Thread: What can 30M get you

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Do you really think Seattle will get a bunch of UFA's signing for a discount?</div></div>

The Larsson contract looked like good value. I wish the Jets could have signed him for 4x4.

Thread: What can 30M get you

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WhoCares_ItsAFantasyGame</b></div><div>Too many discounts here.. the ones that jump up are Stastny and Danault.

Stastny would get 5 to 6 from many teams; Danault said no to 5Mx6yrs from Habs. He may still sign that with a team in a different tax bracket market, but he wants 5.5x6yrs.

4.750Mx4yrs doesn't get you a call back from his agent. Egos my friend... Egos....</div></div>

Amazing how a good playoff run can drive up your value. I’m a huge Stas fan but anything north of $5M at this point is an overpay.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boggsauce</b></div><div>Yeah I think we’d be looking at closer to 10M to bring him to Manitoba unfortunately</div></div>

If that becomes the ask, the Jets would need to look in another direction.

Thread: Chevy changes his meds

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChevelsDayOff</b></div><div>i dont mind moving down a few spots if it means keeping stanley and appleton. i wonder what would be better for perfetti’s development though, centring his own line further down the lineup or playing on the wing higher up the lineup?</div></div>

He played wing for team Canada and his skill set deserves top 6 minutes. I can’t see PoMo using him in a fourth line role and the Lowry line is as close to a lock as the Jets have. Late in games if the bench gets shortened to 3 lines, I could see Stas moving back up.

Thread: Baby steps

I see Heinola as having the potential to be the future PPQB. Pionk, Morrissey and Stanley all also have some offensive talent. Samberg could be a future LHD shut-down guy. Jets greatest need is a shut-down RHD.

Thread: Were not winning anyways

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyFan989</b></div><div>Jets say no, get the idea but nope

Reason is, looking at it rn.. if Chevy doesn’t make a deal ( Which I think he will) Seattle has to chose between Stanley and Copp

I still see Copp as one of the seven forwards protected unless his contract demands are outlandish. Scheifele, Ehlers, Connor, Wheeler, Dubois, Lowry, Copp, Morrissey, Pionk, Stanley, Hellebuyck. Seattle chooses between Appleton and DeMelo unless Chevy throws sweetener for them to take Niku.
Meaning they take one and we keep the other.. this route we lost both, so no thanks</div></div>

Thread: Winnipeg

Heinola can't spend another year in the minors/press box. He has to be a regular next season. Morrissey, Heinola and Stanley will hopefully make up the left side with Pionk, DeMelo and a quality UFA making up the right side. Guys like Poolman and Beaulieu should be depth fill-ins. Copp will likely command closer to $4M/year on any new contract with term. He will also almost certainly would play with Lowry. Appleton is the likely casualty to Seattle over DeMelo. Great value on the Stastny contract if he would agree to those terms.

I don’t know why any team would be doing Tampa the favour of taking this contract.

Thread: Young RHD

I'm hopeful that the Jets could use $5M/season better than TJ. Keep Harkins and use the money to get a RHD better than Foote.

Copp will likely need more both in trade value and contract.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wpgman</b></div><div>I hope that DeMelo is exposed and taken. I would add CLB 3rd to make this happen.</div></div>

I would be disappointed but not surprised if the Jets protected DeMelo over Stanley.

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 25, 2021 at 3:40 p.m.

Thread: Cap Space

Perfetti may be the better fit for the 2RW spot and Vesalainen and Harkins can join Gus on the 4th line. Still would have over 10M available to go after some big game and 1 position to fill. I'm guessing that the Jets will lose one of DeMelo, Stanley or Appleton to the Kraken.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gmonwy</b></div><div>Hall is resigning in Boston IMO. Hamilton isn't signing that in Edmonton. Maybe in Carolina. RNH is probably going to demand more</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>harshbirbrar</b></div><div>RNH won’t sign at 5M for sure. He’d much rather come home to Vancouver where it seems the canucks are already planning on going all in by shedding salary with picks and in the mix for eichel/Reinhart.

Then let them throw their money at him. He isn’t worth more than $5M a season. His numbers just wouldn’t be there without McDrai padding. 40-50 point guy as a 2C.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mr_Canoehead</b></div><div>I agree definitely not worth a first but is he even worth acquiring? Can you separate this season's Sabre Stink from Hall? This season his 2 goals in 37 games is bad, though last season it was 10 in 35 in AZ and 6 in 30 in NJ.</div></div>

He would have tremendous motivation to prove himself. If he fails to perform on this roster with a player friendly coach then his next contract will be a show-me value deal, not the big payday he was banking on. Literally tens of millions difference on his future earnings. I'd show up to work with my boots tied.

Thread: TDL21

That is a pretty rich deal for Buffalo who at this point just want to stop paying Hall to watch hockey. If the Jets went this route, I could see the lines running:

Connor-Scheifele-Ehlers
Hall-Dubois-Wheeler
Copp-Lowry-Appleton
Perreault-Stastny-Lewis

I can't see the Jets moving Lowry. He plays better defense than most of our defensemen.

Thread: My top 10 for vezina trophy

I hope you are right and the Leafs sign a 29 year old career back-up to a Vezina worthy contract during next season. He has been otherworldly in his 10 starts with the Leafs, I'll give him that.

Thread: This will be the year

I think Lowry is a team guy. He will agree to his extension after the expansion draft, allowing the Jets to protect Appleton. I would also like to see the Jets bring back Stastny for a 1-2 year extension after expansion to keep the top 9 together for another season. Hamilton would look fantastic in a Jets jersey but I think this may be a case where three dimes are better than a quarter. Solid Dmen were signing for $2 million in last free agency. Pionk, Morrissey, Heinola, DeMelo and Stanley should be a serviceable core with more offense than defense. Guys like Savard or Hamonic could be had for bargains in another flat cap summer. That frees up $3-5M in cap space to pay Stastny or another legit top 6 free agent. I also think Lowry and Copp will get closer to $4M/season each.

Thread: Possible Cup Contender

I'll be interested in seeing what Ekholm goes for in the end. He is a great player but the timing of his contract is actually a negative value. Anyone who gives up this kind of package will need to protect him from expansion with him being one year away from UFA. Might euchre a team long term on D.
