The Columbus Blue Jackets have signed restricted free agent forward Patrik Laine to...

A native of Tampere, Finland, Laine was originally selected by Winnipeg with the second overall pick at the 2016 NHL Draft. He earned NHL All-Rookie Team honors and made his All-Star Game debut in 2016-17 as he registered 36-28-64 and 26 penalty minutes in 73 games. Laine has represented Finland in various international competitions, including the 2016 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championships, where he collected 7-6-13 in seven outings and led Finland to a gold medal. The 6-5, 216-pound winger has notched 36-41-77, 45 PIM, nine PP goals, seven GW goals and 246 shots in 101 career games with the Blue Jackets since being acquired in a trade from the Jets on Jan. 23, 2021. He has added 8-8-16 and four penalty minutes in 24 career Stanley Cup Playoff outings. In 2017-18, he set career highs in goals, points and power play goals with 44-26-70, 20 power play goals and 24 penalty minutes in 82 contests. "One of our priorities this summer was signing Patrik Laine to a contract extension.

Patrik Laine signs four-year contract extension with Columbus Blue ... (The Columbus Dispatch)

Deal is worth $34.8 million and the team will pay an average annual value of $8.7 million against the NHL salary cap each season.

Laine, a pending restricted free agent with arbitration rights prior to his new deal, was one of eight RFAs on the NHL roster. Like a lot of elite scorers, Laine tends to be streaky on both ends of the spectrum. Following Tortorella’s departure in a “mutual agreement” with the team to part ways, Laine thrived under new head coach Brad Larsen — one of Tortorella’s assistants. Laine scored 19 goals and notched 14 assists for 33 points in the run, including a hat trick and four two-goal efforts to lead the Blue Jackets to a blistering 14-7-2 mark. Laine finished that season with just 12-12-24 in 46 games, which were career-low marks that included two goals, one assist and three points one game for Winnipeg prior to the trade. A familiar face from Winnipeg, Pascal Vincent, was hired as Larsen’s associate head coach and playmaking winger Jakub Voracek was acquired from the Philadelphia Flyers for Atkinson with the hope of jumpstarting Laine’s production. Laine’s decision follows multi-year extensions signed in the past 18 months by star defenseman Zach Werenski, captain Boone Jenner, goalie Elvis Merzlikins and forward Oliver Bjorkstrand – not to mention veteran center Sean Kuraly leaving the Boston Bruins to join his hometown team last summer as a free agent. Laine won’t turn 25 until the end of next season, April 19, 2022, and he’s already logged 176-151-327 in 407 games. “One of our priorities this summer was signing Patrik Laine to a contract extension," Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen said in a statement. Despite missing 26 games for a pair of injuries plus time needed to mourn the death of his father, Harri, Laine shined atop the Blue Jackets' forward group. He is an integral part of the team we are building in Columbus and we couldn’t be happier that he will continue to be a Blue Jacket for the foreseeable future.” He opted for the longer option, giving Columbus a potent group of NHL forwards.

Columbus Blue Jackets Sign Patrik Laine (prohockeyrumors.com)

Though he qualified for it, Laine had decided not to file for salary arbitration this year. His $7.5MM qualifying offer was set to expire today but the two ...

Laine will be able to sign another massive deal at that point but the Blue Jackets are not yet at risk of having an anchor contract on the books as he enters his thirties. The cap ceiling increased only barely this season and the Blue Jackets will now be forced to make a move to get back under it. While there is a chance he doesn’t quite live up to a cap hit that high, a four-year deal means that he will be just 28 at its expiry, likely still in his prime as an NHL talent. With that in mind, a deal like this actually may seem like something of a bargain for the Blue Jackets, given the outstanding goal-scoring ability of the Finnish forward. Still, this is a cap league and one that is still dealing with the fallout from the previous shutdowns. Now firmly established in Columbus after a trade last year, he was outstanding this season for the Blue Jackets, scoring 26 goals and 56 points in 56 games including seven game-winners.

Le Finlandais était joueur autonome avec compensation, lui qui avait apposé sa signature sur un pacte d'un an et de 7,5 millions $ avant la dernière campagne.

Il est un joueur spécial, l’un des marqueurs de buts élite dans la Ligue nationale de hockey, et il s’est très bien accoutumé à notre groupe depuis son arrivée», a mentionné par voie de communiqué le directeur général Jarmo Kekalainen. Le Finlandais était joueur autonome avec compensation, lui qui avait apposé sa signature sur un pacte d’un an et de 7,5 millions $ avant la dernière campagne.

The 2017 All-Star selection posted 70 points in his second season, 50 points in his third and 63 points in his fourth. Columbus acquired Laine and Jack Roslovic in a blockbuster trade in January 2021. However, it is a new era for the Blue Jackets after they parted ways with Tortorella following the 2020-21 campaign, which was his sixth with the organization. The No. 2 overall pick of the 2016 draft will look to remain an impact player with this new deal. Columbus had a reputation under former head coach John Tortorella that it was unable to re-sign its marquee players. He is an integral part of the team we are building in Columbus, and we couldn't be happier that he will continue to be a Blue Jacket for the foreseeable future."

Blue Jackets Sign Patrik Laine to Four-Year Contract (Puck Prose)

The Columbus Blue Jackets continue to solidify their top lines as they have locked up forward Patrik Laine for the next four seasons.

I can’t remember a time when the Blue Jackets had this type of positive long-term outlook. With Johnny Gaudreau now in the mix as well, this is a team that’s starting to feel dangerous. The 24-year-old restricted free agent agreed to a four-year contract with the Jackets that will pay him $8.7 million per season.
