The Jets have some big contracts to ink for sure, but also have the option of trading Kulikov (5M), Perrault (4.5M), and Little (5.85M) to accomodate any required cap hits. I also think Trouba is quite over-rated. He is a fantastic skater, but beyond that everything drops off. Takes way too many pims, and after 5 full NHL seasons, ammassed a career high 33 points. I feel he leaves alot to be desired, and our RHD is already fairly solid with Vats/Sev/Carrick.

I like the idea of trading cash for UFA's the very most. I honestly think our D is looking fairly solid, and wouldn't take any risks unless for a proven #1D, such as Karlsson.

This team desperately needs to add a top 6 Centre and RW. I think cap crunched teams are the best target. Depending on who we get in the Draft will adjust who we target, but I think Marchassault would be a great RW that would likely set the devils back 2 or their 2nd's from this draft. He is inked for another 5 seasons, and has put up 0.83 ppg and has a ton of speed. I doubt Anaheim would ever trade him, but Getz is still a beast, and has just 2 years after this season at 8.25M. Big cap hit but very affordable given the two year term. Realistically, I think Tyler Johnson would be virtually free, and has the speed and skill to be a solid 2C

Ideally, we do not sign Mojo, as we inked Panarin to a 6 year, 9.5M AAV deal
Ideally, we sign Karlsson to a 6 year 10M AAV

Realistically, we do nothing, or trade for players like Marchessault and Johnson to shore up our greatest weaknesses.

Pass on EK65, his injury prone body will just degrade quicker and quicker as his contract goes on.

But Holy Tank Job in Detroit. Up 3-0 in the third and they lose. No way that was not a pure tank move.

Detorit is very bad. It can be both a tank move and the fact that they just stink.

Let's be fair: they were playing the Lightning.

If Boston had a 3-0 lead against them in the third, it wouldn't be safe...

Another offseason trade proposal (especially if we get one of the top 2 picks):

Either Zacha or McLeod and Butcher for Trouba.

Yeah let’s trade a guy that’s young, good and wanted to sign here.
