Winnipeg Jets Discussion - 2024/2025 Season

Well, at up to $7 mil a year, with a chunk guaranteed, I don't think there's a "cut after camp" option.  Worst case he's 4th line C, PK and FO guy.  Best case he jumps between Perfetti and Namestikov and makes a solid 2nd line.

Assuming that this deal means Ehlers is all but gone.

He's guaranteed $2M. Not really worried about that. But, again if Namestikov is on on our 2nd. it will be rinse and repeat last season. VN7 is not a top 6 forward.

Probably Perfetti/Toews/Iafalo... 

Namestikov might be C# to start the year depending on Lowry's rehab.

Barron needs to be resigned and remain the C4

Is Chevy on holidays. Jets need to make some signings.

[theaardvark]

Sounds like Cody Glass will not get a qualifier, was he really a talent worthy of a 6th overall pick?  DO we want someone else because they are local?  Does he have any ceiling left?

Ehlers has informed the Jets he will test market on July 1st

Hardly surprising news. He's as good as gone, IMO.

[Jockitch]

E. Friedman is linking our team to Boeser
Wouldn't mind as we really need a rt shot pro for 2nd line

[Jockitch]

So will Chevy realize that a couple of his first round picks
in Stanley and Heinola have not worked out.
Can he move one or both today for a mid rd spot or two

[Pigskin]

Jets sign Fleury to a two year extension for just under $1M per season.

[J5V]

I feel like this team is close but to be better than a team like the Florida Panthers are going to need a couple of major signings. Toews *may* be one of those signings and the Jets must have seen enough from him to want to take the chance. I still feel like we need something more, something big, just not sure what that is yet. Maybe prying a stud defenseman from somewhere as Luke Schenn wasn't that signing last season. Retaining Ehlers would be nice but not at a ridiculous price and still wouldn't be enough, IMO.

More work to do Chevy. Make it happen!

[Jockitch]

Yes to above
With Friedman, at the Draft, reporting that Leafs and Vegas are talking of a trade and sign/rights involving Marner
This would mean Vegas needs to move out contract(s)
Maybe Chevy helps by trying for Hertl at under $7.M aav.

On the UFA front, like to see Dvorak in a Jet uni

Not me. Good FO man, but does put up much offence. He also has a long history of injuries. 

[theaardvark]

Interesting draft, got some value with the third pick, 2D, 1C, 2RW... all "skilled and can skate", which is important, I guess...

[Jockitch]

To date our roster has 8 Dmen signed which doesn't include an expected contract for Samberg. Nor does it account for
the young E. Salomonsson who has terrific upside.
Looks shaky for Heinola and Stanley again plus does Chevy bother to sign 27 yr old, UFA, Cohglan who I thought was a good pro
Also does Chevy let Schenn go to waivers once the TC gets started

If Ehlers is gone, does that possibly, if he is back from his injury, clear the way for Chibrikov on the 2nd line
