Give Hamilton his 8M

I'd gladly give Hamilton $8m...but I think he comes in higher than that. Unless WPG massively overpays, I feel like there isn't much a shot at landing him with more desirable locations being in the mix.

Yeah I think we’d be looking at closer to 10M to bring him to Manitoba unfortunately

If that becomes the ask, the Jets would need to look in another direction.

Give him what he wants, blank contract x7 years, keep stanley though, possibly add Tkachuk? And let’s get atter lol

I am as critical of the Jets GM (and coach) as much as others from the outside looking in because he seems to never really make moves or improve his team (every year they are wasting mvp performances from their goalie), but there always does need to be that qualifier that they will never be a big free agency destination. Now that can often be a blessing, seeing as how many overpay for UFAs, but even maybe trading for a player with a few years left changes the equation when you think the player will not resign.
