If Buff retires, I think that might actually not be a bad idea. Get the core locked up long term. Its going to take a couple years to restructure that d core anyway.

I figure about two years, with pearrault, Lowry off the books, and little shipped to Seattle with a sweetener, and a lottery pick this year to go with heinola, and one of the younger line ups gets a little older and more developed into something solid.

How long until Samberg and Stanley join the team?

I'd think Laine would want a bit more than 9.25

Stanley will see some games this year, and samberg if he is as billed, a big chunk of next year.

Top dog by a million in jets lineup, hoping that would swing him to put pen to paper
