Confirmed with Link: CBJ Re-Sign Jones [6 years, 5.4M AAV]

Good deal, good job Jarmo. (That's a first)

Murray and Jenner were good deals. Saad was fair. Dubinsky was fair.

The Foligno one had Jarmo in a hard position. He obviously couldn't let a guy who just scored 30 goals and captained the All-Star game in Columbus walk. So he had to pay more than what Foligno probably should have gotten.

Wild Bill was a great deal.

 

[Cowumbus]

So how much cap space do we have

 

[Jackets16]

He did get more than Morgan Rielly, so...

Probably because he is better and has a lot more potential.

Who signed Cam again?

We signed Atkinson to a great deal too.

That makes the deal even better.

This part is correct. They're even now.

 

[Viqsi]

$100k/year less than I was expecting given the Morgan Rielly comparable - I was expecting an even $33m rather than this $32.4m. Very very nice.

 

[Heinze 57]

Good deal. Now I'm just hoping he doesn't turn into a pumpkin now that he's gotten paid like so many past Blue Jackets.

 

[CBJSlash]

This will probably save 2.5 - 3 million off of the future RyJo extension for what it's worth.

So theoretically the deal will be Jones + 2.5 million player for RyJo

 

[The Jones Zone]

I stand by my post that it's a fair deal for both sides

If you want to talk about someone who needs a new agent, it's Roman Josi

what would be nice is for some Jackets to get some endorsements to supplement their income, but I realize that's a tough task in the Columbus market and their history, or lack of it

That's a good way to think about it. At least it will sting less when we have to retain some salary dumping some bad contracts. This is the deal that Jarmo needed to make.

Dubi experiences Myers Jewelers, so...

Who signed Cam again?

The same guy who signed Boll, Campbell and didnt insure damaged good

Don't bring that **** into this happy thread. I was genuinely asking, not being snarky.

 

[CBJx614]

The best part about this, no more Jones OS talk.

 

[JacketsDavid]

This deal makes sense for both sides!

Sorry, seemed that way

 

[Monk]

Sorry, seemed that way

Even if I was pointing out another good Jarmo signing intentionally... jeesh, take it easy on the complaining for a minute and enjoy this

 

[LoveCBJ]

Happy, happy, happy! Go CBJ!

 

[KallioWeHardlyKnewYe]

That's a sexy, sexy deal. I like it.
