I guess not. As I understand it, Tampa Bay retained $1.6M of his $4.8M salary when he was traded to Arizona (and then Arizona flipped him to Philly), so his cap hit is around $3.2M. This is the last year of his deal. 2 goals 3 assists in 18 games this year. 15 goals 26 assists in 81 games last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostyWinnipeg Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Chevy seems scared at picking up waiver guys now. 2 goals. That's 3rd line material for us. Ducky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted December 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Yeah, not a normal type of want for the Jets but just feeling that with Scheif hurt, they might want a bit more depth. But I guess they are happy with Lowry and Armia and Hali from the Moose. And so far so good. Unless you want to score Austin Matthews. Then it's bad.

Goalie Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 29 other teams and some with bigger problems than the Jets never picked up these guys either. What that does tell you really...

17to85 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 On 25/12/2015 at 11:54 AM, Goalie said: Probably but I'm not sure that the jets would have interest in him. He's a center. Him and Scheif are similar... Scheif better defensively tho. I'm not sure that I see the need for another center tho. He doesn't play the wing. I think Eberle or yakupov tho would be 2 guys of interest to the jets. Maybe Eberle more so since he's a somewhat proven goal scorer. And b4 people chime in with the you wouldn't get Eberle or Yakupov plus a first for Buff.... I'll bet you would. .... RNH eh. I guess maybe if it's Buff Burmi going to Edmonton. That might get you RNH and the 1st. Trust me... Buff will get more than ppl think he will. A first is a given.... no doubt about a first..... I'm thinking if they want buff enough.... Eberle yak or RNH plus that 1st would get it done. First of all, rentals generally get a first plus a prospect and maybe a crappy roster player if they're good enough... but if you're dealing with Edmonton you're not getting the usual late first round pick so the value there is automatically higher. Hell their chances of making playoffs are slim so that first round pick is a lottery ticket that could land a first overall (and given their luck at winning the lottery who is to say what happens) So the idea that you could get a first plus any of RNH, Eberle or Yakupov with Buff being the main piece is just pie in the sky dreaming. Any one of those players could be moved, but it won't be for a guy on an expiring contract. Maybe Yakupov but then again Yakupov showed some pretty damned good chemistry with McDavid. His problem has been that when he doesn't have an offensive minded centre he doesn't produce and given Eberle is ahead on the depth chart and Purcell is more experienced and therefore more trusted it leaves Yakupov either playing his off wing which he hasn't been good at, or in a bottom 6 role that he is ill suited to. Now however things could look different as they have 3 offensive centres so Yakupov wouldn't have to waste his time playing with Lander or Letestu. Eberle would be available for the right package, but considering he's the best pure goal scorer on the oilers and is heating up after a slow start returning from injury and has a cost controlled contract for a lot of years I doubt they're in a hurry to move him for anything less than an over pay. Same deal for RNH. Guy has been playing 1C for years and doing fine at it, he's cost controlled and still has plenty of potential. You want him offer up a young top pairing D. Mclellan loves him and consider that Nashville asked about his availability and was told that one of Weber, Josi or Jones had to go back to get talks started. So if Edmonton is getting Buff it's for at most a first round pick plus crappy players or prospects. You want the actual good players from Edmonton the cost to get them is prohibitive.

The Unknown Poster Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 If Edmonton was willing to trade a "lottery" pick for Buff, I'd be pretty interested. If the Jets went into the draft with two chances at first overall and no worse than two top level picks, I'd be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 you realize you have a way better chance of not getting the 1st overall than getting it with those two picks right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Just now, Ducky said: you realize you have a way better chance of not getting the 1st overall than getting it with those two picks right? Yes but you have a far better chance of getting it with two picks then with one. Or so I'd guess. I dropped out of Statistics. Is the draft still weighted? In other words, if the Jets finish in last place, they have the best shot at first over-all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or so I'd guess. I dropped out of Statistics. Is the draft still weighted? In other words, if the Jets finish in last place, they have the best shot at first over-all? It is more complicated now because they randomly draw for the first 3 picks. Everyone's chances of getting the 1st overall hasn't changed from last year (20% chance for last place), but now the draw for the 2nd and 3rd overall picks as well so that changes things. Your odds on the 2nd and 3rd overall pick are dependant on who got the 1st overall pick (they factor in who got it and take them out of the equation). So the biggest change is if you are last in points, you can now drop to 4th overall if you are unlucky. Where as before the most you could drop is 2nd overall. But your chances at the first overall hasn't changed at all. If you had the picks of both the 2nd and 3rd last teams, your combined chance for the first overall would be 25% vs 20% for last overall.

The Unknown Poster Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 So if you had two lottery picks, you'd have a greater shot at at least one top three pick. Are the rest weighted? For example, does the team finishing 6th last have a better shot at #1 than the team finishing 11th last? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
