-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Preds sign Seth Jones to entry-level deal: Nashville has locked up Seth Jones — its first-round pick from the 2013 NHL Entry Draft — to an entry-level deal: three years, $9.675 million. “Seth is a special prospect and we were fortunate to be in position to select him,” Preds GM David Poile said in a statement. “As a player, he brings so much to our organization, from size you can’t teach to a skill set that every team hopes to add and a personality and maturity that will allow him to grow and develop with our veteran core and other young players. “He has excelled at the junior and international levels and we anticipate him enjoying great success at the NHL level.” Jones will make a base salary of $925,000 over the course of the entry-level deal but, with the maximum rookie contract signing bonuses, will carry an average annual salary cap number of $3.225 million. The deal is reasonably close to what the first overall selection at the ’13 Draft — Nathan MacKinnon — received from the Colorado Avalanche. MacKinnon’s deal is a three-year, $11.325 million entry-level contract with the same base salary ($925,000) but additional player and signing bonuses. Jones is expected to compete for a spot on the Preds blueline next season, and is currently participating in Nashville’s summer prospect camp. http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2013/07/10/preds-sign-seth-jones-to-entry-level-deal/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
