Who would you go after if you were Chevy and you only have one to choose? Cannot have rights owned by Jets in 2014-2015.

 

For me, the RFA would be Huberdeau.

Not many UFAs worth chasing this year but I think it would be Andrej Meszaros.

 

25m for 6 years for Huberdeau and 15m for 4 years for Meszaros.

really? oh right I forgot, Petan and Ehlers and Morrisey is joining the team next season

Maybe maybe not. But these guys gonna get massively overpaid. Happens every year. Chevy doesn't seem to be the type to over pay for free agents. Rather just sign our own guys if we can and promote from with in really. Regardless Winnipeg still isn't the ideal location for most players.

they kind of overpaid Pavelec but he has been showing results, good results. results that make it worth the 20 mil for five years

 

But EPM better show some results on the NHL ice if they are going to be overpaid (I mean Crosby is making what 120 mil to stay on the team for 12 years?)

I doubt they sign anyone of relevance...if they lose stemp, Stafford and frolik they may sign a jobber like they have in the past like Galiardi

Finding another Perrault would be nice.

so we go duck hunting again?

Peluso signs 2 years with the Jets. 675000 aav so not bad.

Im a bit surprised at the Peluso signing.  I thought they'd let him walk and go without a traditional enforcer.  Good for him though. 

so we're keeping Peluso (should we live chat the draft next week? on here?)

I;m shocked at the signing. Thorburn seems to have more speed and and dare i say more offensive capabilities for a hired gun then Peluso.

 

675k the new NHL low?

Peluso wins his fights. Is younger than thorburn too. Fishbowl much tho..Ppl online going off at how they shouldn't have signed him. He's depth at nhl minimum.

Yeah its a depth guy.  I dont have a problem with it.  He's not playing every game.  He's a small priced player that plays well in his role when he dresses.  We went too long without a 4th line.  If Copp is an improvement at 4C and Thoburn/Peluso take turns dressing, so what.  Small price.

Peluso is better with the puck then Thorburn he also is a good locker room guy from what I heard.

Great size and passable skating. He also has decent hands for a 4th liner enforcer. Probably a top 3 fighter in the league. Takes way too many bad penalties though and doesn't seem to have much for hockey sense. Overall, I'm happy with this signing. He'll probably be in the press box for most of the season anyways.

#NHLJets sign RFA Ben Chiarot to a new two-year contract worth an AAV of $850,000. #bn

Great value for him imo.

Great value for him imo.

Absolutely.  He played very well.  And made Buff play better when they were paired together.

 

it makes our RHD depth pretty solid too:

 

Enstrom

Stuart

Chiarot

Morrissey

 

Question: I know once Chiarot was re-called last season, they would have to waive him to send him back down so they didnt risk it.  Can they assign a player to the Moose before the season without waivers?  I would think Chiarot would start with the Moose and be the first call up but if they need waivers, then he's staying up.  And that means the Jets have a glut of mid-low D-men.

Do you think Morissey is going to be starting over Chiarot day 1?

 

I would think it'd be the opposite. Chiarot has already proven he can play in the NHL and has shown himself as serviceable. Can see Morissey going down and getting his chance on an injury call up.

 

I haven't seen details of the contract, but with the lower dollar value, wouldn't be surprised if it was a one-way deal. Meaning they would have pay Chiarot full value if he were in the minors, while that isn't the case for Morissey.

I think Morrissey will season with the Moose for awhile.  One of the RHD might switch to the LHD side.  Plus we have Harrisson, Clitsome (who is likely done anyway).  I guess maybe "glut" isnt the right word to use...

Well. Considering hutch and Chiarot are gonna be at the met for their draft party. This was obvious. Good deal. See if he's legit or last year was a fluke

Getting Chiarot for less than 1mm seems like a really good value to me. That guy showed some ability down the stretch and in the playoffs. Nice get, Chevy...

My thoughts are getting anyone for under a million is a good value. Maybe it's an arbitrary benchmark but anything under a million for a guy who can play even a little bit at the NHL level is just a no brainer deal to make. 

so we're keeping chariot as well. if only I wasn't busy on the 1st I would be taking full focus on FAF that day because that's where the shocking ones come at it. I don't even have a tablet or smart phone

Great price, good player.

Morrisey would have to be REALLY good in TC to start with the big team... I think Chiarot is a better D-man than Stuart.

Who knows though, Enstrom and/or Stuart might not even be a Jet come TC.

Somewhat shocked by the Peluso signing but for that price, it is insurance against Thorbs getting hurt or the Jets needing muscle in a playoff series or something.

O'Dell and Postma next?

I don't really think Postma and Odell get new deals, i think they let them walk really. If there is a next, it will be stafford,stempniak or frolik signing. I don't see us signing guys like Postma and Odell. Just don't see the point really, it's pretty obvious Maurice had zero faith in them.
