The Werenski signing and the cost he was signed at is a direct message being sent to Jones and the entire NHL. Truly excited for the next season with the new generation (sans maybe Laine) being fully committed to Columbus! Don't see us as a top ten team, but I do see is surprising a lot of teams! Put the hands in the skilled youth! Loved you Tortorella... but ready to see some flash!

This guy is worth every penny … overpay my ass … he’s a helluva player ….

As for not wanting to be in Ohio or Cbus specifically… if that were true Ohio State wouldn’t be killing it every year in recruiting…

That the upper management stands behind players that stand with them! Money is not the problem, loyalty and honor still matters. Werenski isn't worth that money yet, I think he will be after next season.

The message is if you're a d-man your price starts with a 9 and work from there. Everyone should be thanking Seth Jones for the OOOOOOF on wallets now

I like Bean and his contract looks reasonable. The massive payday for Werenski means that middle and lower middle salary guys will get less money.
