Board man gets paid
In before the comments about "too much money, too much term" etc. It seemed inevitable he'd get signed. NHL or AHL with NHL likely being his destination this year (unless he's got some sort of clause to let him play back in Finland if not the NHL).

I really think CLB is going to regret not taking this guy with their pick. I think Dubois is a good prospect, but there's also a chance he becomes another Marc-Antoine Pouliot, who also seemed to be an offense driver and catalyst for a relatively poor team in his draft year (and before Crosby came on board the following year), but we all know what happened to him (read: BUST!). They also both have hyphenated amalgamations of two names as their first name. Coincidence? I think not! (Kidding on this one, of course.) It's always a risky proposition to draft need over BPA -- especially early in the first round. I guess we'll find out within the next 4-5 years if they made a good choice, or at least have a better idea of who's legit and who's not.
Anyway, even this is more-less a formality, it feels good to have this done and out of the way.

Did he get max bonus. That will really put pressure on Lou and Matthews discussion.

Come on, folks. It's not that hard.

I've seen so many people spell it wrong... It's the same with Travis Konecny.
Kocheny, Koneckny, Konecky etc. hilarious.
Nonetheless... Puljujarvi is going to do some beautiful things alongside McDavid. That's unfair combination.

My only concern is that he is still healing his knee and won't have a full summer of working out. We'll see how it all works out.

I really hope he doesn't have a clause to head back to Europe if he doesn't make NHL. IMO it would be perfect to play him AHL atleast half the year

Hopefully, as the Jets are my team in the West...
It was nothing against Laine, I just like Puljujärvi more. Time will tell, hopefully the top 4 of this draft will do great... as I like all 4 teams and players.

what the heck is taking Matthews so long to sign? Im assuming hes getting max bonuses and all that so whats the hold up?
Edit- just found out... Lou refuses to give bonus money out... hopefully this doesn't drag on

I didn't realize he held true to his rules and didn't give adam larsson any bonus money when he signed... took a while but eventually larsson signed and got no bonus money while with NJD
