Vermette Signs Five Year Extension
#CBJ has signed C Antoine Vermette to a five-year contract extension. More details to follow.
Vermette was acquired by the Blue Jackets from the Ottawa Senators at the trade deadline last season. He fit in well with the Blue Jackets and he likes the direction the franchise is headed.
Vermette: "With Nash resigning, it definitely makes it a lot more attractive to stick around... It's very exciting to be a part of this." [...]
More Vermette: "I like it here. I like how things are shaping up. I wanted to commit (for a long term)."
Vermette is expected to be a key contributor for a Blue Jackets team that made the playoffs for the first time in franchise history in 2009.
