Or does this signing mean he's for sure gone and we're using his potential cap space... Cause JT *could* cost as much as 7- Million in cap space next year if he hits all his bonuses 

No matter what JT makes in bonuses this year his cap hit is $2M. All bonuses can be deferred to next year when the cap jumps by 15 million.

[Goalie]

Those bonuses are interesting cuz it’s basically all about winning rd 1 rd 2 rd 3 and cup final and playing in most the games. Jets made round 2 this year. Let’s assume they make rd 2 again and Toews plays in half the games atleast, that’s 500k there. But if they don’t win a round there’s no bonus.

Does anyone know what Toews’ cap hit will be? I think bonus money counts up front, but is a playoff bonus different. A $2 million cap hit would be great, but a $7 million cap hit is an overpay. 

And he may well get that on the open market. Then my big concern is if that is the bar set, how much will Kyle Connor cost us in his next contract. Hope to see an extension on him soon at $9.5 million before the free agency lunacy drives up his price to &12-13 million per. 

His cap hit is $2M. All bonuses can be deferred to next year at the team's choosing. I would think the Jets will build their roster based on the base and push whatever bonuses he attains to next year when there is a big jump in the cap.

[Goalie]

Jets still have 22.4 million in cap this year. If Ehlers moves on like rumored im not sure we replace him with free agent signings cuz the list is weak and im not sure who they would have interest in and who would want to come here even so they could have cap space this year also for the bonuses.

This guy is in for a pretty big raise, is all I am saying.  But thank you for the lecture HCB on how NHL economics works...lol...

You asked a question, I thought I'd offer my opinion. No lecture intended.

preseason schedule is out

sigh....I know this was inevitable but still (that reminds me didn't Ehlers start up here around the same time Kane was traded? or was that after the fact I don't remember)

Upgrade?

How on earth would Mangiapane be an upgrade?

[iHeart]

you do know I said that with a question mark right? I'm not saying he's an upgrade I'm questioning if he is

Bye Bye ehlers ,dont let the door hit you on the way out. Id go after Bennett. 

[HardCoreBlue]

Other than shaking my fist and yelling at the clouds, where do i direct my frustrations if we lose Ehlers and get nothing in return? Or should i just simmer down cuz he was basically a rental for us this past playoffs and thats the price we had to pay?

He 100% is not.

[Goalie]

Jets priority shouldn’t be wingers. They got wingers. It should be centers. Michael Granlund. He’s a guy I’d look at cuz banking on Toews to be 2 c may mean Gavin McKenna is a jet. Oh it’s pagnotta. So it’s BS then. Ok. Dude is the frank seravelli of making **** up for clicks.

Boeser would be my guy if Ehlers goes. He’s a scorer. 

[Noeller]

Now THAT would be an upgrade... The bread eater is not.....

We'll never sign Bennett, Be careful what you wish for. We all know Chevy's answer to letting Ehler's go will a fourth line free agent winger signing. 

[Goalie]

I think Boeser might be a legit option. They got cap. I mean, maybe you see a trade even. I think 28 and a prospect might get you a decent player.

[Goalie]

Maybe 2 or 3 years. Kids the youngest D in the draft. Riser. It’s a good thing. Salo. Freij Sasha. All Swedes
