Somebody needs to play for the Moose
the Moose shouldn't be priority one with this orginization.

when pretty much every team did something...ESPECIALLY without a Firstrounder, adn a Former first rounder demanding a trade?

Jets had the need, jets had the assets, Jets had the cap space, Jets had pressure on to do SOMETHING to improve this roster.....When a LOT of our division rivals and conference rivals made moves...and some pretty nice pieces moved...

this is a BAD BAD week for the jets.

What would you have done?

Taken a sub-par offer on McG?

Overpaid a washed up (or soon to be washed up) vet?

When my kids were little, I used to tell them that they couldn't come to me with a problem unless they had at least 3 possible solutions to discuss

yes, signing jad was their top priority... rofl, this team going into the season with mostly the same roster that started last season, last time I checked we still have cap space, we still have assets, we tried in free agency players took less elsewhere, were going to have to trade to fil the holes and there is plenty of time for that, this moose signing should not cause this type of reaction

it takes two to tango... we literally offered players more money and they went elsewhere

from what we started with last year we lost schmidt and dillon, schmidt was replaced by miller and samberg will get dillons spot while heinola should get samberg's and again, we still have cap space and assets we can trade, we can't fill our hole in free agency even if we wanted to, even if we offered more

What cap space are you referring to? The present roster has the Jets with $8.6 million in cap space with 4 RFA's to sign.

There was never the money to go hunting for big name UFA's or even resigning our own.

Chevy probably has 20+ conversations going with various teams. When a more minor deal falls into place, you don't say wait until something bigger happens first, you just take care of business and keep working on the bigger deals.

what "bigger deals"...

this is my point. Chevy may have 20+ conversations on the go...pretty much every other GM in the league MADE DEALS.

See the difference?

we had almost 12 before yesterdays "moves" not counting an Ehlers trade. which would add another 6..

there was a ton of room to do something.

we sign a GOOD top 2 guy on D for a premium ticket giving us TWO top 2 D-men(something we have lacked pretty much since Buff left) the biggest need filled first.

thern use smaller deals, journeymen, and bring up some prospects to fill in the rest.
worry about the Moose when we have our D-man.

Yeah, because forcing a trade just to appease fans having knee jerk reactions to free agency signings elsewhere is such a good way to get the value your team needs.

we need a top tioer #1/2 D-man.
We have a blue chip prospect who won't sign. we have a 25 goal scorer with a year of contract at 6 mill cap hit with 6.75 left owing....

are you telling me that can't get us a decent return on a day when pretty much EVERY GM in the league did something?

that's not "forcing a trade" that's doing business when the stores are open.
