July 1, 20178 yr comment_273101 Mason on TSN said he's excited to play on Canada for a city with passionate fans. Mentioned how we got a team back. Said he spoke with chevy, Maurice, and Flaherty and they were honest about expectations. Hoping to be "another piece of the puzzle". Has no doubt he can win games and help jets make playoffs. Says looking at roster he believes jets have good things coming.
July 1, 20178 yr comment_273102 Think Kulikov slots in next to Buff and lets Buff do the free wheeling he likes to do. Thorburn signs with the Blues Edited July 1, 20178 yr by bustamente

He stunk last year and had injury problems, but he was a decent 20+ min a night player in Florida. Good skater and a left hand shot. He's my under the radar fa signing this year.
July 1, 20178 yr Author comment_273105 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.
July 1, 20178 yr comment_273106 Jets down to $11 million cap space. Have to sign Helle and copp. Plus little and trouba need contracts next year. Getting close to it....
July 1, 20178 yr comment_273108 MTL Alzner $4.625M 5yrs WPG Kulikov $4.33M 3yrs Edited July 1, 20178 yr by FrostyWinnipeg
July 1, 20178 yr comment_273109 Forgot about Ehlers. Someone will have To go. Cant believe they'd keep that money on D. Will Little take a lot less to stay?
July 1, 20178 yr comment_273110 Just now, FrostyWinnipeg said: Alzner/Kulikov both gonna pull in 4m+/yr. Term is ok. Jets will have to juggle a bit next year though. Toby off the books but I expect jets to maybe keep him for a lot less.
July 1, 20178 yr comment_273111 Morrissey - TroubaEnstrom - ByfuglienKulikov - Myers I like our D core heading into next season. I also like the signing of Mason. Two years of steady goaltending, and hopefully Hellebuyck can steal the job from him.
July 1, 20178 yr Author comment_273115 Nice to see Thorbs get a contract. Going to replace Reaves in St. Louis.
July 1, 20178 yr comment_273118 Myers and Enstrom could be gone or at lower salary by the time Ehlers, etc have to re-sign... Going to get tricky... Trouba will want $8m, if Laine stays healthy and hits 50 goals - he will too
July 1, 20178 yr comment_273119 2 year deal for Hainsey. Those people who hate the guy will continue to do that.
July 1, 20178 yr comment_273120 i trust the jets know exactly what their plan is. And I think they either know trouba is going or they know what he will sign for. They long term plan. Tony and Myers possibly factored out. I don't know. If Myers is healthy keep him. Toby goes or her way less. Kulikov off in three seasons. Then Buff in, what 2 years after that? Doable. Will have all their money in D and top six. Will neeed youth to full bottom six.
July 1, 20178 yr comment_273122 Interesting that neither player got a raise in free agency. I think chevy has done well.

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.

Unless they move Myers to LHD and factor Toby in at a lot less. Would still have Morrissey and Kulikov though. But I think if you're in cap trouble with a player with one year left you can work some magic. Trouba is the domino here. And then how much does Little want to stay. We don't have a replacement for him unless roslo steps up big time.
