Sujet: Give Hamilton his 8M
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TooMalevolent</b></div><div>I am as critical of the Jets GM (and coach) as much as others from the outside looking in because he seems to never really make moves or improve his team (every year they are wasting mvp performances from their goalie), but there always does need to be that qualifier that they will never be a big free agency destination. Now that can often be a blessing, seeing as how many overpay for UFAs, but even maybe trading for a player with a few years left changes the equation when you think the player will not resign.</div></div>

Exactly man! It can be a blessing and a curse when it comes to UFA's, I also agree that the trade market for players with a couple years left on their deals is something we should explore more than we do.

Sujet: Dallas Stars signed Miro Heiskanen (8 Years / $8,450,000 AAV)
I really like Miro, and I can see his potential.


BUT

He doesn't yet have the full body of results that would garner a contract like this, and as they didn't get a discount for going long (as I don't think he'd get much more than this in 3 years time) I would have bridged him.

I have yet to decide whether that makes this a bad contract or not.

Edit: I think I'm leaning towards a no vote. The opportunity cost of not bridging him is too high for a team looking to win and the risk he never puts it all together and hits that upper echelon make this too risky for my taste

Edited again (2023):
Yeah I stand by this take. Assuming he got 3@6.5, followed by X@10.5 (Dahlin's rumoured deal) the overall cost for this contract would be 9 mil aav on the nose, but they'd get those first 3 years with more room to compete. Contract is perfectly fine, just wasted opportunity cost.

This is an interesting offseason.

I think the Copp contract should be around there $3.9-4.2M.

Pionk, I doubt he’ll be that high, $5.5-$6.5 depending on term.

Stanley might have earned a few extra $$$ with his playoffs, but that’s $1.2M or so.

The FA... I really like the Nordstrom signing. I think that’s the $$$ he’ll get, and he checks the solid dressing room, 4th line, PK role perfectly. I expect Calgary to resign him, but who knows.

I’m not a fan of Chiasson, I would like to see a better 3rd line winger to replace Appleton.

I do really love Larsson. I think he’s be a great addition to the right side of the Jets D and fill a huge need. I think he’ll resign with EDM for $4-4.5M, so your contract to lure him to Winnipeg is reasonable.

The one tricky thing for Chevy to navigate is Little and the LTIR. When Little is placed on it, the Jets will only get the cap relief over the cap, so based on your roster above, the Jets wouldn’t have any excess cap space (Beaulieu and a 23rd player would be added as ‘scratched’ and the Jets would be hard capped).

Nice roster, thanks!
