I guess the only get some D help is by trade? Too bad to spend so much time on Monahan who is a terrible signing anyway at that term.

Toffoli to Sharks. 4 yrs @ $6M That seems like a lot of cash for Toffoli.

The Toffolli and Monohan trades ended up being wasted opportunities as we lost two draft picks. Hopefully we don't do that in the future given it almost always fails.
I think Columbus gave Monohan too many years.

Chevy could still win with me if he can get Stephenson. Just overpay him! I am not in love with Henrique. Then please get Sean Walker or is he already gone?

Brossoit to Chicago - 2yrs @ $3.3M/yr Excellent for LB! Well deserved. I would think now this team has to realize they need to trade Ehlers and McGroarty for assets and infuse some youth from the likes of Lambert. We probably need a year of 'youth' to build up going forward. Give some young guys some ice time and maybe even sell a few players (Pionk, Iafallo) at the deadline.

Wow, the cap goes up a bit and the money is flying all over the place. Lots of deals that will not end well.
But we could say the same for the 55 and 37 deals lol

Free agency is never going to be much of a help for a team in Winnipeg's situation. Proves that players value off-ice stuff (taxes, weather, exciting city) more than actually joining a good team.
Case in point about the taxes/weather is Reinhart, who re-signed with Florida for about $3M less per season than he could have gotten on the open market.
Teams making the biggest splashes are nice weather no-tax states (TB, FLA, NSH, VEG) or big cities (BOS, TOR, WSH). Also, low tax & big cap space Utah has made a bunch of moves.

So we need a new 2C. Chevy spends tons of time on Monahan. At $5 .5 million and 5 years? Why? Same if he goes after Henrique. I just saw that Trenin went for a 4 years at $3.5 million. That guy was a beast against us. Chevy, think younger think bigger.

I probably have a too short memory and I know there's still a couple of months for Chevy to work his magic, but is it just me or is this starting out to be one of the more depressing Jets offseasons in 2.0 history. Maybe even 1.0 (aside from 1995/96 for different reasons).
We can't sign any free agents other teams want, we're perennially drafting in the middle to late in the pack (if we don't trade them away like we did this year), now can't convince the best draft pick we have in the system to commit to the team he says he grew up being a fan of...hard to imagine a worse formula for ever competing for a Western Conference Championship.
Well good luck Chevy, fingers crossed you can work a major miracle to ever get this team past the first round. No matter how bad it gets I'll still be watching, and most likely griping lol. Adding a bit of youth (Lambert, Heinola, Salomonsson, and presumed bigger role for Perfetti...anyone else?) should help to change the look and give the Jets a bit of a fresher feel. Might as well go out and get Laine with that extra cap space...that would literally get me back into the ST base. Go Jets Go!

I think Columbus gave Monohan too many years. Yeah the Monahan money was ok and I wouldn't have minded having him here for 2-3 years and then see where he's at, but the term the BJ's gave him seems kind of crazy, especially given his history. Sounds like Johnny hockey was really pushing for that signing.
