both sides decline MIN/OTT trade

Jets Decline
Zero need for Tarasenko

Going to need to retain on Forsberg, and even then his numbers are wayyyy below both of LA's goaltenders.

That deal is far worse for Minnesota.

JEEK >>> Pinto
Chabot and Brodin you could argue about. Chabot is 4 years younger but Brodin is $2m less cap hit and with $14m in dead cap next year, they can't afford to spend cap on a move that really doesn't improve their team.

your right, i though JEEK was a winger but he is a center and much more proven than Pinto, tho Pinto can become what JEEK is now, i think that is what the ACGM was thinking as Pinto would be much cheaper now over JEEK with MIN major dead cap

Pinto is cheaper, but Eriksson Ek is on a steal of a contract. If we need to cut money, Eriksson Ek should be one of the last places to look.
