

Wow...perhaps our most important player (especially given the state of our blueline) for slightly more than Tyler Myers money. That would be amazing.

I wonder if this starts the dominoes falling. This gives the Jets some long-term cost-certainty with one of their top young players.

Top marks for bringing in the Myers' comparison....

Oh great. Morrissey and his agent will see this thread and go "what are we thinking???" and add three million a year to their asking price.

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

I thought the number would start with an 8. That's a fantastic deal.

 

[nobody imp0rtant]

That is a steal of an AAV if true.

I guess some players find a way to make ends meet with only $50 million.

Team player. Slap a letter on this kid.

 

[Rheged]

Almost 2 million less than Trouba and he's locked up here for 2 more years.

 

[Jimmyjets]

I love guys that want to be here!

This is the same as the Ryan Ellis deal, eats up a couple of RFA years where his was all UFA years but I still think that was the ideal comp for both sides.

[Afterburner]

YESSSS! 8 more years of JoMo at a steal of a deal!!!

 

[Howard Chuck]

This just made my day.....

 

[bennysflyers16]

I would not have his agent negotiate a raise for me,,,,

WOW , what a deal for Jets

 

[Jets]

What a deal! Hometown discount?!

Take that Jacob!

 

[Howard Chuck]

Wow, at that AAV. This is game changing news for the team.

 

[Ducky10]

Wait...……..I thought Chevy was at the cottage.

I guess he gets cell service there.

 

[surixon]

I thought it would at least have started with a 7. I'll gladly take this.

We now have 4 members of our young core all locked up long term under 6.5 million a piece. I wonder where this puts Connor long term?

 

[KingBogo]

This is outstanding news!

 

[folix]

Crazy Crazy deal! This doesnt touch our cap either this year does it?
