One thing I don't like doing but I feel I have to point it out... is how out of touch Portzline is with the Jackets. Zero hints that the Jackets were in discussion with ZW8 for an extension, then it happens. I get no other media member had it either, but you are the beat reporter.
Also, I am beyond thrilled at this signing as a CBJ fan.

I don’t discredit Portzline for not knowing. Rather I credit the Front Office and Agent for maintaining a tight rein on this, thus keeping the negotiations out of the public forum where relationships are frayed or destroyed.
Exactly. Makes me think all the leaks about former players who will not be named were coming from a certain agent.
Please be true
Also, how soon is too soon to start the Larkin to Columbus retaliation rumors?
Wow great news! I was expecting the worse on this front, yes we may have slightly overpaid on AAV and I wish it was 8 yars, instead of 6, but thrilled he is staying on!

Hi everyone,
Congratulations on the Re-Signing/Extension!
So happy for your Franchise to lock up your young star Defenseman for this Term. Great to read the Positive vibes throughout this Thread. You folks needed some good news & it doesn’t get much better than this.
Have a great Weekend

And do you know what is good? Afther his previous contract Zach could enforce a trade, maybe to a team - contender with no less salary or only a bit. But he didn`t do it. Boone Jenner has signed a long contract too, similar like Oliver Bjorkstrand on January. Of course, they`re exceptions like Jones (although I think Brisson had influence in his case). Maybe players is being to believe CBJ.

Sorry if non-CBJ fans have already come here and asked this, but do you guys view this contract as a good thing or a bad thing?
I was under the impression that Werenski is a 2D and would look overwhelmed without Jones leading the blue line.
Do one of you guys mind giving me the breakdown on the d-corps situation both before and after the big moves?

Me personally thinks based on other deals, he's probably 500k overpaid...his stats w/o Jones are still really good...we are happy with the deal

Team payroll won't be high once the youngsters come on board so the money being paid here is a non-issue as far as I'm concerned. As for the complainers around the league; tough rocks. Your problem, not ours.
Good for Zach and the team - win / win.

I’m actually ok w the term. CBJ has him under contract for 7 more seasons. If he’s worth more at that time, means he’s been a great player for us for 7 seasons. We would pay him again, at market rate, or if team sucks we trade him a year early for new assets. If he’s declining at that point (unlikely), CBJ can either have leverage on new contract or let some other team sign him on a bad contract. Win-win, IMO. Not a fan of 8yr contracts, although admittedly D-men age typically more gracefully than forwards.
And if Z wants to move on at that point, it would likely be because CBJ not looking like a contender for a few years. With this signing, he would have earned that right…he gave CBJ many UFA years in this deal, and would let CBJ brass know a year ahead of time so they could swing trade for maximum assets. Can you tell I like the term??!! Maybe a little rich on $ but that’s the market for a player of his caliber (regardless of any warts that we posters see).

Some of us believe Jones may not have been the one carrying that pairing. I’m more comfortable giving the money to Z over Jones because he scores goals. He’ll be slightly overpaid, but honestly, we’re just glad he’s staying.
Before Summer:
Jones-Z
Gavrikov-Del Zotto
Lehtonen-Harrington/Kukan/Peeke/handful of others
Now:
Z-Boqvist
Gavrikov-Bean
Harrington-Kukan/many others could fit on this pair.
I could be missing some. It’s early and my brain isn’t awake

It's not an overpayment when you consider, if he went to another team, he probably would have gotten similar money.

Exactly.
I said this on the mains but what we're actually seeing is "the market." It's all speculative til the signatures are signed then you see the reality.
Players aren't worth what a message board thinks they're worth. Players are worth what they actually get.
It's all theoretical. But when we get actual proof many reject the truth as being wrong because weeeelll THEY couldn't possibly have missevaluated the situation. They're smart. It's everyone else who is dumb. Hmmmmmmm...
Not to mention most fans are understandably driven by self interest. In an ideal world their own teams would all be hometown discounts because that gives them more money to play with. Most fans would gladly underpay players because it benefits their team. All contracts are threats to their team's payroll.
Jarmo probably paid a little extra just to get it done and remove all outside distractions. Probably going to be so much better for the guys showing up at the rink everyday without all the drama bullshit lingering

Yippee Ki Yay!!!! & to all those out there that just developed a whole lot of gas over the term and AAV.. Cheers!!!! Ownership/ Mgmt just said in the most blatant terms: we will build our franchise on Werenski. He agreed to stay.. we build from the net out with offensive defensemen Zach, Boq, Bean, Kukan.. get Peek signed and LETS GO JACKETS!!!
