Derek Dorsett signs three-year contract extension with Blue Jackets

The Columbus signed forward to a three-year contract extension on Wednesday, keeping him from hitting the restricted free agent market this summer. The team did not release the financial terms of the contract, but his last deal Willie Snead IV Jersey carried a cap hit of just over $562,000.The 25- K.J. Wright Jersey year-old forward is coming off a career year with the Blue Jackets, scoring 12 goals to go with eight a sists in 77 games. He also led the NHL with 235 penalty minutes, mostly due to his willingne s to fight. He dropped the gloves 19 times this past season, and he appears to Desmond Trufant Jersey be completely fearle s and always ready to go up against the NHL’s top heavyweights.Take, for example, the time earlier this year he DeSean Jackson Jersey thought it would be a good idea to fight John Scott of the Chicago Blackhawks, a moment that produced one of the most absurd highlights of the entire season.Truthfully, nobody should ever fight John Scott because he is capable of crushing everybody Maxx Crosby Jersey . But if Dorsett is willing to go after him, who he challenge? That’s the type of hockey and energy that you get with Dorsett, and it’s probably one of the reasons Columbus wanted to keep him around for another three years.
