Great value if he can keep putting up around 60 points a season. With Panarin on his wing, I don't see how he can't.

That's a really good value for a top-line centreman.

Might be a fair bet, but Columbus is definitely taking a chance that Wennberg keeps adding to his career high 13G. About half the contract is dirt cheap RFA years, so UFA years implicitly priced at ~$8 million.

4 more years of Dubinsky, now 31, $5.9 million also at C.

Take note on how to affordably sign a talented young player Oilers. Finally some sanity back in the RFA marketplace

Great deal for the Jackets. They get their #1 center locked up at a cheap rate for a fantastic term. I have a feeling Wennberg is going to become one of the most underrated players in the entire league

Right. Few years back it looked like a steal, now is Wennberg a buyout candidate. With Dubois as 1C, Texier, Foudy and Bemstrom as prospects at C, Jenner, Nash and Grigorenko, he fell down in Columbus depth chart.

This is the last year to buy him out at the discounted rate, and it looks like it'd be a smart idea to do so.
