Long term is a relative word. Cause 3 years in the NHL is a long time. That said, I really believe if the jets have any chance of competing in the central and the west for a cup, they need to get morrissey and ehlers on bridge deals. Ehlers i used the kucherov comparable rounded up to $4.8million. Morrissey is not really a comparible that I used, but it's a number I feel is a good bridge price for an up and coming D who's gonna be playing with Trouba.

Trouba, you're gonna have to pay for if you wanna keep him. Byfuglien money and 7 years is what it'll take I think.

Roslovic is not ready to take on his future 2nd line centre role. Re sign little at 2 years and $5.5 I think is a good deal and if roslovic comes sooner than later you can inter change the 2 between 2nd and 3rd line and Bjugstad can go to the wing.

Lowry should be 3rd line but with the talent in front of him, 4th line isn't a bad place when you can roll 4 lines consistently. Without hesitation. He'll get his minutes either way and be that tough physical defensive 2 way player that he is.

Finally a byfuglien trade to Florida, for Bjugstad. Florida doesn't seem to have a lot of good D prospects and for 3 more years the same as Bjugstad it might be better suited to have stability in the back end in the short term.

Lastly, with Laine expected to get $10Million+ after this current contract, I really think these moves allow the jets with a good amount of flexibility going forward especially with wheeler, and Connor needing new contracts coming at the same time. Even resigning Myers would not be out of the question for the right price.

These are my thoughts anyone else care to chime in?
