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! A McGroarty trade may yield a D prospect that is NHL or near NHL ready and an Ehlers trade may yiled a top 4 D or a young C BUT with Monohan gone that is a pretty big hole and if we now trade Ehlers that is another top 6 hole. I suppose the good news is - we cant roll back the same squad. There will be ample opportunities for young players that is for sure. I think the plan now may be to roll with some younger guys that can quickly gain experience and contribute while we are still inn the 37/55 window. I cant see a path to adding older vets for this coming year - might as well play younger guys. Too bad Lucuis has been so injured, he would have been a great 2C prospect with two Moose seasons under his belt (or 1 and a bit). We know Chevy is patient so we always have to wait and see. If I was the GM, I would look to youth and trade off parts at the deadline for more picks and young prospects. Call this a re-tool year.

My goal would be to flip Ehlers to CAR for Necas and McG to NYR for RD Schneider (plus or minus other things). Would rather trade Connor over Ehlers, but only if Fly re-signed long-term. Line Up would look like this at that point (w/ unsigned RFAs): Connor-Scheifele-Vilardi Perfetti-Lambert-Necas (could flip C-RWs) Niederreiter-Lowry-Appleton Barron-Namestinkov-Iafallo Gustafsson-Kupari Morrissey-DeMelo Heinola-Schneider Samberg-Pionk Stanley Hellebuyck Comrie There is a chance Comrie ends up being the new Delia and the team signs someone else as the key back up. That would leave Milic starting with the Moose and DiVincentiis maybe starting in the ECHL. Can definitely tinker more with the bottom six, but without knowing how much it will cost to sign Necas long-term the cap space left is unknown.

Bye getting Henrique Chevy absolutely i snot intent on winning anything? I was thinking Laine back with Ehlers would of made sence since we are a touchy feely team for starters? Then Chychrun with all the defense from Wpg bolting wpg? Block head dealing? If it's true Henrique big downgrade from Monahan? Maybe it's a sign the Jets are Moving! Terrible club management.

Jets signed Goaltender Kappo K. to a 1 year, 1 million dollar contract. I would think that K. K. is the backup goaltender to Helle, Comrie is the new Dehlia. Comrie ends up mentoring Mil this season coming up and DiVi the following season, Mil becoming the Jets backup goaltender after K. K. is gone. Cheers, 2b9😉😃👍

Gotta love how GMs treat free agency!!!
Alex Wennberg signed a 2 yr deal worth $5M/yr by San Jose coming off a 10 goal, 20 assist season while being very defensively responsible.
Makes me appreciate Adam Lowry's $3.25M/yr contract (12 goals, 23 assist) a lot more.

Or maybe he/she is only 5 years old, the grammar was absolutely of the nonsensical structure including the rant that you might expect from an angry child, yikes! Or, maybe not 5 years of age, as you stated possibly the 12 pack of Pilsner of an adult over indulging🤔😂🤣👍. Hard to say😂🤣😉👍. Cheers, 2b9😉😃👍

Capobianco signed a 2 yr deal with Dallas. Darn. I liked him. That’s a big loss for the Moose, including the Jets if they needed a call up for a LHD. Although, I do believe he deserves a shot at the NHL level, he’s pretty good offensively wise/fairly good defensively, AHL D-Man of the Year, good luck to him, I hope he does well👍. Cheers, 2b9😉😃👍
