Thread: If the Jets Don't Win The Cup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangles</b></div><div>I don't know if I would go as far to say he is a top pairing guy yet. Sure he might play there right now but is he a true top pairing guy no IMO. 26 points for what is supposed to be an offensive guy really isn't that much. I think if you pay him too much now you might regret it later. Trouba could be a major reason Morrissey has looked as good as you think he has. He is never going to be that $7+ mil a year guy so going straight to $5 seems like you are going right to the top of where he will likely end up. Maybe pay Trouba more but I would want Morrissey to prove again that he can improve before giving him bigger money.

Here are some comparables to consider:

Klingberg 40 pts in 65 games got $4.25 per for 7 years.
Ghost 46 points in year 1 and 39 in year 2 got $4.5 per for 6 years
Klefbom 32 points in 90 games over 2 years got $4.167 per for 7 years
Brodin 17 points in 71 games got $4.166 per for 6 years
Jake Muzzin 41 points in 76 games got $4 per for 5 years
Alec Martinez 22 points in 56 games got $4 per for 6 years

I know points aren't everything but paying Morrissey $5 per would be a substantial overpay as I don't see him being as good as anyone I listed.</div></div>

Morrissey is not an offensive guy. He is a shutdown defencemen with good puck moving skills and can jump into the rush. Don't look at points for his next contract.

Thread: Perfect expanson scenario pls Chevy pull this off!
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>Nice to dream but cmon...Ducks and NYI reject those deals....quickly. If Ducks trade anyone on D it's Fowler who will be on the last year of his contract and it would take more than just Conner. NYI had multiple teams interested in Halak at the deadline and they wanted more than what was offered. You expect them to throw in a pick and take a lesser goalie? For what. A couple mil in cap relief? Please. Sounds like they already have a deal in place with Vegas to have him picked in the expansion draft. The Zona trade is not good for the Jets. And while I agree it makes Zona better, the contracts like Datsuyk and Pronger makes sense for Zona. Gets them to the floor without having to actually pay them. For a team that loses $$ it's a win win.</div></div>

This is how I know you are not a Ducks fan.

Rumors have Vatanen being shipped out. We have Montour to take his spot and he has showed he can play with the big boys as well. Fowler won't be getting traded any time soon.
