What a great game. I like this Nelson guy. He's almost as old as Bo Nix

Really hope they sign Nelson, even if the end of the contract ages poorly . If you are all in , be all in .

This organization is going to be in cap hell with no assets in 12-24 months. Might as well give him the 4-5 years he wants and enjoy as much as we can get.

Exactly . Lack of assets might just force management to do that anyway like you said

Again, Avs would have a better idea than I would on these players who are realistically available.
My dream player would be Adam Lowry. I get it, he's a 3rd line centre, but I am a huge fan to the point I would play him as a 2nd liner (I think he has the talent and the game to be a top 6er). Nonetheless, no way is he available except if the Jets decide to rebuild...which they have no plan to whatsoever.
Others I would have wanted are (not worrying about any cap restrictions):
- Byfield (Taken the risk of him becoming a centre)
- JT Miller (Gets a lot of hate, but still a damn good player)
- A. Protas
- I. Protas
- Mercer
- B. Jenner
- Trocheck
- Pinto (He's a bit underrated, I think he has more to show - missed an entire TC)
- Kasper
- Nazar
- McTavish
- Zacha
- M. Hage
I should say none of this matters now, Nelson is our #2 centre, so I will get behind him and hope he does extremely well for us!
