Confirmed with Link: Cole Perfetti signed 2X 3.25AAV

[Jets 31]

Actually we got bigger as Miller will be in for Schmidt and Stanley is almost assuredly now in as the starting bottom pairing LD with Ville's injury.

Whether we got better with these changes is another matter entirely.

Miller is a step up from Schmidt i think but Stanley is a step down from Dillon.

I don't disagree but i am hopeful that Snerg might be a better fit for Pionk then Dillon was. For all the good he brought that pairing was poor. If he is then perhaps the d actually improves over last year.

I'm glad the Jets got a deal done.

Great way to wake up this morning!

Was just about to post this.

I'm sure this wasn't how Chevy saw spending his cap space this summer....

Plan A was Monahan, plan B was Henrique.

Scott Billeck and others have reported Cole was never offered a long-term deal from the team, so we know he was not Plan C.

Unpopular take: they are content with spending less in real dollars for the season. Accruing cap space for the deadline is a bonus. See how it plays out.

@NA Hockey would know, Billeck doesn't know shit compared to him.

Signing Dillon = c***b***ck Ville

For a fanbase that complains about how poorly the org integrates youth, there sure is a lot of backlash towards letting a 34 year old, slowing, vet walk to make room for a rookie

Yeah, with Chipman's comments last year I'm sure he's not to upset with spending a bit less.

I agree but it must be tough not to think adding a player or 2 might be just enough to put you over the top especially when we went into the playoffs a very good team. We did abandon our good defensive play in the playoffs but it always seemed we were playing from behind early in those games against Colorado. Helly is one of the best goalies in the league but he absolutely has to be better come playoffs especially the last 2 years .
End rant part 2 .

I have no problem believing that adding 1 or 2 new rentals won't move the needle for one playoff run. The odds suck and if that isn't enough our results would indicate we don't know how to add pure rentals at the deadline.

For me "IF" we move draft capital I want players or prospects coming back with term or team control in the near future. Lets get at least two or three seasons out of them.

Leaves room on the table for another deadline acquisition

I sure hope it’s a D…

 

[Duke749]

FINALLY!!

 

[AlaskaJet]

Let Ehlers walk. He's made of glass and is a perimter player

You may be on the perimter yourself there,
There are a fair number here who like him when he powers through his musculoskeletal obstacles.

Let Ehlers walk. He's made of glass and is a perimter player

100%. Now we are back to using Ehlers as our enforcer.

Maybe not for much longer...

Obviously no one knows fully what Chevy's plans were but apparently he had made offers to both Manahan and Dillon, but I'm not sure how the money would have worked? After signing Perfetti to a bridge deal we only have $2.53 in cap space and Dillon is going to be making $4 M X 3 and Manahan $5.5 M X 4.
