Seth Jones' six-year extension with #CBJ carries a $5.4M AAV.

Booooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

[Deebo]

5.4 AAV, that's pretty good for them.

Seth, buddy...

Not cool, Seth. Not cool.

 

[Peter D.]

That's a bargain.  Going to look like a major steal in a few years.

Damnit Seth. I had such great things planned for us.

 

[Frank E]

Disappointed.

Jones is literally the worst.  Also your Dad makes bad chicken.

I mean I just want somebody to sign an offer sheet now. Was hoping it'd be us giving one to Jones, but Boston massively overpaying for Trouba and giving up four 1sts would be a nice consolation prize too.

CBJ has about $40k left to sign 2 players at the moment. Gotta be desperate to move some big ugly deals.

I imagine a buyout for Jared Boll is incoming. That'll give them a tiny bit of breathing room, but something still has to happen to at least one of those big deals.

I kinda think that's better. Either way, we'll get someone to laugh at there - either Boston for giving up four 1st round picks to sign Trouba to a ridiculous contract, or Winnipeg for turning down four 1st round picks to have Trouba signed to a ridiculous contract.

They've just bought out Tyutin.

Well Seth, you took less than you should. So I?m going to live up to my side of the agreement: here?s your turtle, alive and well.
