Good for him.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Well earned

 

[Bouboumaster]

Good depth player, while also being a top 10 pugilist in the league

I would take him on the Habs

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Good for him but I was also hoping to see the collective shock at him returning an A asset at the deadline

Really wanted him in TB but you knew deep down this was coming. Just an absolute savage who has developed his game to become an effective NHL player, good for him. Will always be a fan and CBJ is lucky to have him, this guy is a f***ing beast.

 

[Beerz]

Whats expected contract?

 

[stevo61]

Was hoping Don wasn't trying to squeeze him too hard on a deal. Like I said at the start of the season, any offense he provides is just a bonus, the tough stuff while not at all being a liability on the ice is huge for this team

Top10? Try no1.

He's the best in the league imo.

Wish we had this guy in MTL, congrats Cbus fans.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Top10? Try no1.

He's the best in the league imo.

I think this can be argued

He's 1-1 with Xhekaj, and there's still certified goons out there too

He's one of the best for sure, but THE best? I don't know

 

[Crashsunday]

Was hoping he would fall through the cracks. Oh well.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

They are right there for a playoff spot so I never thought he was getting traded.

I feel like depth players is actually selling him a bit short. Brings a lot to the table other than just being a tough sob

 

[VanillaCoke]

Boooooo urns


good for blue jackets fans though.

Whats expected contract?

Something that makes this board have a meltdown, there's just almost no guys like this anymore in the league. It's why Jeannot was coveted and got 2.67m x 2 as an RFA.

 

[Jacob]

I’m gonna guess 4 years $2.5m per year.

Yup, guaranteed this board is gonna have a freakout when the AAV hits.

“Lololol that much for a face puncher?”

“First season with more than 5 goals and he gets that much hahahaha!”

“Omg this the going rate for a 4th liner glad my team doesn’t do stupid stuff like this extension!”

 

[ViD]

He had an insanely productive start to the season then cooled down a bit, hopefully that will make the contract even more team friendly

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Nooooo but also good for them and him. He's a beaut and Cbus is building a nice team and the majority of it is from the draft.

I'd have no problem giving him 3mill

I think he'll get term too. I was gonna guess 3m x 5 but expected a bunch of guffaws.

 

[KingsHockey24]

5 years x 1.75 AAV

 

[Beerz]

Poor Dingo44

There's nothing wrong with being a great depth player lol

Those are pretty useful

 

[HabzSauce]

Oh f*ck off I wanted him on Habs so bad
