I often wonder what planet you come from
At a guess -- "ibbles" are a thing there.
Love Pionk, really like the deal. Under 6m for an excellent PMB locked in this this contention window who hits like a wee truck and has only gotten better as he's matured and has proven both resilient and durable since he's been here. Probably my fave D to watch of late -- count the number of times players come out of a tussle with him and shake their heads. If he was 6' 4" he'd be in the Jones range.

Good signing. Lines him up with the Helle/Ehlers/Scheifele contract window, would have like a couple of extra years but good deal nonetheless.

Great signing. Shows that chevy still wants to sign copp long(er) term, or bring in some help up front if he can afford to.

Starting D set for multiple years with Pionks extension, gives the Jets plenty of time to see what they have with Heinola and Samberg

Yeah I don't get it.
You now have half your money riding on Dubois, Wheeler, Statsny.
Two old guys and an unproven fella.
This forward group looks like it's gonna be hella weak if they get caught up with the injury bug.
I can only assume they're about to do some wild trades.
I'm cool with this cause it also sets them up for a massive sell off if things aren't working out which could also be fun in a different way haha.

Hard not to like this deal. Good cap hit for Pionk's play, especially with the deals out there. He can sign another deal when he turns 31 which could work again for both sides, or maybe we have some other depth at that point and don't need to re-up.
Still some work to do for Chevy and Co to possibly get Copp signed, and fit everything under the cap. But this definitely helps IMO.

It looks a little better than it is because of the 4 year term. If we had gone 6 or 7 years like most of us wanted you likely see it up in the $6.5 range. But Chevy got it done and left us some room for a little bit more.

Connor Scheif Ehlers but sure ok. Always something. Wheeler played all year with cracked ribs and still put up 46 points in 50 games... more points than he had in the shortened 2012 2013 season. Stastny? He's a leader and the Ying to wheelers yang. Dubois? At what point do ppl just remember he had a 2 week quarantine and was also banged up. Last season was not normal
Hey... after this signing... I'm off to Southwood to to meet Chevy and start drinking early...
Cheers all... !!!

Pretty funny how the Trouba situation ended up working out.
He refused to go anywhere but NYC, and really, if the Rangers had any patience would’ve headed there a year later in free agency but Chevy managed to upgrade him into a superior defenseman in Pionk AND sign Pionk through the window at a rate less than Trouba. Oh yeah, AND he got Heinola in the deal who projects to be better than Trouba.
More than makes up for the Hayes trade fiasco, IMO.

Guys are in their mid 30s. The odds at least one of them has a drop in performance this year is huge, not to mention getting injured.
Dubois would be great if we don't become entirely dependent on him for 2nd line production.

Great deal overall, amazing deal compared to some of the other contracts handed out to D this summer.
Well, they have a Vezina winner as the starter. Comrie only has to adequate for ~20 games. And if he falters they’ll just bring in a waiver wire/journeyman backup.

If you say so, I'll trust you on this.
Comire seems completely unproven at the nhl level from what cap friendly tells me.
I have to admit with a stack d corp they can survive with a lessor goalie.
EDIT: For the record I forgot how many young forwards we had.

Rather the AAV in the low 5m range but after some of the contracts dished out this year for defencemen this contract at lease is not a major overpay. Really like the term.
As for Chevy, he is light years a better GM then either of those losers.
No matter what happens with Copp, Chevy is all in to win a cup.
If Copp wants more then 4m trade him for picks and prospects or a cheaper replacement.
