Not going to critize...if they like this kid then there must be a good reason. Rated anywhere from top 10 to second round but we have had great success with our off the cuff picks.
Yeah I know it was done so we could of lost ethier Dano or Enstrom. If you guys value these 2 players then yes it's a good deal. I think they are way overrated based on their play of the last 2 years. Obviously Chevy agrees with you guys that they are worth the price of a wasted year last year for a top 15 draft pick. See who we get and who we miss out on 13...shows you how much Vegas values these 2 guys though...
Well no pitchfork if there is another deal with this but dropping down just to hold on to marginal players at best makes zero sense....thats what people don't understand.....replace what a d man that has trouble staying healthy and makes 5 mil a year or a forward that is a bigger Burmistrov clone?
The reason Chevy asked Enstrom to waive his Nmc is because he was the best player to lose if the Jets had to lose a player... should of let him go. We basically blew a whole year last year to draft 24???
If that was the case then you drop down to protect Lowry or Perreault if you can't get a NMC you don't get your ass kicked for Enstrom by promising him you will what protect him at all cost? What if this wasnt enough for Lvk then what? No way Chevy promises Enstrom he will protect him.
So your willing to drop 11 spots for Dano or Enstrom huh? 5 mill ain't gonna get us a decent free agent d-man man? Hey if one those 2 players are worth it to u great trade then. They are obviously over estimated by Chevy. If there is nothing else to this. Imo horrible overpay for 2 marginal players at best in this stage of their careers.
Seriously you are the one not seeing it what's the point of the NMC if your gonna drop down 11 spots in the draft to protect Enstrom anyway ? Makes more sense if it was Lowry or Perreault....and Dano ? What has he shown that we needed to lose out on a potential LD defenseman we desperately need? And if we lost Enstrom 5 million buys us a pretty DAMN good replacement d-man. No this deal is a massive over payment for 2 marginal player....unless there is something else coming our way.
They were already protected we moved down to protect Enstrom who waived his Nmc? or the fantastic non scorer Dano....wow Chevy your genius knows no bounds if this is true...??
Well it doesn't make sense for the Jets to ask Enstrom to waive his nmc then work out a deal to keep him. Pretty sure Vegas passes on him if not...meh.
Nope Vegas ain't going after a dman at Tobys age and salary....we just lose Dano...and draft and trade Toby? Who's gonna pay 5 million to trade for him? No Vegas is going after younger cheaper players...with the odd Marquee player like Neal...imo. I just heard that Button has said because Toby only has 1 year left makes him attractive but Toby hasn't been healthy in 2 years I think it's a wash. Ethier way we lose Toby it's 5 mill off our books.
Couple guys in league available but Vegas is going to be in tough to be competitive...not as bad as when we got into the league both times but the cupboard looks bare for wasn't it 50 million? Screw the expansion teams still alive and well in the NHL ?
