Seth Jones, the biggest free agent of the 2016 offseason for the Columbus Blue Jackets, has signed his contract extension.
Seth Jones’ extension is for six years, $32.4 million, which carries with it a $5.4M AAV against the cap. Per multiple sources, it also includes a limited no-trade clause during the years in which Jones would be an unrestricted free agent.
Jones, brought to Columbus in exchange for Ryan Johansen, registered 2-18-20 in 41 games for the Jackets last season.
Give credit to the Blue Jackets’ front office: this is an OUTSTANDING deal for the team.
