do the Jets have space for Copp now? On capfriendly are they factoring in Little on LTIR because of not they have zero dollars to spend ........
Well then either way they didn’t take Brossoit, they took Appleton. So that’s still just trying to pile on for no reason.How would he protect Brossoit??
I don't know if he's worth THAT much a season. I'd say maybe $5 Million a season at most. But it still beats Trouba's contract.

No very right.
Crazy that with Trouba refusing to go anywhere but NYC that the Jets were able to upgrade him to a better defenseman and add a prospect defenseman who projects to be better than him too.

And people laughed at the Jets at the time of the deal.Gotta say, the deal with the Rangers was pretty good for the Jets.
Pionk with 40% less Cap hit than Jacob + Heinola for Trouba.
Agreed. I was one of the idiots calling for Chevy's head ... how wrong I was!I think at the time of the trade no one would have said that Pionk would have evolved into what he is now. It looks like getting him on the PP and keeping him on the PP seems to have really unlocked his potential.
Glad to see him doing well.
and their blue line has been a major weakness since then. But happy for Neal, he's always had good offensive skills. Not bad for an undrafted FAAnd people laughed at the Jets at the time of the deal.
Pionk has nothing to do with the blueline weakness. Him and Morrissey were our only two NHL-calibre defenders until DeMelo was brought in; the blue line sucked not because we upgraded Trouba to Pionk but because we replaced Myers, Buff and Chiarot with guys like Sbisa, Bitteto, Forbort and decided it would be smart to give Poolman and Beaulieu first pairing minutes.and their blue line has been a major weakness since then.

And New Yorks' D got crappier when he left. He has outperformed Trouba for the past 2 seasons, and is now playing at 2million less per season than Jacob. He has also produced better numbers playing with lesser partners than Trouba over the past 2 seasons.and their blue line has been a major weakness since then.

You mean choosing copp and comrie over Appleton and brossoit and still possibly losing copp in the end.
I think the interesting thing about this trade is neither team is unhappy about it. Pionk was amazing for us last year he's really growing into a solid #2 for us.
