Peter Tessier: Morrissey Signs 3.15 AAV Morrissey signs bridge deal so the roster is set to go.

Benefits both parties. Jets get more breating room to resign everyone next year and keep the team together without putting out major cap

And JM will cash in with a bigger contract after the bridge deal, as you would be buying up some UFA years if he keeps this development up

Wow. $3.15 mil per year for a #1 left shot d-man on a 2 year bridge is a steal.

Good deal for both sides.

Can someone let Nylander know about this? Bridge deals are good.

This is good news. So, going forward, and most likely the final pairings, what will they look like?

Trouba / Morrisey
Myers / Buff
Kulikov / Poolman or swap Poolman with Myers? Chairot in the press box and Niku, Stanley, Nogier, and more on the Moose?

Not with Nylander, they aren’t. You’re running up the price tag big time with a bridge.

10 games with that lineup, followed by the rest of the season with Myers on the 3rd pairing, and Maurice struggling to fill Enstrom’s spot until injuries force a Niku call-up.
Is my bet.

I wish that were so, but my bet is Maurice will just slip Morrow/Chiarot in and go with 7 Dmen.....

I forgot to include Morrow.

Trouba / Morrisey
Myers / Morrow / Buff
Kulikov / Poolman

Chairot waived? Niku, Nogier, Stanley to the Moose? Too many D? Need to shed a Dman?

We do need to shed a dman or two. I suggest Chiarot and Myers

When I said injuries, I meant many, many injuries. Maurice needs his hand forced to do anything but use the nearest plug

I forgot to include Morrow.

Because Poolman can be slipped through waivers without losing him I’m guessing you see Niku/Poolman start as the first pairing on the Moose. I really hope they don’t let Poolman rot in the press box.

With all these defencemen. Trouba's gone

Lots of defencemen, but not that many proven at the NHL level.

But, I think if the return is right, Trouba could be gonzo.
