<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bunzy1034</b></div><div>Yup the Jets are on a lot of lists unfortunately. Copp is a good player and I also like Harkins and Appleton, but we definitely need to be get deeper there because Lowry and Perrault are not what they used to be even a couple of years ago. Might have to settle on the FA market for some prove it deals.</div></div>

If there was ever a year the Jets should be able to sign some decent free agents it'd be this one, even just some vets or guys who need to rebuild their careers might be worth giving a shot to, wonder if Galchenyuk would be worth taking a flyer on, also wonder what Granlund will get, I bet he'll rebound next season, he's a playmaker the Jets could use, the Jets have a lot of shooters but not enough playmakers.

Honestly I know the talk is mostly about the defense but if it was me I'd just make some minor additions to the backend and invest the most effort and cap space on centers, wingers and majorly reshaping the bottom 6.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>I wish for the Jets sake, you were wrong, but unfortunately you are exactly right.</div></div>

All last offseason all the talk was how were some teams going to afford their RFAs and many of them signed reasonable bridge deals and Point was one of them, I see no reason why Cirelli, Sergachev and Cernak won't do the same.

I'm really not trying to **** on any Jets fans dreams of poaching some talent from the Lightning.. Lol
Hell I hope Chevy can grab someone good from them for a minimal acquisition cost but I just don't see them giving up Cirelli or Sergachev and the others have trade protection so that could be an issue, Cernak seems possible though if no one will waive and if so I hope Chevy makes a serious effort to get him!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bunzy1034</b></div><div>To be honest I would still love to steal one of those guys potentially moved off of Tampa, they are all good players that they just can't simply afford anymore. Here would be who I hope Chevy would target in order: Cernak (need), Killorn (amazing middle six guy), Palat (same thing), Gourde (would be the best option for 2C that we would have), Johnson (more of a 3C at this point, but still good nonetheless). All of these guys would be great adds for the Jets and likely won't cost much more than some mid round picks or decent prospects given the situation Tampa is in. Even if we can't land Sergachev or Cirelli, Chevy should still have his eyes on them.</div></div>

Oh yeah they'd all be good adds for the Jets just don't know how likely they are to be heading to Winnipeg. I've been saying it for years that the Jets depth just isn't there to compete, Lowry and Copp are overrated in Jetsville, they're 4th line players yet they're 3rd line staples in Winnipeg, you look at Tampa's bottom 6 and they're mostly guys who can slide up and still contribute, the Jets don't have that and really that's what you need to truly contend, hopefully Roslovic and Harkins can be those players, time will tell.

But if we're being realistic how likely is it that any of those guys become a Jet? A lot of those guys have trade protection and we know where Winnipeg ranks on most of those no trade lists, it's possible that one of them could waive but it's probably not likely, I see Cernak as the most possible of any guy from the Lightning becoming a cap casualty and that the Jets could acquire, Chevy should be trying hard to get him, he'd really fill one of the big holes this team has, a big RHD to pair with Morrissey.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jgimp69</b></div><div>I have zero doubt that these guys want to play in Tampa. That said, almost, if not all teams are running, or trying to run a internal cap. Most teams are going to look to shed salary as we have already seen with buy outs so far. And going with the theory all these guys want to play there, why would anyone waive when they have negotiated their clauses in the first place. Killorn could simply make a list of teams he knows can’t afford him. Palat makes big money and again, may be hard finding a suitor, and again, why would he waive? I have no doubt they will fall on a horseshoe and get it wedged up there nicely and everything will fall into place, but I still think they lose one of their RFAs and if I’m Tampa, I’m focusing on Serg and Cernak</div></div>

Ottawa is broke so hence the buyout, it saves them real dollars.
NY needs cap space to sign their RFAs, I guess they couldn't find another sucker to take Lundqvist for only a paltry 2nd round pick so they had to go the buyout route, doubt the Rangers ownership is worried about money.
If they're asked maybe they'll waive, could teams that need wingers not try to acquire Killorn or Palat if Tampa is willing to give them away?
I just keep thinking that Brisebois must of known there'd be a market for these guys and that some would waive when he added a couple guys with term at the TDL.
Also Cernak won't be getting a big increase as he's not a point producer and none of these three RFA'S have arbitration rights, what are they really going to do in this weird offseason? Hold out and go play in Russia?.. Lol.. Don't see that happening, idk, there isn't a lot of cap space around the league but Tampa always seems to figure out their cap issues and I'm sure they will this time.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tsyls</b></div><div>Think the Jets would have an interesting package for him. Like, I’d trade Roslovic + Stanley + 3rd for him. Tampa gets a cost controlled forward that will be cheap and can play middle six. They also get a huge dman needing a change of scenery plus a pick. If the 3rd isn’t enough swap it for a 2021 2nd. I honestly am dead set on Samberg being ready to play 2LD. I’ve seen some footage of him skating and a few other things and wow, he looks big and strong. He also already looked like a man playing vs boys in college last year. I’d just resign beaulieu and not grab fleury.</div></div>

Whats the difference though between a 1st/3rd and Roslovic, Stanley, 3rd or 2nd? Not much really and not sure if Tampa would have any interest in those players.

I'm not very high on Samberg, I think Fleury is better and is ready to go, he'd be a great partner for Pionk.
