I don't see how your percentages go up any if you plan on picking a player from the last game and you make the pick today or make the pick right before the last game starts.

Might need some depth pieces for the Moose / callups. I would guess Sgarbossa ends up going to the Moose, Copp centres the 4th line with Connor / Lemieux / Petan, but there are some nice young pieces on the Moose that will be used for injury callups. Can see some more depth D signings for the Moose. Wondering if Nosier and Poolman would be the first to get their chance with injury callus.

Washington signs Kuznetsov to an 8 year $62.4M deal. $7.8M AAV.

Standings are below. Picks this week need to be in by Thursday @ 6:30PM

I'm thinking it is something on your end as there are 20 people in chat. The chat server does connect to a different IP then where the website is hosted so that may be being blocked on your end.

Don't think you afford little on that kind of term if you are signing Trouba and Ehlers long term as Laine will only be a year behind them with his ELC expiring.

Jets sign centre Michael Sgarbossa for 1 year 650k. Played 38 game with Florida and Anaheim last year. Signed for the Moose and depth callup?

Hoping the Kulikov signing doesn't come back to hurt us. $3M AAV instead of $4M would have been better. Hopefully he can return to form and play up to the contract. If Trouba extends, could see Myers getting traded. Can't have that money playing on your 3rd pairing.

Vegas has so far signed 0 free agents.

Nice to see Thorbs get a contract. Going to replace Reaves in St. Louis.

Jets now sitting at $63.7M and 11.2M of cap space open Tanev, Copp, and Hellebuyck all RFAs to sign. I'd expect around $5M to sign all 3. Trouba, Lowry, Armia, Ehlers , Dano, Petan all RFAs next year. Enstrom coming off the books. Little going to be a UFA. Could very well be Little's last year as a Jet with all those other guys to sign.

Anything is possible.

What? You should know Jets fans better than that. If we close this thread now, it will just have to be re-opened in October after he plays his fist game

No different then Pronger the last two years and he got a job with the league while still getting paid for the last 3 years of his contract. Don't think the NHL has a problem with this sort of thing, and I don't think you can really punish the team for a player that has a valid condition that stops them from playing.

Why? Are you saying you don't believe his has the condition that he has?

Pavelec was carrying a cap hit of $3.9M. Hellebuyck is likely to sign a relatively cheap deal as he has just come off his ELC and hasn't earned a big bump in salary. If Mason signs for 2 years @ $4M, cap wise it is pretty much a lateral move from what we had invested in goal tending last season.

Who knew there was a limit .... who knew someone would hit 100 in a day. Limit is gone.

Start planning for Laine in 2 years. I don't think he will get that kind of McDavid money, but if the Jets want to sign him up for 8, it isn't going to be cheap.

With a tie and some upsets this week (as compared to the majority pick), many didn't have a very good Week 1. Congrats to Sard for getting 3 picks. Picks need to be in this week by Thursday @ 8PM.

Before we go another dozen pages on rehashing the same argument.... Group 1 Group 2 No one is going to change the others mind. It is fine for each group to either like what the Jets did in expansion or not like it. What's done is done ... can we move on now?

I heard Chevy's comments, and while I think they had a number of players that they would have looked at around 13 and they had Vesalainen rated higher than they took him, I don't really believe he was "the guy" they wanted at 13 prior to trading the pick. I have no issues with them moving down, but I think we would have gotten a much different player at 13, my guess is a D-Man. It is turning out that defensemen are THE commodity to have in the NHL. Can't have enough of them for your team and if you have too many of them, you can get great trade value to supplement your forwards if you need to. However the value of Vesalainen was much higher then the defensemen left at 24.

Jets pick Dylan Samberg. Big LHD. http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=201527

Only one person ever picked a tie last season (incorrectly) and they are so rare, wasn't going to bother this year with ties. If there is a tie, no one gets a point. No. No strikes in the Pick 'Ems, so that wouldn't work.
