Oh I know. But that was two months into the season as well. I believe it stays a bit heavier after the break, no?
I think you forgot theNo chance of that happening. No GM would soil their reputation for a backup goalie.

Ok, so maybe I wasn’t quite right. Lol But do we expect Bro to get a couple extra starts after the break?
But he is a RFA so under team control. He will get a raise but it will be in line with what most backups make rather the current league minimum. He will need to string a few strong seasons together as a backup to get any nibbles on the open market once he hits UFA status.
But playing spot duty in the first half season of an NHL career is beyond the usual "context". That's why I think it's a bit premature to assess Lemieux at the NHL level. He clearly has some development needed, but I'd wait a bit before putting too much stock in his stats.
Jets really just need to play .500 hockey now to make the playoffs.If all goes according to plan, we'll have cinched or virtually cinched our spot in the playoff picture during the middle of that crazy March (like, a game every other day for a whole month? Yikes!) and LB will likely catch up a bunch there. That'd be my estimation.
________________________________________________________The Jets signed him as a UFA so how is he an RFA? Capfriendly agrees with you that he is RFA status but I am not sure how this works. I thought once you hit UFA status, the rest of your contracts are UFA contracts as well.

I was wondering about that too
I figure he’s RFA under the Oilers and Jets made an offer that Oilers didn’t match.
Because it was under 1.3 million, Jets don’t have to compensate Oilers
Just a guess
Not nearly enough games for me the fan though .After just coming off 9 in 16 , 12 in 31 will seem like a vacation.
Oh you don't have to tell a Jets fan how hard those points are to gain on teams ahead of you . I remember not long ago when the Jets were just trying to make the playoffs how difficult it was to gain even a couple of points on teams above us , that loser point makes it tough to gain on the teams above you .It's amazing how big that 11 point lead on the playoff line is even with 90-ish points up for grabs for each team.
________________________________________________________RFA status is based on age and amount of NHL service.
If a RFA player is not signed by their team, they become UFA. If a team then signs them, what determines whether or not their RFA again reverts back to the same rules (age/service) as it would be if they were extended by their original team.
Perreault was also an example of this.
1) WSH signed him for two years, where he was RFA at the end of his term, and then he was later traded to ANA.
2) ANA decided not to sign him so Perreault went to UFA.
3) Jets signed him for 3 seasons of term, of where he would have been an RFA afterward.
4) The Jets then extended him for an additional 4 seasons, of where he will be an UFA afterward.

Researching the Oilers forum and came up with this thread:
Using Petr Mrazeks development as a guide for Laurent Brossoit
One Oiler poster had high hopes for Brossoit in 2016 and compared his development to Hellybucyks
It worked out for the Jets that Oilers gave up on LB when they signed Koskinen and Montoya
When there's math to do, I'm here to do it!
NHL had Vancouver for 40 shots; his 281/302 goes to 321/342 for a sexy .939.
Morrissey sounds smart!
Josh Morrissey gives a great quote. Smart guy. I'm actually really liking this interview on S/N with Scott Oake.
No might about it, he is. I think there are other factors at play but Lowry and to a lesser extent Copp are bigger pieces than some realize.
