June 18, 201510 yr comment_126439 I don't really think Postma and Odell get new deals, i think they let them walk really. If there is a next, it will be stafford,stempniak or frolik signing. I don't see us signing guys like Postma and Odell. Just don't see the point really, it's pretty obvious Maurice had zero faith in them.
June 18, 201510 yr Author comment_126443 O'Dell will never play any real time for the big team but he will for the Moose.

I don't see us signing guys like Postma and Odell. Just don't see the point really, it's pretty obvious Maurice had zero faith in them. Odell maybe but Maurice liked Postma. He wasn't playing later in the year because he got hurt but before that he was getting plenty of ice. I think they will re-sign Postma.
June 18, 201510 yr comment_126447 Myers.Trouba,Buff... Where is their room for Postma? Unless Buff i'm gonna say gets dealt, I don't see Postma signing here. I think he has a better chance to play elsewhere.

I think he has a better chance to play elsewhere. Right because we only keep 6 defencemen on the roster. Just kidding that was sarcasm we always have 8 or more.
June 18, 201510 yr comment_126463 Redmond was too was he not and the Jets let him sign in Colorado. All being an RFA means is really a team could sign Postma and then the Jets would have to decide if they wanted to match it or not, they chose not to with Redmond. I don't think Postma signs. I think if guys like Postma and Odell would have been signed, it would have been announced by now. Then again, who knows... last 2 days they have announced 2 signings but honestly i think it's enough of the bottom of the depth chart and now next needs to be one of frolik,stafford or stempniak.
June 18, 201510 yr comment_126474 Somewhat shocked by the Peluso signing but for that price, it is insurance against Thorbs getting hurt or the Jets needing muscle in a playoff series or something. And a one way deal at that.

You are not entirely correct on what being an RFA means. If someone else offers an RFA a contract and the player signs, the team who owns his rights can either match or let him walk. If the player walks, they get compensation from the signing team in the form of draft picks. The draft picks awarded are based on the contract signed. The higher the contract dollar value, the better the draft picks awarded. Most teams don't do this because if you get the player to sign a reasonable contract, the team who owns his rights will match and the only thing accomplished is you've done the negotiating for them. If you put a big dollar value in front of the player to scare off the team who owns their rights, then you end up increasing the compensation (draft picks) you have to give. Redmond was an UFA. Because of his injury that put him out for most of that one season and the time spent in the minors the prior years, he didn't play enough NHL games to retain RFA status. Postma has to sign or not play. No one is going to tender an RFA offer sheet on a fringe NHLer. They would have to give up compensation if he signed with another team. He could however elect to go to arbitration (Unlikely for Postma, and that is why you are seeing guys like Chiarot and Peluso signed right now. They are easier deals to make). Odell may fall in the same category as Redmond as he hasn't played many NHL games but I haven't checked his stats. Odell is pretty much a career AHLer anyway. And you do know that Chevy and his team negotiate multiple contracts with different agents at the same time. If they are working on Postma it doesn't mean that they can't work on signing Stafford at the same time. Different deals get done in different time frames. Those lower end contracts are important too as they also need to fill out their depth and supply the farm team. Tons of moving pieces in the off season, especially with the draft only a week away. Unrestricted Free Agents - Group 6 (UFA6) Player qualifies for unrestricted free agency, having met the requirements for Group 6 free agency. This group is defined as players whose contracts have expired, are age 25 or older, have completed three or more professional seasons, and (i) in the case of a player other than a goaltender, have played less than 80 NHL games (regular-season and playoff), or (ii) in the case of a goaltender, have played less than 28 NHL games (regular-season and playoff). Please note that these amounts are subject to pro-rating due to the 48-game season in 2012-13
June 19, 201510 yr comment_126554 Just checked. From the Jets players on the farm team last year, the following will be UFAs: Peter Budaj Will O'Neil John Albert Patrice Cormier Eric O'Dell RFAs: Keaton Ellerby Julian Melchiori Jussi Olkinura Ivan Telegin I would expect most of the RFAs re-signed this year, if only to keep the Moose supplied with players. Probably a few of the UFAs as well. It depends which prospects they project moving to the farm club this year and how many spots they need. For the Jets, the UFAs are: Frolik Halischuk Slater Stafford Stempniak Tlusty Pardy RFAs for the Jets: Peluso Chiarot Postma So only Postma is left of that bunch.
June 19, 201510 yr comment_126560 I think we can all agree the one guy we need to re-sign is Tlusty. Whatever it takes.
June 19, 201510 yr comment_126563 Tlusty is gone. Will re-sign Postma. Probably Stafford and Stemp. Forgot about Halischuck. I like him but probably no room
June 19, 201510 yr comment_126573 Tlusty is gone. Will re-sign Postma. Probably Stafford and Stemp. Forgot about Halischuck. I like him but probably no room Ya that was sarcasm about Tlusty. What do you mean no room for Halischuk? We don't have many forwards under contract... yet. There might still be a spot for Hali, especially on a nice 2-way deal.
June 19, 201510 yr comment_126597 Tlusty is gone. Will re-sign Postma. Probably Stafford and Stemp. Forgot about Halischuck. I like him but probably no room Ya that was sarcasm about Tlusty. What do you mean no room for Halischuk? We don't have many forwards under contract... yet. There might still be a spot for Hali, especially on a nice 2-way deal. I like Hali. Im just thinking if we sign Stafford, Stemp, Burmi plus a couple of young guys pushing. Maybe they sign him for depth if he's willing to take the chance of not playing much. But I do like him as a bottom 3-6 guy.
June 19, 201510 yr comment_126641 Just checked. From the Jets players on the farm team last year, the following will be UFAs: RFAs: Ivan Telegin Ivan took a Burmi and has played in Moscow since he refused to play for the Ice Caps in 2013. I think we have written him off.

June 19, 201510 yr comment_126643 gary lawless @garylawless 9m9 minutes ago told that talks between #nhljets and pending UFA Drew Stafford are very quiet at this point #bn
June 19, 201510 yr comment_126644 Gotta sign one of Frolik or Stafford. Would be a tough pill to swallow if they lose both.
June 19, 201510 yr Author comment_126659 Pretty good chance they both are gone....Fro is for sure. Stemp will probably re-sign if the Jets give him at least 3 years....I would offer him 2.8 m over 3 years. Hali is gone and Slater probably is too. Tlusty is gone and O'Dell will probably play for the moose. I'm not sure if they offer Pardy a contract but I wouldn't. Telegin looked like such a good prospect and then everything went to shite...
June 19, 201510 yr comment_126660 Lawless deleted that tweet. Probably a signing of stafford is coming. Frolik will be way over paid by some team. I'm thinking 5 plus a year long term. That's too much
June 19, 201510 yr comment_126663 Quiet because it's done? lol There is always the possibility that the Jets made Stafford a good offer but being so close to Free Agency he said let me test and Ill come back to you on July 1st.
June 19, 201510 yr comment_126692 gary lawless ✔ @garylawless Some have asked about #nhljets and Michael Frolik today - checked in with his people: "no comment."

Update: gary lawless @garylawless 1h1 hour ago Sorry, comma missing in an email to me which confused message. Talks between #nhljets and Drew Stafford are "ongoing and well-intentioned."
June 19, 201510 yr comment_126743 Oh ya that makes sense lol. A comma was missing. A comma can make all the difference in the world!
