They needed someone to sit in the press-box to watch and learn how to be 6'7 over the next two years.

Yeah, I've been playing around with how he might fit in to any equation. Unless it is just futures trade, we really don't know what Chevy has play with until Perfetti is signed.
My guess is he will be prioritized now. They have a roster signed now other then him and as you mentioned Chevy is going to need to know what he has to work with for any potential summer deals.

And I wonder if we see Ville traded - same situation IMO
Agreed. It looks likely to be a bridge deal with the cap space available, and I'm guessing Perfetti doesn't want to be negotiating a long term contract off of how last season ended.
Very good point. I was looking at that with biased eyes.

They pretty much know what they have in Stan - and now they need to see what they have in Ville.
Only way to sort it out is to play him - but until that happens, we don't know.
Ville will get the shot he was planned for LY - and we'll see if he has moved the needle.

Probably shows how the player and team feel about his accomplishments so far. Love or hate Stanley he has shown competence at the nhl level.
Agreed, the only way he signs long is if Chevy offers above market value and he doesn't negotiate like that.
I'd be down for that. Maybe someone will over pay for 6'7
A fair deal. Jets get a bit of a break on his AAV, but the 2-year one-way contract is good for Heinola. It indicates that the Jets are pretty sure that they won't be sending him down on waivers.
Before letting Dillon go, I would have thought that Heinola was a very good trade candidate. He might still be. But I like the flexibility he gives the Jets on D. Other than Morrissey, they really lack a puck mover on D and he can also fill in on the PP.
I am less optimistic about his ceiling than I was a couple of seasons ago, but that is not uncommon with prospects.

Here’s hoping he gets his set of games to get comfortable. There should be 2 PP opportunity for him to really carve a roll.

The Jets have never traded a player they signed immediately...it's not the Jets way...every player is valued until they devalue themselves. Really looks like there is one spot for 2 players, somebody still has to be a #9 in the role Capobianco had last year. Jets d is definitely not deep enough yet to start expending players
Glad Ville signed...hope he has a good season finds a way to fit the team, and grow with the pros...if he gets 50 games in he's done something right.
Really hope Heinola has a breakout year because the Colorado series showed how we needed good skating, puck moving defenseman very badly.
PLD says hi...

A good 2 year show us what you can do contract. Now the big question... will he actually get to play?

Ville getting the one way show me deal now so I am glad we are on to that phase. I am hoping he gets about 50 games this season (The Tucker Poolman shot) and the key is that he remains injury free. Last season our D core was about as healthy as I have seen in the 2.0 era and I am expecting our top 6-7 to miss allot more man games this season so there should be plenty of minutes to sprinkle around when you combine it with the fact that both Dillon and Schmidt are gone.
This is his D +6 season and the odds are not good for guys that take this long to make it to the show. As @Whileee mentioned I am less optimistic about his ceiling than I was at one point. That being said he has the skill so we’ll see if he can put it together. I am obviously cheering for him to excel.
