Adam Fantilli is locked in. The Blue Jackets signed their young center to a 6-year, $82.5 million contract, worth $13.75M a year. His bags had been packed by the door all through training camp. On signing day he drove straight to Columbus with his mom.
At his press conference, Fantilli talks about:
• Leaving the negotiations to his agent, and what he learned about the business side of hockey
• How hard it was to miss the start of training camp: "I just miss the guys. I miss the city, I miss the fans."
• Missing the playoffs the last two seasons: "It's non-negotiable this year."
• Wanting to be used in all situations, and taking on the bigger expectations that come with the deal
• Why six years in Columbus is a commitment to the team, the city and his teammates
