So the Jets want to keep Myers

In my opinion any player that signs an 8 year deal will want upwards for 5.5 mill, so the morrissey deal would have to be either shorter term or more aav

Sabres are not trading Borgen in that deal.

I'm using Matt Cane's predictions, and research about salary cap. Empirically speaking, if you want to make the most money you can in an NHL career, you sign as many long-term and front loaded deals as possible, with wealthy enough markets to allocate the most money possible to signing bonuses. The Jets are absolutely wealthy enough. If Morrissey wants less term, that's fine, or if the jets don't want to give JoMo that big signing bonus, and less term is required to make the deal work, that's fine too.

Matt Canes' exact prediction comes out to something around 2mill for 1 year, but that doesn't help either party. He also predicts 4.15mill for 6 years, but that doesn't really take the concept of a front loaded contract to its logical conclusion.

Funny, since I've seen Sabres teams on here making a Stanley for Borgen deal. It's a LHD prospect with 2nd pairing upside for a RHD prospect with 2nd pairing upside. Dano for a 4th rounder is an overpayment for any perceived shortcomings with Borgen having played in the NCAA. (Personally I prefer NCAA dmen to CHL dmen, but that's preference.) Considering that any and every GM in the league would be happy if any of their picks after the 4th round turned into a solid NHLer. Getting a 23 year old with a respectable Points per game in the NHL for anything past a 3rd is a gift

Roslovic takes the 2C spot by Christmas.

I really think Kulikov will be traded (If he already hasn't been) and then Myers will play on his offside with buff.
D pairings will look like:
Morrissey - Trouba
Myers - Buff
Niku - Poolman
Therefore there will be no free agent signings like Hickey, but probably a cheap guy for under 1 million (like morrow - but not morrow himself because he was not given a QO)
Honestly, we shouldn't go for a RHD prospect because we have Green and we don't know how good Poolman is yet. We should wait until we know exactly what we have in those two.

I also like the idea of getting a RW but gagner is not the right player. Try pulling off a Petan for Scherback deal with MTL
