Well now Chevy knows the cap, i wonder if Ehlers gets re-signed soon now and i think he's going to get a raise.

Comrie's at a 0.905, of the UFA-1 goalies that is ranked 7th. he's generally used in back-to-backs when the team play in front of him has suffered. i don't think the Jets are trading anything for a back up goalie

We're 4-7-1 with Comrie in spite of Scheif and Connor having career years. But they are not having career years when he is in net. Until his last game he was getting basically bupkis goal support. He has actually played quite well, by backup standards.
If we needed a backup (don't think Brossoit might even play this year, plus would need Chicago to eat some of his contract), I'd call Philly and ask about Errson, or even Martin Jones is still a UFA, would only take like $1m to have his for the rest of the season probably. Has been to the Cup final and seems to have been a serviceable backup the last couple seasons.

There is no good reason to expect any better with Talbot, and especially not with Quick. You might feel more secure because of their names.

His new contract won't even start in the 95 mil season. It will be in the 104 mil season. He might get 12 the way it is going.

All we need is someone for 1 playoff run just in case
Sure, but we had one and couldn't keep him. We can't get one now. None are available. The names you are tossing around are no better than Comrie. We need someone who can save at a .920+ pace under PO pressure, behind the Jets D. Otherwise, we are hooped. Just like would be if we lost Scheif or Morrissey for the PO. We need that kind of quality behind them just as much as we need it behind Helle. 3 1b level players.

I think that list sums it up pretty well.All we need is someone for 1 playoff run just in case
Which of those goalies a) plays for a team likely to be a seller and b) is a significant enough upgrade over Comrie to part with assets?
Husso and Lyon are probably available but are barely more reliable than Comrie (if at all?). Jonathan Quick maybe, but as Gmoney mentioned he’s got a 20 team no trade list; doubt he waives to play second fiddle in Winnipeg. And yeah playoff pedigree, but he’s pushing 40 and has a sub 0.900 save percentage this season.
The only one that stands out is Karel Vejmelka, maybe? I haven’t heard much about HC’s plans with him. He’s having a solid season, but I don’t know if he’s enough of an upgrade to make it worth the assets we’d give up.

Not sure why we're talking about upgrading at backup
Comrie won't play enough to impact our standings, and if helle gets hurt then there's nobody out there that would give us a chance IMO

Agreed plus Comrie has played pretty good considering most of his starts if not all have been on back to back games. Team is tired and haven't scored many goals when he has been in net .

I have no issues with Comrie in net, back up goalie is the least of our worries.

Yeah...
I could see it if we were losing his starts 6-5 and we were sitting 2 points out of a wildcard spot or something
Plus, from his "Mic'd Up" segment he seems like a great guy to have in the room and he seems universally loved by his teammates

If only there was a super sleuth PI that hangs around here

I'm a PI when I'm not busy baking spinach soufflé.
I really like your examples/suggestions, and I appreciate your response.
I'm not particularly well versed with other team's defenseman (other than the biggest names out there), at least, compared to what I knew of them in the '80s through to the mid '00s. I generally line-up the most with your thoughts - as you see it and how you articulate what you're seeing - on our team's defenseman, which is why I had asked you.
He still has another year under his current contract (2025-26 at $3,250,000), which I like at that price. Can you see him potentially displacing Dylan DeMelo as Morrissey's partner?
He's a UFA in 2025, and is making almost the same as Ferraro. I like that he had experience with those Penguin teams that won in '16 and '17, his size.
A quote from The Hockey News (.com):
"The aspect of his game that is most surprising has been his ability to absorb or slip forecheckers and make crisp, undisrupted first passes out of his zone on breakouts."
"I think my biggest thing is breakouts," Dumoulin said. "Just being able to be clean and not just rim pucks but also make plays, try to create odd-man rushes, and be able to create an exit out of the zone that isn't just a high flip or a rim. I want to be able to create something where if forwards are fresh, they can get on a forecheck."
I like this, because this was a glaring problem in last year's playoffs. What pairing do you see him on?
He's also a UFA in 2025.
Do you see him as someone - based on his age and that he's from Minnesota - who Chevy could sign beyond him just being a rental for the playoffs?
Funny enough, I read someone's comment on a Rangers' board:
love the way he plays however i would not resign him for a big deal due to his high injury risk. Would love to see rangers pick up a guy like brendon dillon who is a free agent and brings plenty of what they are looking for in physicality grit and toughness around the net.
Do you think that he's not being properly utilized in New York?
In this scenario, do you still have Perfetti playing on the same line as Ehlers?
I didn't mind what I saw with Lowry playing with Ehlers in their limited run together. I also think maybe the Jets should juggle the 2nd and 3rd lines more often, based on matchups. I think the 3rd line (the traditional Lowry line with Appleton and Niederreiter) can get dull over the course of the year, and it could probably help stimulate them by playing on different lines, in different situations, with the idea that in most match-ups, they will revert to playing on the same line most of the time.
That's also to say that the Perfetti/Names/Ehlers line would get worn down if they only played together. That line is too small, but they do get getting match-ups, and they don't play heavy minutes compared to a number of other 2nd lines.
Names looks much better since coming back from injury (overlooking that he's been productive on the scoresheet), as does the line itself.

Really would be an amazing twist if you were inanna/stumbledoreI'd be up for it, but I'm currently investigating my own account.

We'll never know...
It would be interesting to try to decipher why stumbledore would kill his account to make way for mine though. It's not even a sideways move.I'm personally not certain that they're the same person, even though there are indicators that they are the same person. The only person who could know, or those who have the most information to (potentially) debunk the whole mystery, are those that can see the IP addresses.
If stumbledore is Inanna, the only thing he and I have in common is that we have both watched Sex & The City. The Inanna character is like a composite of all the four main cast members (v.1), with a bit of Steve (the bartender) mixed in as well. The character that "she" was the least like, was Charlotte, but "she" had her period where "she" was dating the doctor too.
"She" then went on to play out Looking for Mr. Goodbar when "she" moved East. I also thought that there were elements of Star 80 going back to "her" time out West.
