<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Not true, if that was the case, they (Jets and Buf) wouldn’t have agreed to terminate his contract. He’s done with the Jets but likely joining another team.</div></div>

If he retires the jest will be faced with cap penalties. But with mutual termination they aren’t. It’s simple business. Also with retirement the forfeits all 14 million over the next 2 years while with termination he gets a bit of that money

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jzoni10</b></div><div>At the time of the draft Joki wasn't traded yet. That being said we had Joki, Boqvist, Beaudin, and Mitchell all good defensive prospects on the rise. I don't think we needed Byram at the time, but then again we didn't know Joki was going to be traded. Not saying Dach was my first choice (I wanted Turcotte) but he isn't doing too bad currently.</div></div>

Ya know, I can say all I want how much I dislike Dach and his playing style, but I like the way you explained this. Sure, dach is okay. Do I wish he could control a game in the same way that faster players could? Sure. However, I do believe us trading for maatta before the draft sealed the picking of either turcotte or dach. I admit, I was very angry when we traded for maatta, cuz I knew how slow he was. The writing was on the wall that we weren’t taking byram at that point. Sure we had great prospects, but none projected to be number ones like byram.

Sure, maybe Dach could be good. But what really sucks is that we have to face byram in conference for the 10 plus years. I genuinely don’t think the hawks will ever consistently get the better of the byram or the Avs in that timeframe. Ergo, I don’t really see dach for what he may be, I see him for what he will have to deal with for years to come.
