I honestly can't believe he's 28

 

[Kamiccolo]

He was a disappointment last year. Hope it's not more than 1.5 / year, or it's an overpayment.

 

[FlappyGiraffe]

Good, we need more vets

 

[Skiffer55]

K, can he play the wing as well as center? Didn't expect us to do anything today lol.

$2.125 per Dregs. Not bad. Also probably expansion draft factors in.

 

[Skiffer55]

Hopefully this pushes Thorburn to 13th F and Peluso to.. waivers? Being scratched on the Moose?

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Better suited for LW over Center IMO.

Matthias-Lowry-Stafford line would be big.

He's better on the wing. He has solid speed and is a decent forechecker.

Decent 3rd/4th line player

It has to pretty crowded up front for the Jets. Trade incoming?

We have Lowry, Copp, Dano, Armia, Burmistrov, Thorburn, Matthias, Stafford, and Petan to fill 6 spots. Maybe we trade some of those guys for a LHD?

Also likely adding Connor to our bottom 6.

Had him in the top 6 when I made that list

Edit: Nevermind I forgot about Laine

Where do Laine and Ehlers fit?

Betting another year in the AHL for Petan, develop even more. Possible Stafford trade coming up. Thorburn the new captain of the Moose!

Laine-Scheifele-Wheeler
Perrault-Little-Ehlers
Dano-Burmi-Stafford
Petan-Copp-Matthias

I like this signing so much, now what to do with Pavelec, Thorburn, Peluso and Stuart...

 

[Whileee]

Crazy depth at F. Wonder if the Jets are looking to trade a F to strengthen the D.

 

[JustGivingEr]

Where do Laine and Ehlers fit?

Wheeler, Scheifele, Ehlers, Little, and Laine are 5 of the top 6. Perreault, Stafford, or Connor are likely to fill out the top two lines.

Where is Lowry or Armia? I think might see the Jets move a forward or two.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Pretty solid depth move

 

[Daximus]

Had him in the top 6 when I made that list

My bet on top 6 is Ehlers, Scheif, Wheeler, Laine, Perreault, Little

Bottom 6 will be made up of: Connor, Stafford, Lowry, Copp, Dano, Armia, Burmistrov, Thorburn, Matthias, Stafford, Petan and Peluso. With guys like De Leo, Lemieux, Tanev, Lipon, Kosmachuk and Olsen being outside shots to make it.

Where do Laine and Ehlers fit?

Ehlers ended as our #1LW last year and likely stays there. Laine is probably a lock for #2LW though he may play RW as well as Ehlers. They're both versatile.

Ehlers - Scheifele - Wheeler
Laine/Perreault - Little - Perreault/Laine

And Connor.
Assume Tanev is bound for the Moose

 

[Cogburn]

A good signing. We missed him as much as anyone when we let him walk, and not just the scoring he provided us (I think he was like 4th in goals on our team his last year here).

I hope he and the Jets excel this season!

[gretskidoo]

Helm's contract looking worse and worse with every signing today.

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

Good move for the Jets.
