Thread: Playoff Run
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>I agree with Rooney the lineup looks good, but I can't see Chevy parting with both a 1st and Lambert for a rental.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Debatable if it's deeper then the 17-18 that lost in the conference finals.

They'd have to be extending Lindholm if they're parting with a 1st and Lambert. I don't care about Stanley but he is depth for the playoffs, if he isn't needed to be included for cap purposes and the Flames were indifferent on him I'd keep him.</div></div>

It will be competitive bidding on Lindholm if he is available. I think the price will have to hurt. I'm looking at next season and Lindholm would be resignable if Perfetti bridges and we get a sweet deal on Dillon/DeMelo (or let one walk into free agency).

Thread: Jets all in on Meier and Kuzmenko
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AStovetop</b></div><div>First of all, that doesn't get Meier. Second of all, that would be the low end of a Meier extension, will likely be closer to 8.5-9.

Third of all, why are you buying out Wheeler? Just retain whatever the buyout would cost and trade him. He's having a great year and a team like Buffalo with cap space would love to have him for a year. They'd get value back that way.</div></div>

Thanks for the feedback. The Jets have forward prospects like McGroarty, Lucius and Lambert and D prospects like Heinola and Stanley that could be considered to add to the Meier offer. I had heard they were looking for 2 firsts. $8.25M might be optimistic but my rosters going forward could afford up to $9M. If someone was willing to pay Wheels $6+M for the final year of his contract, I'm sure the Jets would give him his option.
