I have already moved on from him as a Jets prospect in my head. Even if he comes here after this deal he will be 25 when he gets here just 2 years from UFA... presumably he spends part of or most of 1 year in the AHL (will he even have the patience for that at 25?) and we have 1 real NHL season for him before he hits UFA. That is if he does actually decide to come over at the end of the current deal in the first place. I have him as top trade chip to use this deadline.
It's too bad... he could have come over this fall and likely would have gotten an NHL look after spending a couple of months in the AHL ahead of Toni/AJF.
