Maybe it's just me, but the Jets could do worse than using $3.5M in cap hit for Brossoit, all things considered. Having at top-grade back-up goalie to fill in 25 games, along with a hedge against injury, isn't a bad use of cap space. Also, Brossoit would still have trade value in a couple of years if the Jets have another back-up option. Right now, goalies are at a premium, and the Jets have no good back-up option in their prospect pipeline at this point.
Last season, Brossoit provide more GAR:WAR value than every skater on the Jets last season.

"Well placed source close to the Jets"I bet Chevy hates it when stories like this come out ... the advantage goes to the other 31 GMs.
Now its time to start rumors that 5 teams want Ehlers.

pagnotta is not a source for anything other then maybe the kings, also think you are overblowing the amount a leak can have on value, it was well known pld wanted out and we came out pretty well on that trade, the only reliable person that gets jets info is dregerI bet Chevy hates it when stories like this come out ... the advantage goes to the other 31 GMs.

Actually the opposite can be argued. Now a situation sets up where you have teams competing for him. If a player is available you want multiple suitors.I bet Chevy hates it when stories like this come out ... the advantage goes to the other 31 GMs.

Yup. We already know Chevys gonna maximize return. Nothing wrong with advertisingActually the opposite can be argued. Now a situation sets up where you have teams competing for him. If a player is available you want multiple suitors.
I would love if they kept Brossoit. However, he HAS to be allowed to play more games.Maybe it's just me, but the Jets could do worse than using $3.5M in cap hit for Brossoit, all things considered.

I wonder if this was something the Jets let out there in advance of a trade that might be unpopular with many fans."Well placed source close to the Jets"
There's no such thing lol
Seems to be enough smoke around this that maybe there's some fire but if you rewind 12 (or even 10) months, people were saying the same about Schief and Helle
People are funny when valuing their own assets. Not sure why (sentimental?) but we develop biases towards what we have
For example... people saying that 10 OA isn't enough for Ehlers. Would you trade the rest of Ehler's carreer, including its inevitable decline, for the first 9 years of his career? Of course you would
i don't think UFA signing rights are worth much. for goalies Bishop went for a 4th rd pick in early May 2017 for Dallas to get a head-start on signing him. i can't think of any thing else more recent than that. idk how many teams see Brossoit as a for-sure starter either.
Agreed 100% I learned my lesson about assuming based off reading the tea leaves"Well placed source close to the Jets"

Ehlers (extended) + Heinola for Necas + 2nd
Thoughts?
i can see maybe pesce. i think that tier of player would not scoff at WPG (ie: nino, stastny re-signing in recent years - although they were already here & experienced the market. & then consider dillon, demelo or monahan's willingness to re-sign).
Skjei i think may be a higher tier & probably will get a lot more attractive offers. however, overall i think demelo will be the Jets' 1st choice for RD over Pesce, and i doubt anything happens to Pionk. So your top-4 RDs are likely set.
Utah has no dmen signed and 3 RFAs. if the Jets want to move one of Pionk or Schmidt (not something i am predicting) they could be a team that might rather take on one of the contracts for solely 1 year, rather than multi-year deals in UFA for a not-so-good class
They'd probably ask for Perfetti instead of ehlers. Matches their limeline better
I don't know that he fits other then being a young C. There are major holes in his game and imo there is a reason the Ducks are shopping a player you'd expect would be part of a rebuild.
I'd take Necas. His style of play better fits what we are trying to do.

Dreger seems to have been TNSE's mouthpiece in the past. I was thinking the same thingif the jets wanted to leak to soften the blow they would leak to dreger, who they leak everything too, who is far bigger and has more reach than pagnotta
I think this has been the case the whole time Hellebucyk has been here.Also league best goaltending tends to mask a lot of issues. We were 110 points with real flaws in our play like special teams. I feel the Jets were a bonifide playoff team that all world tending pushed into elite status.
I think if it was ehlers camp they would leak it to somebody bigger so it gets more attentionDreger seems to have been TNSE's mouthpiece in the past. I was thinking the same thing
On the other hand, could be from Ehlers camp for whatever reason. Maybe he's told them he isn't planning on re-signing and Chevy just gave him the "ok, thanks for the info" and Ehlers is afraid that Chevy will take the same patient approach as he did with Schief and Helle last season and not feel any pressure to get anything done around the draft
That leaves us without that solid RHD everyone's after, a 2C to improve the top 6, and it also downgrades the roster at 2LW. In other words, shit. But at least it would get us something back for Heinola, so that's a bonus.Ehlers (extended) + Heinola for Necas + 2nd
