lots of options with the cap next year now that we dont need to sign Laine

No chance pionk is getting 6 million. 5.5 at most, I think 5x4.75m is pretty accurate for pionk. So much cap flexibility though. They should be throwing the kitchen sink at Hamilton if he gets to free agency. Like 7x9.75m, even that’s probably not enough, but still they should give him their best offer. They’ll be able to make a lot of improvements this summer.

I never realized how good of a position winning is in for next season.

who gets claimed in the expansion draft?

My idea for the jets

sign Hoffman to replace Laine in the top 6
trade for a top 4 LD or sign Murray as a UFA
if Bros looks good extend him if not sign Reimer

as for pionk im thinking 5 mill for 5 yrs

my guess Copp or Appleton maybe even Niku

One of Appleton or Harkins if I had to guess. Unless Seattle feels like taking a chance on Niku or Stanley.
