I think Komisarek and Liles makes more sense ... I can dream can't I? Honestly though I really like the Jets and hope they do not pick up Ballard.

A second rounder would be nice in a deep draft.

I'd do it. Then they can get Perry to sign in his favorite NHL city in the offseason.

I don't know how you think you're gonna get Perry...
Right now u have under 4mil in cap room with only 14 guys signed for next season...
Even if u get rid of Luongo and Ballard, that only gives u an extra 9.5mil in cap room...
Do you'd have roughly 13.5 mil to sign 10 guys
Even if u got rid of Booth too.. That's only another 4.25 off the books...

Let's say Perry wants to go there, you're looking at about a 7mil cap hit...
That gives u a little over 10mil to sign 10guys... I just don't see it happening

Keith Ballard has been very solid this year, playing with Chris Tanev. For whatever reason, Vigneault doesn't like him and has never given him a fair opportunity to be a top 4 guy here, not even when guys have been injured. Hamhuis and Edler have both had long stretches where they were injured, but Aaron Rome gets to move into the top 4, or whoever. I don't think Vigneault's criticism of Ballard is justified. I hope for Ballard's sake that he does get traded someplace where he can play a more prominent role.

Seriously? Why do the Jets always go for over the hill, overrated, past their prime players? Jokinen? Wellwood? Ponikarovsky? And now you want Ballard who can't even be a 7th d-man? Why don't you write an article about the Jets going for a good player for once. They need more offense.

Hey, your team just lost to an AHL team. Unreal, I want this Panther team to lose for a top pick and of course the bum Jets can't show up against a lesser team. Disgusting.
