Confirmed with Link: Colin Miller, 2 x $1.5m AAV

[Hunter368]

Excellent deal

 

[Buffdog]

Oh we likely will. The mention of 2 bodies being gone is for Stanley Pionk(sounds like a pervert in some B movie).
They are absolutely hell bent on keeping Stanley and HF Jets hive unit would be apoplectic if Lundmark was lost to waivers without first seeing if he's the second coming of Teppo Numminen (rightly so) so 8 it is . Heinola absolutely needs to be paired with a veteran D and not that chaos giraffe Stanley.

Plus I can't think of anyone who would be the 14th F that would require waivers (until they sign a gud-vet)

 

[Guardian17]

Maybe he'll get a chance to play this time.

 

[KingBogo]

Interesting signing. Looks like the Jets will be carrying 8 d-man this season, Nice depth pickup though to help shield Lundmark.

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

Translates to a zillion dollars to minute played.

 

[Duke749]

I think we can live with that. Low cap hit which continues to give us flexibility. And we desperately needed another right shot defenseman.

Ok I’m totally out of the loop. Who’s Lundmark? lol

 

[Duke749]

Having him start the season with us should be a big benefit for us.

 

[one other person]

We just added a 6/7 forward at a bargain price. Chevy is a genius

Myers = chaos giraffe
Stanley = chaos giraffe junior

Surprised but pleased with the signing. After giving him the Hayes treatment I thought he would be gone.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

That just means Pionk plays less. All for it.

Mossey - Melo
Snerg - Pionk
Heinola - Miller
Stanley

I could get behind that.

3rd pair looking much better today than yesterday.

Morrissey-DeMelo
Samberg-Pionk
Heinola-Miller
Stanley-Lundmark

Still 2 bodies that should be gone. Hopefully 1 of the 2 are gone at least by TC, either via a trade, or due to another signing and the other is dropped off at the perimeter and told to **** off.

Wish you would name names. I can't figure out who you are talking about.

 

[WolfHouse]

The pick we traded to NJD was flipped by them to the Habs for Kovacevic... so in the end this ended up being a Kovacevic for Miller trade

Now I'm actually okay with that haha

 

[KingBogo]

Ok I’m totally out of the loop. Who’s Lundmark? lol

I just think they give Lundmark his opportunity this season. A mid 2nd round pick in 2019 and just about off everyone's radar. He is a big RHD, but very much a defensive defenseman. He skates well and makes good short transition plays, but there is next to no offense in his game. The Jets qualified him this year, and Chevy commented in his presser on how the organization is impressed about his overall growth season over season. IMO he is a better prospect then Kovy and Chisholm that this board lost its shit about, but for some reason he is the forgotten prospect.

Not sure he's better than Chisholm from what I've seen.

That first pairing is an absolute tire fire. Stanley/Pionk is championship top pairing material. ECHL, but still.

 

[KingBogo]

Not sure he's better than Chisholm from what I've seen.

I think the organization likes his game more. He can be a steady, defensive 3rd pairing RHD who is your PK guy that you can plug in and not have to worry about for a decade.

 

[Slimy Sculpin]

I could see us carrying 2 D in the press box.

As long as one of them is Stanley.

 

[surixon]

I think the organization likes his game more. He can be a steady, defensive 3rd pairing RHD who is your PK guy that you can plug in and not have to worry about for a decade.

Well yeah, this org has a very hard time with risk and have consistiently chosen the low upside so called safe piece to fill depth positions.

I'll be honest I don't see an NHL player in Lundmark.

So, are you implying that Bowness did not like him? I certainly could not figure out why he wasn't used after he was acquired last season. I agree about him as a solid 3rd pairing guy.

Oh we likely will. The mention of 2 bodies being gone is for Stanley Pionk(sounds like a pervert in some B movie).

We will see, as I think he will be on the roster next season. I have more hope for him to grow as I think there is enough of a skill set there.

 

[gojetsgo]

hopefully the second year means that if they feel salomonsson is ready then they don't try to re-sign pionk next season

 

[surixon]

I'm not sure either that is good or bad for his development. As we've seen the last number of years our number 8 dmen barely gets into any games.

After you play out your ELC, any development concerns kind of get thrown out the window. You either are on the roster or you aren't, even if it is the PB, or you are set free to anyone who wants to take a chance on you. As an aside, I never mind losing someone on waivers as it is great for players not to get burried.

 

[raideralex99]

Good signing especially when teams are paying $3-4M for a 3rd pairing defenseman today.
Imo I think the only reason Bones did not play Miller more is Bones doesn’t like to change the lineups that much.
I am surprised Miller signed here but I guess he liked practicing with the guys and got along with them.

 

[WaveRaven]

This really speaks to the quality of our Press Box.
