Changes on the NHL rosters are quick, some franchises gained big names, other players will become free agents soon. Steve Stamkos will not change a jersey for next eight year and he stays in the locker room of Tampa Bay. He joined their roster in 2008 and 8 are his lucky numbers. His next 8 years in the Lightnings jersey gains him nice $68 mils. Not bad.
Not the legend but a rookie, 21 years old Seth Jones signed 6 years deal with Columbus Blue Jackets, skyrocketing annual salary goes from rookie level of $925.000 to $5,4 mils. He was acquired from Nashville and it looks like he will stay for a while in Columbus. Columbus tied with one more talented young player, Pierre Luc Dubois. He signed for next three years.
Big transfers happen across NHL. The biggest one is Weber ft Subban. Shea Weber packs the bags from Nashville for cold Montreal, exchanged for P.K. Subban. Yes, that D man who is always mentioned by me as great strong man who is able to drag my suitcases along the way. Montreal Canadians GM Marc Bergevin called this transfer as the best time of his life, he was very amused from Weber's arrival. He has still ten years contract and he belongs to the most expensive NHL players, which means that the Canadians will fork approx. $7.85 mils each year for next decade, Subban will gain around $9 mils for next six years.
