They picked 2 goalies in the draft and passed on ferguson twice. Its odd. I get why they are doing this... They are gonna tank and suck... I would also. I guess teams know he has to move a couple of D and are pretty much low balling.Â
June 27, 20178 yr comment_271661 Methot would have been a pretty nice add for the Jets... esp at that price

June 27, 20178 yr comment_271676 Saw something that said Ottawa tried desperately to trade to get him back but they'd have to pay way more than Dallas. If so, why didnt Vegas take what Ottawa was offering if it was more. Â

June 27, 20178 yr comment_271787 It’s believed at least two Canadian teams — Ottawa and Winnipeg — are looking at Dmitry Kulikov as a left-handed option. He played for Guy Boucher in junior, and there’s no way last year is a true indication of his play. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/30-thoughts-trade-value-first-round-pick/sn-amp/

He played for Guy Boucher in junior, and there’s no way last year is a true indication of his play. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/30-thoughts-trade-value-first-round-pick/sn-amp/ On one hand, I agree that he probably looked worse last year than he actually is.  On the other hand, he has been on a downward trend since his first few years in the league and at 26 years old I think we know what he has to offer. He's not particularly physical and offensively he is limited.  A 20-point guy.  I guess it would depend on the price. I don't believe he is a top-four defenceman on the Jets or any successful team.  Therefore the absolute max I would pay is $2.5M (he made 4.5 last year  ).  In which case we end up with Morrissey-Enstrom-Kulikov-Chiarot on the left side and we would have to buy out Stuart or something.
June 27, 20178 yr comment_271802 I suspect the Jets see Morrissey and Toby as their top 2 LHD. And they've got Chiarot there. I dont have an issue with Kulikov as I dont know much about him. But as a veteran who has played well in the past serving the role of bottom pairing and someone to potentially count on when/if injuries arise it might be ok for the right price. I'd rather have a bigger deal in that role. But I dont think the Jets will over-pay for it. I think they like their D Corp when its healthy. On the flip side Chevy flat out said he had deals he was working on that didnt happen due to "contractual" things on the other end, likely meaning NTC/NMC. So you gotta do what you gotta do. Which is why I think they will do everything possible to get Trouba under contract for at least 6 years, if not 8.
June 27, 20178 yr comment_271817 Morrissey Enstrom Kulikov would be a nice group. Kulikov is better than Chiarot.Â

And what's to become of Mark Stuart?  Gotta do something about that albatross.

June 27, 20178 yr comment_271834 Yeah Moose bound. He married a local True North employee. He's been a company guy. I suspect he'd take the Jets pay to "player/coach" the Moose for a year and maybe get offered a corporate job. Maybe not. That's the business.
June 27, 20178 yr comment_271839 The problem still remains - if you sign Kulikov - that Enstrom and Buff have zero chemistry... never have. Kulikov and Buff would be a scary pairing - for both teams... Â they'll score but we'll have 3-4 breakaways against each game
June 27, 20178 yr comment_271845 Enstrom and Buff are very good together. I think people are skewed by Toby from last season but with injuries and his womans cancer treatment... Had to be tough on him.Â
