Jets being good should be more surprising

[Mortimer Snerd]

Regarding the overpaying to come here argument: I am pretty sure Olli Jokinen was overpaid back in the days. At least I remember it being the common opinion "definitiely overpaid a bit but doesn't matter as it's only 2 years and they have so much cap space anyway".

I don't think so. He was the top UFA C available that year. If he was overpaid it was only by the amount that UFAs typically get through the auction process. To get the player you generally need to make the top offer so it is always going to trend to the high end of the range.

Can't find contract details, so going by memory.

Jets are dominating lower teams but this upcoming stretch will be telling. We've had a very favorable schedule thus far and won't have our first back to back until the 22nd-23rd. Not that I'm not incredibly happy or enjoying it.

Is tb a lower team?

Olli Jokinen signed a 2 year , $9,000,000 contract with the Winnipeg Jets, including $250,000 signing bonus, $9,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $4,500,000.

They're one game above .500 and don't have great underlying numbers, they're definitely not world beaters at the moment. Minnesota would have been the better example to use.

If I followed the standings yes. Just tb is generally considered a stronger team. Like I still respect Boston even if they have a weaker record this season.

That's clearly turkey bacon, indicating you are trolling the population.

-Miller was a sneaky good pick up
- Names ov was a good pick up and signed here for 2 years because he had played for Bowness coach b4
- Baron was a steal in the Copp trade as well as Lambert
- Best trade and signing was Nino reider …. I thought we picked him up for a 2nd rounder at the deadline and we were going to recoup that 2 nd rounder the following year as he was signed for the extra year… I did not think he would be willing to stay for 3 more years at the same$$… He was a top 7-8 pick in his draft year.

Agree but i think Chevy's best trade was Vilardi, Iafallo, Kupari and a second round pick for Dubois. LA couldn't get rid of Dubois fast enough and got nothing for Dubois.

Tampa isn't the team they used to be. Their forward depth is abysmal, with Point injured they have Nick Paul and Mitchell Chaffee on their 2nd line.

One poster I saw said that PLD is playing much better this season than his point totals would indicate. So far, Caps haven't got much out of him but he still may flourish there.

Vilardi alone could be good return on PLD. Or he could continue to have injury issues until he gets worn out. Kupari still can't find the net and Iafallo was basically a cap dump, though still useful. The best piece in that deal could end up being the 2nd. I like Freij's potential and we need LHD in the system.

I'd say his best trade was Copp for Morgan Barron, Brad Lambert, Elias Salomonsson and Thomas Milic. All futures except for Barron and he was young. But a lot of potential there.
