Preseason is over.  Time to get to the real season and do it in style like only Jagr can.

 

Copp, Armia might be the guys who go eventually if Trouba, Morrissey, Helle, Liane, Connor, Rosolovic etc all get reupped.

Copp and Armia are not going to be making big bucks. I definitely see them staying.

Surely someone on the list will offer more money. And someone will offer more term.  How much does he want to play for the Jets.

They can dump Mason and find a cheap vet like they did back in the day with Montoya. Maybe Comrie is ready also?

I highly doubt they axe Buff. 

I hear Pavelec is available....yeah I'll just show myself out now.

You have to move out some legit really money tho. Copp Armia combined maybe 4 5 million max.. That's nothing... 

Myers perreault Kulikov Mason = like 20 million almost.

And they need to be replaced. That can be done through the farm system but you're not saving the full $4-5 Million. 

Mason seems like an obvious one but you’d need someone willing to take him. If you have to retain salary plus replace him it’s not worth it. He’s still a good goalie. 

Plus I think the jets likely hope to manage helles minutes and you need a bonafide back up to do that.  Can’t assume Comrie can handle that.

Not sure if teams want to take chance on guy who had 2?3? concussions in a single season.

Why not? Hes a legit starter on a pretty decent 1 year deal... Look at the list of UFA goalies... They are crap. Mason is good when healthy. He had a tough year but reality.. Hes a starter on a few teams in the league. Buffalo. NYI. A few others for sure. 

If given the choice I'd prefer to keep Hutch and move mason but I assume Hutch wants no part of that.

I think Hutch is gone.  Last year was all about playing for a chance at a real shot with another team.

For sure and I dont think he loved his role with the Jets so he wouldnt want to return anyway.  But to me, if you can 1) move Mason without retaining and 2) get a veteran back-up for $1 million, you save a few bucks.  But if you're going to move Mason and down-grade your back up position to save one or two million, might as well just keep him and have that luxury at that position while seeing if Comrie can develop into a suitable back-up in 2019.

Pretty damn tough for anyone on the Moose to make the team right now.

Im curious if they qualify everyone.  I'd assume they would and that doesnt preclude them making other deals.  Someone else can correct me if Im wrong but these second contract guys would need waivers, unlike this past season, so you take a risk with guys like Petan if you dont think he can make the Jets, but you have to waive him to the Moose.

U can Pressbox him or trade him eventually. 

 

Don't overpay stas cuz ya.. Hes Brian Little exactly. Move on from him. 

 

 

Morrow can still be signed but i see Jake Josh. Buff Myers. Poolman. Kulikov. With Chiarot as 7th d man so yeah.. Not surprised about the other guys at all.. Philips? Writing on the Wall when Berdin was signed

No surprises on the players that were not tendered, none would be considered full time NHL players (Morrow) or even B level prospects (rest of them).

Nope move on from Little..he has lost a step.. 

I like Joe but not surprised. He's too good for AHL though so someone will sign him.

Sorry...Little did nothing in the playoffs when Stastny was a force. Can't blame Ethlers and Laine on him..they were experiencing the playoffs for the first time.That line with Stastny was 100 % better with him on it than Little.
