Pascal Leclaire is staying put – he has agreed to remain with the Columbus Blue Jackets for another three years after signing an $11.4 million contract extension.
”We’re very happy to have signed Pascal to a new contract that will keep him with the Blue Jackets for the next three seasons,” general manager Scott Howson said. ”He is an important part of our team and we think he will continue to improve and play a significant role in helping us reach our goals.”
I think it’s good since the organization seems to be working well for the netminder who had a great year this past season which he finished with a 24-17-6 record with a 2.25 goals-against average, .919 save percentage and nine shutouts (2nd in the league) in 54 games. Leclaire’s record is the best in Columbus history!
